These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-01-21,
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. (Not 4 any more.
I was trying to stretch out the last season I did so it would last
approximately until the start of this one.)
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 recent companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 2 - Entertainment - Cats and Dogs
These are songs whose titles each contain either the word "Cat"
or the word "Dog". We'll tell you which one and we'll give you
the year, the artist or group, and a line or two from the lyrics.
You give the full title.
1. "Dog", 1974, David Bowie.
This ain't no rock and roll,
This is genocide.
2. "Cat", 1972, Elton John.
Better get back to the woods.
3. "Cat", 1977, Ted Nugent.
When they need their lovin' man,
They know I do it for free.
4. "Dog", 1953, Big Mama Thornton. There was also a cover version
in 1956.
You ain't no real cool cat
And you ain't no friend of mine.
5. "Dog", 1971, Led Zeppelin.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah ah ah ah.
6. "Cat", 1982 and 1983, David Bowie.
I've been putting out fire with gasoline.
7. "Cat", 1974, Harry Chapin.
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon.
8. "Dog", 1969, the Stooges.
I'll lay right down in my favorite place.
9. "Cat", 1976, Al Stewart.
On a morning from a Bogart movie.
10. "Cat", 1979, Squeeze.
The Indians send signals from
The roads above the pass.
* Game 1, Round 3 - Science - The Apollo Space Program
(With apologies to those who think it never happened.)
1. Three astronauts died tragically aboard "Apollo 1" as a result
of a fire on a pre-flight test. Name any one of them.
2. What was the name of the principal rocket used for the Apollo
program?
3. Name the astronaut who commanded Apollo 13 and was also a member
of the Apollo 8 mission, the first to send men to the vicinity
of the Moon?
4. How many Apollo missions actually landed men on the moon?
5. The last three Apollo missions -- Apollo 15 through 17 --
carried *what* to make the exploration of the Moon easier for
the astronauts?
6. Harrison Schmidt was one of the astronauts who landed on the
Moon in Apollo 17, the last Apollo mission. Which area of
science, relevant to the exploration of the Moon, was he
trained in?
7. In what year, exactly, was Apollo 17 launched?
8. Apollo 12 was the second mission to land men on the Moon,
in November 1969. It visited a previous unmanned space probe.
The probe was number 3 in *which series* launched by the US to
the Moon?
9. Apollo 11 was the first mission to land men on the Moon.
At the same time the Soviet Union launched an unmanned space
probe, Lunik 15, which was unsuccessful. Other than propaganda,
what was its intended purpose?
10. Two Apollo manned missions took place entirely in Earth orbit
and did not go near the Moon. Name either one.

Apollo 7 and 9. 4 for Don. 3 for Bruce.
At the time of the fatal fire, the numbering of the Apollo missions
had not been positively settled, and the name Apollo 1 was applied
retrospectively by way of a memorial. By the time the program started
again after the fire, they were ready to skip the numbers to Apollo 4,
and the first 6 missions then were:
Apollo 4 - Saturn V rocket launched with a Command/Service Module (CSM),
unmanned. First test of Saturn V launch and third-stage restart. Test
of CSM functions.
Apollo 5 - Saturn I-B rocket launched with a Lunar Module (LM), unmanned.
Test of LM functions conducted in Earth orbit.
Apollo 6 - Saturn V launched with a CSM and LM, unmanned. Further testing
of functions.
Apollo 7 - Saturn I-B launched with a CSM. First manned flight of CSM,
testing functions and maneuvering.
Apollo 8 - Saturn V launched with a CSM. First manned flight of the
Saturn V, and first manned flight to lunar orbit.
Apollo 9 - Saturn I-B launched with a CSM and LM. First manned testing
of the LM in orbit, including the maneuvers that would be needed for the
actual landing.
Apollo 10 - Saturn V launched with a CSM and LM. As mentioned up on
"Jeopardy!" the day after the original game, this one was Apollo 11's
"dress rehearsal", doing all the steps except the actual landing;
they put the LM into a descent trajectory toward the Moon, then
aborted the descent and returned to orbit.
Apollo 11 through 17, of course, were the lunar-landing missions, all
using the Saturn V, with Apollo 13 aborted due to an accident and the
other six successful.
