These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-02-25,
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 4, Round 4 - History - 1938
All these events occurred in 1938.
1. When two German scientists, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman,
reported a surprising experimental result, Lise Meitner and
Otto Frisch worked out how it was possible and realized that
they had discovered *what new source of energy*?
2. Mao Zedong's Chinese Communists forced the Nationalist Kuomintang
to withdraw to Chunking. Who was the leader of the Nationalists?
3. Alan Turing presented his PhD dissertation, which led to
his joining the team that broke the Germans' codes during
World War II. What code machine was Turing principally
involved with during the war?
4. In 1938 two US oil companies in partnership discovered a massive
quantity of oil in Saudi Arabia. Name either US company as it
was known at the time, or give its current name.
5. This inventor greatly improved and patented a type of pen,
to great success. In many countries, his name is synonymous
with that type of pen. Who?
6. Which American company synthesized a new polymer that they
named nylon?
7. US Congress passed into law the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,
a bill that provided rights and other benefits to American
workers over age 18. Name any of the rights or provisions
it created.
8. A large surplus of coffee beans led to the creation of a new
product. Name the company or the product, or give the generic
name for the product.
9. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings wrote a novel of a young boy's
attachment to a baby wild animal. Give the title.
10. Thornton Wilder wrote a stage play that follows the daily
lives of people in a small town. Give the title.
* Game 4, Round 6 - Physics Miscellany
1. The standard model of physics recognizes four forces: the strong
force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and what other?
2. The electromagnetic spectrum contains photons with as those of
light, with different energies and different frequencies.
Photons with the lowest energy and lowest frequencies make up
radio waves. What do those with highest energy and highest
frequencies make?
3. Max Planck was a German physicist who laid the foundations
of quantum theory. Named after him is a fundamental constant
of quantum physics, which relates the energy of a photon to
its frequency. Name the *letter* that's used to denote this
constant.
4. SNOLAB is a physics laboratory located 2 km underground in a
nickel mine in Sudbury, Ontario. It was designed to observe
what subatomic particles coming from outer space?
5. What do we call the effect when the frequency of sound or light
waves increases when emitted from a source moving toward us?
6. The positively-charged antimatter counterpart of the electron
is called an antielectron -- or, more commonly, what?
7. According to Ohm's Law, what do we get when we divide the voltage
across an electrical resistor by its resistance? Or if you like,
just name the unit we measure it in.
8. What causes the cracking sound of a whip when properly wielded?
9. What term refers to the result of multiplying the velocity of
a moving object by its mass?
10. What short, unprefixed name applies to an SI unit for force?
(For example, if we had asked for pressure we would want the
pascal, not the kilopascal and not the kg/m·s².)

Mark Brader:
Dan Tilque, Erland, Pete, and Bruce.
Hahn won the Nobel prize for this. In the original game the question
omitted Meitner and Frisch's contribution.
> 2. Mao Zedong's Chinese Communists forced the Nationalist Kuomintang
> to withdraw to Chunking. Who was the leader of the Nationalists?
Chiang Kai-Shek. I accepted "Chang". 4 for Dan Tilque, Erland,
Calvin, Pete, and Joshua.
> 3. Alan Turing presented his PhD dissertation, which led to
> his joining the team that broke the Germans' codes during

Enigma. 4 for everyone -- Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Erland, Calvin,
Pete, Joshua, and Bruce.
In the original game Enigma was identified as the "British name"
for the machine. It was actually a German brand name; the original
version of the machine was marketed for corporate use, not military.

Standard Oil of California ("Standard Oil" was sufficient although
several different companies had that name, but one of the other
companies was wrong), Chevron; Texas Oil, Texaco.
> 5. This inventor greatly improved and patented a type of pen,
> to great success. In many countries, his name is synonymous

László Bíró. (The ballpoint pen. Not Marcel Bich, who later
founded the Bic company.) 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Calvin,
Joshua, and Bruce.
> 6. Which American company synthesized a new polymer that they

DuPont. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Bruce.

Minimum wage, extra pay for overtime, curtailed child labor.
4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.
I am no expert on this act; if you have reason to think your answer
scored wrong was also correct, please post a protest.

Nestlé, Nescafé, freeze-dried/instant coffee. 4 for Dan Blum,
Dan Tilque, Erland, and Bruce.

"The Yearling". 4 for Dan Tilque, Calvin, Joshua, and Bruce.

"Our Town". 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Pete, Joshua, and Bruce.

H. (In lower case, actually.) 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Erland,
Calvin, Joshua, and Bruce.
It is said that a Russian student was once shown the equation
"E = h nu" and asked what h and nu were. And the answers were:
"Planck's constant" and "The length of the plank".

Neutrinos. (SNO = Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.) 4 for Dan Blum,
Dan Tilque, Erland, and Bruce.

Doppler effect. 4 for everyone.

Positron. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Erland, Calvin, and Joshua.

Current, ampere. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Erland, Calvin,
and Pete. 3 for Bruce.
> 8. What causes the cracking sound of a whip when properly wielded?
Sonic boom. The tip moves faster than the speed of sound in air.
4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Calvin, Pete, Joshua, and Bruce.
A few days ago on "Jeopardy!" a question cited an item about this in
"Scientific American" where they said it was the loop, not the tip,
that goes supersonic. However, I saw a "Mythbusters" episode where
they showed it in super slow motion and it *was* the tip.

https://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1701.html would indicate that the 40
hour work week (my answer) was part of the 1938 FLSA. (that other

So do other sources. It's not clear from what I read whether the 40
hours was the most someone could be required to work or if it was only
the point when overtime pay kicked in, but I'll accept that answer.
