These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-10-20,
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.
All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe, 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 2014-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 5, Round 4 - Literature - Shakespeare, for Openers.
Name the plays from which these opening lines of the Bard originate
-- or get thee to a nunnery!
1. When shall we three meet again,
In thunder, lightning or in rain?
2. Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York.
3. Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene.
4. Tush! Never tell me, I take it much unkindly
That thou, Iago, who hast my purse
As if the strings were thine, shouldst know of this.
5. Boatswain!
6. If music be the food of love, play on.
7. In Troy, there lies the scene.
8. In delivering my son from me, I bury a second husband.
9. I wonder how the King escaped our hands?
10. Noble patricians, patrons of my right,
Defend the justice of my cause with arms;
And, countrymen, my loving followers,
Plead my successive title with your swords.
I am his first born son that was the last
That ware the imperial diadem of Rome.
* Game 5, Round 6 - Canadiana - Canadian Arcana
What does it mean to be Canadian? Our country's greatest minds
have wrestled with this question for ages, when they should have
been doing something useful with their time. Anyway, here are
10 questions about things that are pointedly Canadian.
1. This drink was invented in 1969 by Walter Chell of the Calgary
Inn, who reasoned from the Italian dish spaghetti alle vongole
that clams and tomato sauce might make a good drink. Name it.
2. Canadian tennis players call this variation of the game
California doubles or cutthroat doubles. Americans call it
Canadian doubles. How is it played?
3. It's considered the consummate Canadian dessert item, although
some Americans claim it's simply a pecan pie without the pecans.
What is it?
4. Also made in Canada, this candy bar consists of alternating
layers of vanilla wafer and a coffee-flavored soft candy,
covered with milk chocolate. What is it?
5. Though it sounds French, we actually share this term for a paper
product with the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
What is supposedly the proper Canadian way to refer to what
the Americans call a "napkin"?
6. What is it supposed to mean when you order a double-double
coffee, eh?
7. Americans may go to the concession counter to order a soda.
What palindrome do Canadians typically use in the same situation?
8. No, Walt, it's not a copyright infringement. What is the proper
Canadian term for a 375 ml bottle of hard liquor?
9. President Obama consumed one of these fried-dough treats during
his visit to Ottawa in 2009. They are named for their
resemblance to a large rodent's body part.
10. The American English Oxford dictionary defines this as
a "foolish or uncultivated person", and cites it as a term
"popularized by characters on the Canadian television show SCTV".
