These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-02-02,
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 MI5, 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 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 7 - Science - Human Organs
For this round we will give you the name of a human organ, and
you will identify its number on the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/4-7/organ.jpg
Note: The correct answers are all numeric. Four callouts on the
diagram were unlabeled in the original game; I've added letters
A-D for the benefit of people who want to play the decoys.
1. Stomach.
2. Appendix.
3. Ureter.
4. Trachea.
5. (Urinary) bladder.
6. Liver.
7. Pancreas.
8. Thyroid.
9. Spleen.
10. Gall bladder.
So there were 13 decoys. If you like, decode the rot13 and name the
organs for fun, but for no points. Answers may repeat.
11. N.
12. O.
13. P.
14. Q.
15. Rvtugrra.
16. Ryrira.
17. Avargrra.
18. Friragrra.
19. Fvk.
20. Gjryir.
21. Gra.
22. Guerr.
23. Guvegrra.
* Game 4, Round 8 - Literature - Name That Poet
We'll quote some famous lines of poetry; you tell us who wrote them.
1. I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils.
2. Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
3. If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man my son!
4. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
5. O Captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won.
6. If I should die, think only this of me;
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England.
7. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
Of things unknown but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hill
For the caged bird sings of freedom.
8. This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
9. Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are born to Sweet Delight,
Some are born to Endless Night.
10. Look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight;
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way!
