These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-23,
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 9, Round 9 - Entertainment - Movie Mash-Up
We will take words or phrases from the titles of three movies
that the same star has appeared in, and mash them into one
combined title. You tell us the name of the star who appears in
all three movies. For example, if we said "Top Thunder Maguire",
we would be talking about "Top Gun", "Days of Thunder", and "Jerry
Maguire", and you would say Tom Cruise. You do not need to name
the movies, just the star.
1. "Pretty Pelican Enemy".
2. "Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Vampire".
3. "Good Private Supremacy".
4. "Apocalypse Rebel Without a Rider".
5. "Annie Hunter, If You Can".
6. "Immortal Air Force Spy".
7. "Charlie's Extra Lyrics".
8. "Requiem for a Beautiful Diamond".
9. "The Talented Doors in Love".
10. "One Flew Over the Shorty Twins".
* Game 9, Round 10 - NATO Alphabet Challenge Round
A. Alpha: Alphabetical Lists in History
A1. In an alphabetical list of US presidents by first name,
who comes first?
A2. Shared by 6 different popes, what first name comes first
in an alphabetical list of all popes?
B. Bravo, the Television Network
B1. Name the man who hosts the Bravo show "Inside the Actors
Studio".
B2. Now in its 10th season, the first series of "Real
Housewives..." featured Vicki, Jeana, Lauri, Jo, and
Kimberley, who were the "Real Housewives" of *where in
California*?
C. Charlie Bit My Finger: YouTube Videos
Until this year, a 55-second video called "Charlie Bit My Finger"
was the most-watched *non-musical* YouTube video of all time.
Here are two questions about most-watched YouTube videos of
any kind.
C1. Uploaded in July 2012, what song is by far the most watched
YouTube video of all time, with nearly 2,500,000,000 views?
C2. Which female singer has 2 of the 6 most-watched videos of
all time? Both of the songs were released in 2014.
D. Delta: River Deltas
D1. At the Nile Delta, the river divides into two main
distributaries: the Damietta and *what other distributary*?
Hint: it shares its name with a small Egyptian village that
is most famous for a granodiorite stone tablet discovered
there in 1799.
D2. The delta of the Mississippi River is in Louisiana, but
the term Mississippi Delta refers to a separate area, a
distinctive area part of northwest Mississippi between
the Mississippi and another river. Name that other river.
Hint: It shares its name with the British name of a British
band featuring Alison Moyet and Vince Clark.
E. Echo: Echocardiography
E1. Echocardiography is a procedure that uses ultrasound
technology to examine the heart or blood vessels. It uses
high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the heart,
while also determining the speed and direction of blood flow.
The technology utilizes an effect first identified by *which
Austrian scientist* in 1842?
E2. An echocardiogram is a sonogram of the heart. But it is not
abbreviated to ECG, because that abbreviation was already
taken. What does the E stand for in ECG?
F. Foxtrot: The Language of Ballroom Dancing
F1. What ballroom dance, based on Spanish dances of the 16th
Century, takes its name from the Spanish for "double step"?
F2. What ballroom dance, with gliding turns, takes its name
from the German for "roll" or "turn"?
