These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04,
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 to the newsgroup in a single followup,
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 10-12 days.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 6 - Geography
* Double Capitals
Some countries in the world have more than one capital city.
We name one of the capitals; you name the other.
1. Amsterdam is the Netherlands' official capital. Which other
city is its administrative center and the seat of its national
legislature and judiciary?
2. La Paz is the seat of Bolivia's national legislative, executive,
and elective bodies. Which city is the country's official
constitutional capital and the seat of its national judiciary?
3. Santiago is Chile's official capital and the seat of its national
administrative and judicial bodies. What other city is the seat
of its national legislature?
* World Currencies
We name the currency and show you a bill; you name the country
whose official currency it is.
4. The pula: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR6/curr1.jpg
5. The birr: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR6/curr2.jpg
6. The taka: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR6/curr3.jpg
* US State Flags
In each case, name the state.
7. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR6/flag1.jpg
8. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR6/flag2.jpg
9. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR6/flag3.jpg
* Antipodes
Many places don't, but each of these cities does lie exactly
opposite to land on the other side of the world. In each case,
name the *country* where that antipodal point is located.
10. Santiago, Chile.
11. Manila, Philippines.
12. Wellington, New Zealand.
* Continental Extremes
Again, name the *country* where each of these points is located.
13. The northernmost point of Africa's continental mainland.
14. The westernmost point of Europe's continental mainland.
15. The northernmost point of South America's continental mainland.
