These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-03-26,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I wrote one of these rounds and one question in the other.
* Game 10, Round 2 - Miscellaneous - Middle Names
In this round we'll give you a famous person's middle name -- or one
of their middle names, at least -- and their occupation, and you
simply give us their last name. Note: This refers to their names
as commonly used after they became famous. All of these people were
born in the 1800s except for the one who """is""" still alive today.
1. Babington, politician and writer.
2. Kingdom, engineer.
3. Taliaferro ("TAH-liv-er"), writer and educator.
4. Stearns, writer.
5. Gabriel, painter.
6. Spencer, politician and writer.
7. Moffat, magnate and writer.
8. Gamaliel, politician.
9. Kinnan, writer.
10. Jennings, lawyer and politician.
* Game 10, Round 3 - Entertainment - Supporting Cast, or Who are These?
Please refer to the two-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10/cast.pdf
On the handout you'll find supporting characters or members of
ensemble casts on various TV series. In one case we've blurred
out the autographs that were on this photo originally. Where two
people are in the same picture, an arrow shows which one we want.
These series all ran for at least 4 years, some for 10 years
or more, and in every case these characters were in most or all
of the seasons. For each question we'll tell you what picture,
we'll give you the genre of the show and the years it was broadcast.
And now the bad news -- or maybe it's good news, if you know them
better from some other show -- in each case you must name the
*actor or actress*.
I've sorted the round in order of the handout, and interpersed the
6 decoys with the rest. Answer for the decoys if you like for fun,
but for no points.
1. Picture A: science-fiction, 1993-99.
2. Picture B: comedy-drama, 1972-83.
3. (Decoy) picture C (science-fiction/fantasy/romance, 1993-97).
4. (Decoy) picture D (drama, 1981-89).
5. Picture E: drama, 1978-91.
6. (Decoy) picture F (comedy-romance, 1977-86).
7. Picture G: western, 1955-75.
8. Picture H: comedy, 1974-84.
9. (Decoy) picture I (comedy, 1993-2004).
10. (Decoy) picture J (comedy, 1991-99).
11. Picture K: comedy, 1982-93.
12. Picture L: comedy, 1969-74.
13. (Decoy) picture M (drama, 1981-87).
14. Picture N: comedy, 1982-89.
15. Picture O: action-adventure, 1983-87.
16. Picture P: comedy, 1978-82.

This was the hardest round in the original game.
Note the words "last name" above. Strictly speaking, if someone named
the correct person but gave both first and last names, I should've
treated it as two guesses at the last name for just 2 points -- but,
in keeping with the "spirit of generosity" mentioned in the Canadian
Inquisition rules and gave the full 4.
However, please do try to answer the question that was asked.
