These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2020-01-27,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of MI5 and are used here by
permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped
and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2019-10-16
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

Game *3* in this thread.
Well, I think most people would prefer to simply play the rounds
that were posted. So for newsgroup purposes I'll count these two
rounds as part of Game 3, and move the rounds that I meant to post
this time into Game 4.
Unfortunately this means that Game 3, as played here, will have
had two Entertainment rounds, and two Science rounds, but no Sports
or Canadiana; and Game 4, as played here, will have two Canadiana
rounds and two Sports rounds, but no Science or Entertainment.
Sorry about the screwup, folks.
Oh, and the correct date for these Game 4 rounds is 2020-02-03.
Not that I imagine it made a difference to interpreting the questions!

> 1. 1989, Brooklyn: Danny Aiello, Ruby Dee, Rosie Perez.
"Do the Right Thing". 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Pete.
> 2. 1957, New York County: Henry Fonda, Martin Balsam, Lee J, Cobb.
"12 Angry Men". 4 for Joshua, Stephen, Pete, and Calvin.
New York County is just part of the City of New York. In most places
outside of a courthouse it's better known as the Borough of Manhattan.
> 3. 1981, Jakarta: Sigourney Weaver, Michael Murphy, Bembol Roco.
"The Year of Living Dangerously". 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Stephen,
Pete, and Calvin.
> 4. 1996, Canton, Mississippi: Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew
> McConaughey, Kevin Spacey.
"A Time to Kill". 4 for Joshua and Stephen.
"Mississippi Burning" was set in Mississippi, but not in Canton,
was released in 1988, and did not have any of those actors in it.
So, not the best guess.
> 5. 1954, Greenwich Village, New York City: Thelma Ritter, Raymond
> Burr, Grace Kelly.
"Rear Window". 4 for Joshua, Stephen, Pete, and Calvin.
> 6. 1958, Mississippi: Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Dame Judith Anderson.
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". 4 for Stephen.
"Cool Hand Luke" did have Paul Newman in it, but not Burl Ives or
Judith Anderson, it was set in Florida, and it was released in 1967.
Also not the best quess.
> 7. 1990, Texas: Don Johnson, Virginia Madsen, Jennifer Connelly.
"The Hot Spot". 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, and Stephen.
> 8. 1999, New York City: John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody, Mira Sorvino.
"Summer of Sam". 4 for Joshua and Stephen.
> 9. 1981, Florida: William Hurt, Richard Crenna, Ted Danson.
"Body Heat". 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, and Stephen.
> 10. 1991, Los Angeles: John Turturro, John Goodman, Judy Davis.
"Barton Fink". 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, and Stephen.
> * Game 4, Round 8 - Science - The Human Body
In the original Game 4, this was the hardest round. But the
original Game 3 had rounds of more widely varying difficulty than
the original Game 4 did; and as a result, of the set of rounds making
up Game 3 as played here in the newsgroup, this was not the hardest.
You've already seen the one that was.
> 1. There are three sets of these organs in the body: lingual,
> pharyngeal, and palatine. But when most people speak their name,
> they're referring to the palatine ones. What organs?
Tonsils. 4 for Dan Blum, Bruce, and Stephen.
> 2. What is the largest vein in the human body?
Inferior vena cava. (Full answer required.) 4 for Stephen.
> 3. Ammon's horn is a part of which major component of the human

Hippocampus. 4 for Stephen. 3 for Dan Blum.
> 4. What is the body's second-largest organ by weight, after

Liver. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Bruce, Stephen, and Calvin.
> 5. Borborygmus is the medical term for what sometimes embarrassing

Tummy rumbles. 4 for Joshua, Bruce, Stephen, and Dan Tilque.
> 6. Which part of the digestive system acts as a switch between the

Epiglottis. 4 for Stephen.
> 7. Name the smallest bone in a human's spinal column.
Coccyx. 4 for Dan Blum, Bruce, and Stephen.
> 8. What is the name of the glands that produce tears?
Lachrymal or lacrimal glands. 4 for Joshua, Bruce, and Stephen.
3 for Dan Blum and Calvin.
> 9. Where in the human body do you find the alveoli?
Lungs. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Bruce, Stephen, and Dan Tilque.

Stapes or stirrup. 4 for Bruce, Stephen, and Calvin. 2 for Pete.
