QFTCI11 Game 3 Rounds 2-3: Super Bowl, science spelling
Mark Brader
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. For further information see
my 2011-05-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 3, Round 2 - The Super Bowl
With 6 days remaining until Super Bowl XLV, here's a round on what
is now the NFL's annual championship. But for its earliest years,
it was an inter-league event officially called the "AFL-NFL World
Championship Game". Where we ask you for a team, either the city
or the team name will do, like "Toronto" or "Maple Leafs".
1. The first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, now known as
Super Bowl I, was held in 1967. What team won?
2. Who won the award as the MVP (most valuable player) in
Super Bowl I?
3. Super Bowl IV, in 1970, was the last one before the two
leagues merged. Name either the AFL or the NFL team in
that game.
4. The next year, 1971, the game's MVP award went for the first
time to a player on the losing side -- the Dallas Cowboys.
Who was that?
5. Name the San Francisco 49ers quarterback who won a record
3 Super Bowl MVP awards, all in the 1980s.
6. Name the head coach who won four consecutive AFC championships
in 1990-93, but never won the Super Bowl.
7. Name the other team, besides <answer 6>'s team, that has
appeared in four Super Bowls but never won.
8. Who was the first player to be a five-time Super Bowl winner,
starting in 1988 with the San Francisco 49ers and ending in
1995 with the Dallas Cowboys?
9. Name the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback who was the first
to throw for more than 300 yards in a Super Bowl game?
That was Super Bowl XIII in 1979.
10. Who was the first Heisman-Trophy-winning quarterback to
start in a Super Bowl? He was with the Dallas Cowboys and
the game was Super Bowl VI, in 1972.
* Game 3, Round 3 - Science Spelling
As they said on the TV show "Âllo Âllo"... listen carefully,
I shall say this only once. This is a spelling round, and we're
going to use audio-round rules. That is, you can ask for a repeat
of the clue, but not the key word, which will occur either as the
last or the second-last word in the question. The idea is that
you're supposed to get the answer primarily from the clue, and the
only reason we're saying the word at all is to make sure you don't
think of a different one, not to help you hear all the right vowels.
So, in all cases, *spell that scientific word*.
1. This is a type of white blood cell that devours
bacteria... "FAY-g'site".
2. As mentioned in the last Final, this is the process where
a single cell divides into four cells, each with only half
the usual number of chromosomes. It's how sperm and egg
cells are formed, and it's called... "my-OH-siss".
3. An alignment of three orbiting bodies close to a straight
line, such as the Sun, Moon, and Earth at new moon or full
moon, is known as a conjunction or... "SIZZ-i-jee".
4. According to paleontologists, humans evolved into their
present form during the epoch known as the... "PLY-stuh-seen".
5. This is the region in the outer solar system where certain
comets were once believed to originate, and where Pluto is
located: it's called the... "KIGH-per" belt.
6. This species of fish was known only from fossils and was
thought to be have been extinct since the Cretaceous
era -- until a live one turned up in a fishing net in
1938... "SEAL-uh-kanth".
7. Objects moving freely on the surface of a rotating body
seem to curve in their paths, which leads to rotating
weather phenomena such as hurricanes. This is known as
the... "kor-ee-OH-liss" effect.
8. An object that behaves as if it contained two simple magnets
is said to have a... "KWOD-roo-pole" moment.
9. One of the most deadly poison gases used during World War I
was carbonyl chloride, otherwise known as carbon oxychloride
or... "FOSS-jeen".
10. A gas commonly burned in welding torches has the formula
C2H2, and is known as... "uh-SET-uh-leen".
