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 4 - Science - All Mixed Up
We give you a list of four items in alphabetical order; you place
them correctly in the order specified in the question.
1. Metric prefixes, smallest first: deca-, kilo-, micro-, nano-.
2. Minerals, softest first according to the Mohs hardness scale:
calcite, corundum, quartz, talc.
3. Gestation periods, shortest first: black rhinoceros, lion,
rabbit, zebra.
4. Wind speeds, slowest first according to the Beaufort scale:
fresh breeze, light air, storm, strong gale.
5. Electromagnetic spectrum, lowest frequency first: AM radio,
microwaves, visible light, X-rays.
6. Geologic time periods, earliest first: Cambrian, Cretaceous,
Devonian, Jurassic.
7. Planets, smallest in diameter first: Jupiter, Mars, Uranus,
Venus.
8. Human blood types (Rh positive and negative are combined),
least common first: A, AB, B, O.
9. Bones in the human body, upward from ground level, when standing
up straight with feet flat on the ground: femur, fibula,
metatarsal, scapula.
10. Computer programming languages, earliest created first: BASIC,
C, FORTRAN, Java.
* Game 9, Round 6 - Literature - Literary Interrogations
Literature is full of questions, many of them rhetorical. While
it could be amusing to debate the answers to such questions as
"Am I my brother's keeper?" your task this evening is to give the
answers (or sometimes the questions) put forward by the authors of
some well-known literary works.
1. "On this home by horror haunted -- tell me truly, I implore:
Is there -- is there balm in Gilead? -- tell me -- tell me
I implore!"
The next line in the poem ends with the one-word answer to
the question. What is this word?
2. According to John Donne, for whom does the bell toll?
3. Who killed Cock Robin?
4. Other than the narrator of the nursery rhyme, how many were
going to St. Ives?
5. According to Christina Rosetti, "who has seen the wind?"
There are two forms of the answer in the poem in question:
give either one, exactly as she wrote it.
6. "God save thee, ancient mariner, from the fiends that plague
thee thus! Why look'st thou so?"
(You may provide the exact line explaining the subject's
distress, or just paraphrase, but be sufficiently specific.)
7. John Keats asked: "Oh what can ail thee, knight at arms, alone
and palely loitering?" Well, the real answer is that he's in
love, but the title of the poem says who with. Name it.
8. This time we'll give you the answer, and you tell us the question,
which happens to form most of the preceding line in the play.
Exact answer required for full points.
"It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."
9. Again we're going to ask for the answer in the form of a question.
This one has at least nine answers, by even a conservative
reckoning. We'll give you three of them, and you tell us the
question that was asked.
"...freely, as men strive for right";
"...purely, as they turn from praise";
"...with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!"
10. In this case we want you to tell us not what the answer is,
but where it can be found, according to the author. And the
question is:
"How many times must a man look up, before he can see the sky?"

5. Electromagnetic spectrum, lowest frequency first: AM radio,
microwaves, visible light, X-rays.
6. Geologic time periods, earliest first: Cambrian, Cretaceous,
Devonian, Jurassic.
7. Planets, smallest in diameter first: Jupiter, Mars, Uranus,

AB, B, A, O. 4 for Joshua. 3 for Dan Blum.
There is regional variation; in particular, B is more common than A
in parts of eastern Asia. But the worldwide answer is the same as
the local answer for Toronto, so it's the only acceptable one.

Metatarsal (in the foot), fibula (lower leg), femur (upper leg),
scapula (shoulder area). 4 for Dan Tilque.
In 2008 one entrant listed the bones in reverse order and later
commented:
|| Y'know, there are days when I'm just too stupid to be allowed to
|| tie my own shoes...
To which I responded:
| Well, I can see how it would be difficult to tie them if you had
| the femur placed below the fibula...

FORTRAN, BASIC, C, Java. 4 for Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Erland.
2 for Dan Blum.
1954, 1964, 1972, 1991 respectively.

(Quoth the Raven) "Nevermore". (Edgar Allan Poe.) 4 for Joshua
and Dan Blum.
> 2. According to John Donne, for whom does the bell toll?
(It tolls) for thee. ("You" was acceptable, as a paraphrase.)
4 for Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Dan Blum.
> 3. Who killed Cock Robin?
The sparrow. 4 for Dan Blum.
In 2008 one entrant tried "I did", but that entrant was not the
sparrow, so it was not acceptable.

0. 4 for Joshua and Dan Blum.
Yes, there are also interpretations that give answers around 2,800,
but there's no reason to believe whose were what was intended.

I was wondering when Pete Gayde was going to show up. Now if Stephen
Perry would just come back and resume whomping the field...
If Pete's answers had been on time, he would have had scored 7 points
on Round 4 and 8 on Round 6, for a total of 47 so far.
