These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-11-17,
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 9, Round 4 - Literature Entertainment - Can We Do Something
about the Title?
The studio likes the story, but they think the title needs more
oomph. We'll give you the name of the source material and something
about the movie it inspired. You give the movie's title (which in
some cases was also adopted for later editions of the source work).
1. "Flowers For Algernon" by Daniel Keyes. Cliff Robertson won
the Academy Award for Best Actor for the 1968 film.
2. "A Jest of God" by Margaret Laurence. 1968 film directed by
Paul Newman.
3. "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick.
Film versions directed by Paul Verhoeven and Len Wiseman in
1990 and 2012 respectively.
4. John D. MacDonald's "The Executioners." Film versions starred
Gregory Peck and Nick Nolte, in 1962 and 1991 respectively.
5. "Red Alert" by Peter George. Stanley Kubrick film, 1962.
6. "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. 1979 movie.
7. "The Body" by Stephen King. 1986 movie.
8. "Shoeless Joe" by W.P. Kinsella. 1989 movie.
9. "Wiseguys" by Nicholas Pileggi. 1990 movie directed by Scorsese.
10. "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorpe. 1988 movie starred
Bruce Willis.
* Game 9, Round 6 - Entertainment Geography - TV Land
This round is about TV series and the places where they are set
(not where they are shot).
1. Betty White, Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, and Wendy Malick
star in this sitcom whose title mentions a US city. Give that
title.
2. Name the vampire/supernatural HBO series that wrapped last
August that's set in Bon Temps, Louisiana.
For the remaining questions, just name the place where the series
is set. In the case of metropolitan areas, the major city of that
area will do.
3. "Less Than Kind" -- Canadian city.
4. "Republic of Doyle" -- Canadian city.
5. "Flashpoint" -- Canadian city.
6. "I Love Lucy" -- US city.
7. "Queer as Folk", the US version -- US city.
8. "Frasier" -- US city.
9. "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" -- US city.
10. "Dragnet".

A couple of people mentioned Los Angeles. This is the result of
confusing two or three different long-running sitcoms that both
starred Lucille Ball. "I Love Lucy" was her first one; it ran from
1951 to 1961 and she played Lucy Ricardo. Reruns of the show were
broadcast under several other titles, including "Lucy in Connecticut",
"The Sunday Lucy Show", and "The Lucy Show".
The second sitcom ran from 1962 to 1967, at first under the title
"The Lucille Ball Show" but soon changing to "The Lucy Show" --
one of the alternate titles of the first sitcom. In this one her
character was Lucy Carmichael and she lived first in Danfield CT,
then in San Francisco CA.
The third sitcom may also be considered as a continuation of the
second one, but with some characters having different names, and
other continuity changes. This one ran from 1968 to 1974 and was
titled "Here's Lucy", and *this* time the setting is Los Angeles.
Ball's character this time was Lucy Carter.

Cable TV Shows" by Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh.)
