These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-02-11,
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 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Cellar Rats 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 3, Round 2 - Sports - Super Bowl Records
1. There are four players who have been back-to-back Super Bowl
winners with different teams. This means the player played in
the Super Bowl on the winning side, then after being traded or
otherwise changing teams, did the same thing the following year
with his new team. Name *any one* of the four.
2. The longest span between Super Bowl wins for a player is
12 seasons. Name him or the team he played for.
3. Two teams share the record for the most *losses* in the Super
Bowl game, namely 5 games. Name *either one*.
4. One team holds the record for losses in *consecutive* Super
Bowl games, namely 4. Name them.
5. Please decode the rot13 only after you have finished with the
previous question. Gurer ner gjb grnzf gung unir znqr gur Fhcre
Objy sbhe gvzrf naq ybfg *nyy sbhe* gvzrf. Bar vf Ohssnyb,
jub qvq vg va pbafrphgvir lrnef. Anzr gur bgure.
6. Which is the only team to have won the Super Bowl on five
successive occasions when they made it into the game? That is,
over some time period they won 5 times and the other years they
did not reach the Super Bowl at all.
7. In 2018 Tom Brady set a new record for the most passing yards
in a Super Bowl game, but his team lost anyway. Within 25 yards,
what was that record?
8. This and the next question are about starting quarterbacks
(I'll write SQBs) in the Super Bowl. The youngest SQB to win
the game was 23 years and 340 days old. That was in 2006.
What's his name?
9. Before <answer 8>, Tom Brady held that record as the youngest
winning SQB, and in 2018 he became the *oldest losing* SQB
at 40 years 185 days. Now as of 2019 he is also the *oldest
winning* SQB at 41 years 184 days. Who was the previous holder
of that last record?
10. Wide receiver Jerry Rice holds the record for the most career
points scored in the Super Bowl, at 48, scored over four Super
Bowls. He played these games with the San Francisco 49ers and
which other team?
* Game 3, Round 3 - History - The Preceding Monarch
We'll give you the country and name their current or most recent
monarch, and tell you what year that monarch ascended to the throne.
Then we'll tell you what year the previous monarch took the throne,
and you'll have to say who *that* was. Name and number required
when applicable.
For example, if we said "UK: George III in 1760, preceded by who
in 1727?" you would say "George II".
1. Netherlands: William-Alexander in 2013, preceded by who in 1980?
2. Norway: Harald V in 1991, preceded by who in 1957?
3. UK: Elizabeth II in 1952, preceded by who in 1936?
4. Russia: Nicholas II in 1894, preceded by who in 1881?
5. Sweden: Carl XVI Gustav in 1973, preceded by who in 1950?
6. Denmark: Margrethe II in 1972, preceded by who in 1947?
7. Belgium: Phillipe in 2013, preceded by who in 1993?
8. Monaco: Albert II in 2005, preceded by who in 1949?
9. Pre-Napoleonic France, according to the royalists: Louis XVII
in 1795, preceded by who in 1774?
10. Germany: Wilhelm II in 1888, the year the throne changed
hands twice. We'll give you a break on this: name *either one*
of his two most recent predecessors, one in 1871 and the other
in 1888 about 3 months before him.
