These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-04-22,
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 the Night Owls, 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 2013-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

Who was this artist?
8. This artist, born in Ireland in 1810, is best known for

at 56 Wellesley St. E., in a house that is still standing.
Who was this artist who died in 1871?
9. This member of the Group of Seven was born in England in 1881.
He and Lauren Harris were the only two members of the group
who painted portraits. He died in 1969, and there is an
art gallery named after him in Unionville. Who was he?
* Children's Books by Writers Not Known for Writing for Children
10. Which British author wrote the children's book "Chitty Chitty
Bang Bang", which was filmed in 1968?
11. What Nobel prizewinning novelist wrote "The Red Pony"?
12. What British essayist, writing with his sister, wrote the
children's book "Tales from Shakespeare" in 1807?
* Opening Lines of Novels (yes, again)
We'll give you the opening lines of a novel; you name it.
13. A squat gray building of only thirty-four storeys.
Over the main entrance the words, "Central London Hatchery
and Conditioning Centre", and in a shield, the World State"s
motto...
14. The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring
fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting...
15. In the town, there were two mutes and they were always
together.

Egads! They have Canadian artists in Grand Theft Auto that I am supposed
to know? (Or at least Toronto pub visitors should know?)
Sorry, of the questions I only had a guess about "Brave New World", but for
some reason I had to look at the other answers before knowing the title
in full.

Lord Byron's poem "Prometheus" is 59 lines long and begins:
Titan! to whose immortal eyes
The sufferings of mortality,
Seen in their sad reality,
Were not as things that gods despise;
What was thy pity's recompense?
Johann von Goethe's poem "Prometheus" is 56 lines long and begins:
Bedecke deinen Himmel, Zeus,
Mit Wolkendunst
Und übe, dem Knaben gleich,
Der Disteln köpft
An Eichen dich und Bergeshöhen!
or in one translation:
Cover thy spacious heavens, Zeus,
With clouds of mist,
And, like the boy who lops
The thistles' heads,
Disport with oaks and mountain-peaks
And then there's Percy Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound", which is not
just a poem, but a play in verse, like Shakespeare. It's approximately
20,000 lines long and begins with Prometheus saying:
Monarch of Gods and Daemons, and all Spirits
But One, who throng those bright and rolling worlds
Which Thou and I alone of living things
Behold with sleepless eyes! regard this Earth
Made multitudinous with thy slaves, whom thou
Requitest for knee-worship, prayer, and praise,
And toil, and hecatombs of broken hearts,
With fear and self-contempt and barren hope.
I'm scoring Shelley as almost correct, so that makes:
4 for Stephen. 3 for Joshua and Calvin (the hard way).
