These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-25,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 5, Round 4 - Sports - Yoga Poses
Namaste! Please see the handout at
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/5-4/yoga.pdf
and let's see how many of these common yoga poses you know.
As well as the pictures, we will give you the names in Sanskrit
and a brief description.
I have rearranged the questions in picture order; there were
two decoys, which you may identify for fun, but for no points.
Each answer is a single word in English.
1. Halasana (decoy).
2. Savasana, a restorative pose.
3. Balasana, a resting pose that's the usual alternative given in
class if you are unable to do a more advanced pose.
4. Paripurna navasana is is great for building core strength.
5. Marjaryasana, a gentle stretch usually done in tandem with the
cow pose.
6. Utkatasana means powerful or fierce pose; it's strengthening
and stretching pose.
7. Padmasana, a calming seated pose.
8. Vrksasana, a standing pose that helps improve balance.
Beginners can often only place their raised foot at their ankle
or shin, while more advanced yogis can reach their inner thigh.
9. Virabhadrasana, a strength pose with three variations. This is
version #2.
10. Ustrasana (decoy).
11. Bhujangasana, a chest-opener pose that's often used in a
sun-salutation asana.
12. Dandasana, another resting pose, that's often the start of
poses done on the floor.

* Game 5, Round 6 - Canadiana - Nunavut
And then there were three. Let's see how well you know Canada's
largest, northernmost, and newest territory.
1. Within one year, in what year did Nunavut officially separate
from the Northwest Territories to become Canada's third

2. What does the word "Nunavut" mean in Inuktitut?

plate as the Northwest Territories. On its new design, you
will find one <answer 3>, three streams of northern lights, and
25 stars; but there is also one other symbol of the north. What?
5. What is Nunavut's current capital city?
6. This hamlet is known for its artisans who work in many media
including ceramics, carving and prints. It is also the second
most populous center, with 2,577 people according to the
2011 census. Name this community.
7. How many members represent Nunavut in the House of Commons?
8. Historical accounts of Nunavut began in 1576 with the journal
of the English explorer who led an expedition to find the
Northwest Passage and made the first recorded European contact
with the Inuit. Name the explorer.
9. Though born in Churchill, Manitoba, this New Jersey Devil grew
up and learned to play hockey in <answer 6>. Name him.
10. This Inuit singer-songwriter was also born in Churchill,

1999 (accepting 1998-2000). As Björn noted, I kind of gave this
away by not editing it out of #4, but some of you missed it anyway.
4 for Joshua and Dan Tilque. 3 for Pete.

Our land.

Inukshuk. I accepted "inuksik". 4 for Joshua (the hard way).
See: http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/c/ca-nu.gif

Polar bear. Some entrants guessed this answer for #3, but not for
this question.
See: http://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8233/8540040783_70f85f6608_b.jpg
The old design also featured a polar bear, but differently.
See: http://www.plateshack.com/y2k/Nunavut/nun2010sept.jpg
> 5. What is Nunavut's current capital city?
Iqaluit. I accepted "Iqualuit" but scored "Ilaquit" as almost
correct. 4 for Joshua and Dan Tilque. 3 for Pete.

Rankin Inlet.
> 7. How many members represent Nunavut in the House of Commons?
1. 3 for Joshua.
You might have guessed this considering that the second-largest
place in the territory has only 2,577 people.
Even 1 member is an overrepresentation in terms of the territory's
population, but a necessary one considering that it would be difficult
to have representation with less than 1 member. In the 2011 census
the population of Canada was 33,476,688, and the House of Commons has
(or rather will have after the current election, the first since the
redistribution following this census) 338 seats, or one per 99,043
people; but the population of Nunavut was only 31,906.

You might have guessed this considering that the second-largest
place in the territory has only 2,577 people.
Even 1 member is an overrepresentation in terms of the territory's
population, but a necessary one considering that it would be difficult
to have representation with less than 1 member. In the 2011 census
the population of Canada was 33,476,688, and the House of Commons has
(or rather will have after the current election, the first since the
redistribution following this census) 338 seats, or one per 99,043
people; but the population of Nunavut was only 31,906.
