These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-05-14,
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 What She Said 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
recent companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 2 - Geography - Nude Beaches
We'll name the beach or beaches, you tell us where they are.
No bonus points for taking your clothes off.
1. In which Canadian province would you find Patricia Beach and
Beaconia Beach?
2. In which Canadian province would you find Crystal Crescent Beach?
3. In which Canadian province would you fine Barnston Beach,
Crescent Beach, and the beach at Ram Creek?
4. Wreck Beach is on the land of which Canadian institution of
higher learning?
5. Although this country has many nude beaches, the first to
actually be made legal (in 2014) was Apricio, which is in
Grumani and about an hour from a major city. Name the *country*.
6. This city has many nude beaches, including Cobblers, Lady Jane,
Little Congwong, Obelisk, and Werrong Beaches. Name the *city*.
7. This town and its Plage de Tahiti were made famous by Brigitte
Bardot in the 1960s. Name the town.
8. Name the *country* that has nude beaches at Sylt, Borkum,
and Wannsee ["VAHN-zay"].
9. In 2002, the City of Toronto recognized part of which beach
as clothing-optional?
10. On which island is Orient Beach?
* Game 1, Round 3 - History - North American Indian War Leaders
As European settlers came to North America and they and their
descendants spread across the continent, wars against the
indigenous people -- the "Indian Wars" -- often followed. These
questions are about some of the indigenous leaders in those wars.
In each case, name the leader described.
1. Immediately after the French and Indian Wars, this Odawa leader
started a new war that is named after him. During it, he laid
siege to Ft. Detroit.
2. Like <answer 1>, this Shawnee leader also had a war named for
him, and also laid siege to Ft. Detroit -- but his war was just
before the War of 1812.
3. This Mohawk chief led troops for the British during the American
Revolution, and as a result was granted land in southwestern
Ontario to replace the New York lands his tribe had lost for
supporting the British -- although the British would eventually
rescind most of the grant.
4. After the defeat of George Custer at the Battle of Little
Big Horn, this Hunkpapa Lakota chief fled with his followers
to Saskatchewan. He was eventually assassinated by American
soldiers when he returned to the Standing Rock reservation
in 1890.
5. The primary credit for defeating Custer belongs not to <answer 4>
but to this Lakota war leader, who also had many other victories
in the Indian Wars of the 19th century.
6. This Apache chief led his people first against the Mexican
government in alliance with the American government during the
Mexican-American War, and then with the Americans when they
violated the terms of the treaty they signed with the Apache.
7. This Paiute ["PIE-yoot"] religious leader married Christianity
with his people's traditional beliefs to create the Ghost Dance
movement, which held that performing their dance would eventually
"bring peace and prosperity to all Native Americans -- and make
the white people go away".
8. This Apache leader made war on the United States for almost
four decades before finally being taken prisoner for the last
time in 1886.
9. This Cree leader fought the last major inter-tribal wars on
the Canadian plains when he led the Cree against the Blackfoot,
and resisted signing a treaty with the Canadian government
longer than most other leaders.
10. This Métis chief led the Métis forces during the North-West
Rebellion and was credited with their victory at the Battle of
Fish Creek.

Yes, that is the same Wannsee where the top Nazis once met to plan
how to most efficiently conduct their genocide; it's a lake and
