These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-11-24,
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 10, Round 4 - Art - Favorite Paintings
You want Art instead of all that Literature? Well here it is,
a handout round of extremely famous paintings. Please see the
3-page PDF at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-4/art.pdf
We'll name the artist and you give us the letter that corresponds
to his painting.
1. Jackson Pollock.
2. Henri Rousseau.
3. Paul Cézanne.
4. Salvador Dalí.
5. Diego Velázquez.
6. Sandro Botticelli.
7. Pablo Picasso.
8. Georges Seurat.
9. Rembrandt van Rijn.
10. Johannes Vermeer.
So there were 3 decoys. Decode the rot13 if you want to try them
for fun, but for no points.
11. Xngfhfuvxn Ubxhfnv.
12. Ivaprag ina Tbtu.
13. Pynhqr Zbarg.
* Game 10, Round 6 - Science - The Amazing Space Race
Not counting debris, there are approximately 3,000 artificial
satellites in Earth orbit. But back in the day, a launch was
a big deal. This round is on rocketry and the history of space
exploration.
1. What was the name of Canada's first artificial satellite,
launched in 1962? It was the first satellite constructed in
a country other than the US or USSR, although it was launched
by a US rocket.
2. What was the designation of the multi-stage rocket that launched
the Apollo astronauts to the Moon?
3. In September, the Mangalyaan probe entered orbit around Mars --
making it the fourth space program to reach the red planet
after the US, Russia, and European Space Agency. Which country
launched it?
4. These rockets were named for characters in Greek myth. Used in
NASA's early space program and, more ominously, they launched
intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles for three decades.
Name the rocket family.
5. Name the family of rockets, also named from Greek myth, that
for 35 years have been the chief payload-carrier for the European
Space Agency.
6. Named for the Russian word for union, these rockets are
currently the only transportation available for astronauts at
the International Space Station. Name the rocket family.
7. Among his highly-publicized enterprises, this South-African-born
Canadian/American magnate founded SpaceX, the first private
company to launch and dock a vehicle at the International
Space Station. Name him.
8. In October 2004, SpaceShipOne became the first privately-funded
vessel to launch a human into suborbital space. Name the
software-giant co-founder who funded that endeavor.
9. Name the only other country, besides the US and Russia/USSR,
that has launched humans into space.
10. Which country is developing the infamous Taepodong ballistic
missiles?
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: Vs lbh fnvq

Alouette I. The number was not required.

Saturn V. 4 for Dan Blum, Peter, Dan Tilque, Joshua, Bruce, and Rob.
"Saturn" was not specific enough. In fact the Saturn V consisted
of a Saturn I-C as the first stage, a Saturn II as the second, and a
Saturn IV-B as the third. (So we see that, at NASA, 1 + 2 + 4 = 5.)
