These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-11-03,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Unnatural Axxxe, 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 2014-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
Game 7, Round 9 - Science - The Complex Made Easy
Hey, nobody said life was simple. Psychological complexes -- the
notion of organizing the unconscious mind around a common theme --
originated with Freud and Jung and continues today. In this round,
we'll describe complexes and ask you to name them.
1. From Greek mythology, an Oedipal complex involves a male child
with an antipathy toward his father and attraction for
his mother. What is the same syndrome -- affinity for the
opposite-sex parent -- called in girls?
2. Still drawing on the story of Oedipus, what complex is attached
to a mother with an obsessive fixation on her son?
3. A person with perceived physical shortcomings may compensate
by overachieving to an obsessive degree, particularly in areas
of leadership. This psychological complex is named for a
historical figure.
4. Difficult relationships between a father and daughter, or
the perceived absence of that father, can contribute to this
complex in which women seek out men considerably their senior.
The syndrome is named for a controversial novel.
5. Another complex named from Greek myth was identified in 1949
by philosopher Gaston Bachelard. The sufferer compulsively
warns others of the consequences of their behavior, with a
side-effect of feeling their grief to an extreme degree.
6. This fairytale-based complex was described in 1981 by Colette
Dowling, writing about women who fear independence. It describes
women who feel incapable of changing their situations without
outside help, usually male. Think Disney.
7. Dr. Fredric Wertham wrote the controversial 1954 book "Seduction
of the Innocent", about the malign effects of comic books on
children. One enduring complex he identified -- an unhealthy
sense of responsibility and overriding desire to "save" others --
was named for a comic-book character.
8. This complex is marked by a low sense of self-worth and
feelings of failure to measure up to standards. Sufferers
overcompensate with extreme achievement or act out anti-socially.
This descriptively-named complex was defined by Alfred Adler.
9. This complex was first described by Freud as a man's inability
to maintain sexual arousal within a committed, loving
relationship. Men with this complex tend to compartmentalize
all women as either saintly or as prostitutes.
10. Not recognized by the all psychoanalysts, but popular
in pop-psychology, this complex refers to avoidance of adult
responsibility by laziness and lack of direction. Call them
slackers or diagnose them with this kid-lit-inspired complex.
* Game 7, Round 10 - Challenge Round of the Decades (or, It's Been Ages)
A. Science: Medicine in the 1920s
A1. In 1922, Banting and Best identified which hormone, leading
to the successful treatment of diabetes?
A2. In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered which antibacterial
agent that could kill many harmful bacteria?
B. Miscellaneous: Architecture in the 1930s
B1. Which New York City landmark was the tallest building in
the world at 1,250 feet when it opened to the public in 1931?
B2. In 1935, which architect designed one of his masterpieces,
Fallingwater, in southwestern Pennsylvania?
C. Geography: Rock in the 1940s
C1. In 1940 the entrance to a complex of caves containing
Paleolithic cave paintings was discovered by an 18-year-old
in southwestern France. What is the name of the cave
complex?
C2. This gargantuan sculpture in South Dakota was "completed"
in October 1941, although not according to the wishes of
the original sculptor. Name the sculpture.
D. Literature: Kiddie-Lit in the 1950s
D1. A comic strip originally titled "Li'l Folks" first appeared
in 7 newspapers in 1950. A name change was inspired by
the "peanut gallery" of the Howdy Doody show, and the rest
is history. *Who* created and drew this strip?
D2. This book about a tall, anthropomorphic cat -- and the
trouble he and a couple of children get into -- came out
in 1957 by an author who used his middle name as his nom
de plume. Name the *book*.
E. Sports: Firsts in the 1960s
E1. This country may have one of the world's leading economies,
but the first and only time to date that it won the World
Cup of soccer ("football", if you prefer) was in 1966.
What country?
E2. This annual championship of American football ("football",
if you prefer), now an iconic sporting event, was first
played in 1967 although the name now used for it was not
made official until later. What name is that?
F. Entertainment: TV in the 1970s
In each case, name the series.
F1. This sitcom debuted in 1972 and ran until 1983, which meant
it lasted longer than the war it was portraying.
F2. This late-night comedy/variety show debuted in 1975, with
George Carlin as host, and it's still running today.
