QFTCI11 Game 7 Rounds 4,6: hard flags, hard mottos
Mark Brader
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. For further information see
my 2011-05-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote 4 questions in one of these rounds.
* Game 7, Round 4 - Confusing Flags
As everyone knows, it is extremely important to be able to identify
different national flags; otherwise, how could you possibly
distinguish a friendly ship from a hostile one?
On the handout http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/0704/flag.png
you will find a number of flags that may lead to errors in
identification. 24 of them are flags of independent countries;
one belongs to a dependent territory. A couple of flags actually
show the name of the country, so we have removed some lettering
from those.
All flag images are taken from the Flags of the World web site,
where they try to reproduce flags in their correct shapes and
proper shades of color. Some other sources where you might have
seen these flags would have all the rectangles the same shape and
would use only a few colors so that flags 14 and 15, for example,
would look identical. Of course the colors are still only as
accurate as your display; the point is, don't be put off by minor
variations. Also note that a few flags exist in two versions,
with or without a coat of arms or similar feature; we've gone with
whichever version was given precedence at Flags of the World.
So, for each question we will name a country and you must tell us
the flag number.
1. Lithuania.
2. The Philippines.
3. Paraguay.
4. Guatemala.
5. Cuba.
6. Ghana.
7. Nicaragua.
8. Costa Rica.
9. Colombia.
10. Thailand.
The decoys are listed here in rot13. Name them if you like for fun,
but for no points.
11. Netragvan.
12. Obyvivn.
13. Pnzrebba.
14. Punq.
15. Puvyr.
16. Pmrpu Erchoyvp.
17. Rphnqbe.
18. Thvarn.
19. Ubaqhenf.
20. Znyv.
21. Zlnazne (Ohezn).
22. Argureynaqf.
23. Chregb Evpb (HF qrcraqrapl).
24. Ebznavn.
25. Irarmhryn.
* Game 7, Round 6 - Canadian Mottos
1. What is the official motto of Ontario, in its conventional
English translation? It's six words long; exact answer
required.
2. Which province or territory of Canada has an official motto
that mentions its own name? In its English version, the
motto begins with the name and continues with the words
"our strength".
3. Please answer the previous question before decoding the
following rot13: Ahanihg vf gur bayl bar bs Pnanqn'f

5. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God".
6. "Splendor without diminishment".
7. "The small under the protection of the great".
8. "One defends and the other conquers".
9. Which company or organization has the motto "Maintiens
le droit"?
10. According to the Globe and Mail's editorial-page motto,
the subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate will
neither advise nor submit to what? We need both words.

> * Game 7, Round 6 - Canadian Mottos
> 1. What is the official motto of Ontario, in its conventional
> English translation? It's six words long; exact answer
> required.
By the way, a more literal translation of the actual Latin motto
would be "As he/she/it began loyal, so he/she/it remains".
> 2. Which province or territory of Canada has an official motto
> that mentions its own name? In its English version, the
> motto begins with the name and continues with the words
> "our strength".
> 3. Please answer the previous question before decoding the
> territories to have an official motto, but all of the
> provinces do, mostly in Latin. For the next six questions
> we will read you a motto in its English translation and you
> must name the province. Your motto is: "Glorious and free".
Manitoba. 2 for Stephen.
> 4. "Strong and free".
> 5. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God".
> 6. "Splendor without diminishment".
Rob, and Stephen. 2 for Joshua.
> 7. "The small under the protection of the great".
3 for Dan Blum and Rob. 2 for Calvin.
> 8. "One defends and the other conquers".
For some erudite discussion of just what that motto might be supposed
to *mean*, see:

> 9. Which company or organization has the motto "Maintiens

2 for Dan Tilque.
> 10. According to the Globe and Mail's editorial-page motto,
> the subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate will
> neither advise nor submit to what? We need both words.

their embassies on my way to and from work, and the flags outside the
embassies has a clear yellow colour.
(Roumania was not in the game, and the Colombian flag has different design
from the one I entered. Somehow, I recalled that arc of stars from the
Colombian flag, but I noticed last night as I cycled past the embassy,
that were no stars on the flag.)
The prize for the most confusing pair of flags has to go Slovenia and
Slovakia.

same, but the white is on top.
At one time Haiti and Liechtenstein had the same flag, a horizontal blue
and red bicolor. Due to confusion this caused at the 1936 Olympics,
Leichtenstein added the crown to distinguish them.

On the other hand, while the Slovenian and Slovakian flags are about as
similar as the country names are, they are different, and you can bet
that if you show the wrong flag, the people from the two countries will
see the mistake on the spot.
