These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-03-17,
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 did not write these rounds.
* Game 9, Round 7 - Geography - Cultural Monuments
1. In what *city* will you find the Universal House of Justice,
the temple that houses the governing body of the Baha'i faith?
2. In what *country* can you find the Tomb of Hussein, one of the
holiest shrines for Shiite Muslims?
3. In what *city* is La Fenice ("Fe-NEE-che") Opera House found?
4. The Maryinsky Theatre ["Mary-YIN-ski"] is the home of the
Maryinsky Ballet, more famously, though now unofficially,
known as the Kirov Ballet, especially for foreign engagements.
In what *city* is the theatre?
5. In what *Ontario town* can you find the historic Norman Bethune
House?
6. In which *city* can you find the Ashmolean Library (now incorporated
into the Sackler Library)?
7. An equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius stands in this square,
which is located on one of Rome's seven hills. Michelangelo
redesigned the square. Name *either* the square or the hill.
8. Less famous than Pompeii but nearly as impressive is the restored
ancient city at the mouth of the Tiber. Name this *ancient city*,
which was the port that served Rome.
9. In what *US city and state* would you find the Mayo Clinic?
10. In what *city and state* would you find the US National Naval
Medical Center?
* Game 9, Round 8 - Canadiana Sports - University Athletic Logos
Please see the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/o9/8/logos.pdf
It displays pictures of Canadian university athletic logos.
We have removed the name of the school if it's present, because
in each case, that's what you have to give. Some logos are
gender-specific, but you don't have to specify that in your answer.
(*Note*: I have no idea how many of these logos are still current
in 2021. You must give the answers that were correct in 2003.)
I've sorted the round in order of the handout, interspersing the
decoys with the others to give 26 total questions from #1 to #28;
answer for the decoys if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. (decoy)

The two words are unrelated: "Fenice" means "Phoenix", and while
the etymology of "Venice" ("Venezia" in Italian) is uncertain,
that's not considered a possibility.
