These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-02,
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 7, Round 9 - Literature - Black Books

All of the books in this round have the word Black in their titles.
For questions #1-4, you just give that title.

correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut.

2. This 1961 work of non-fiction describes the 6-week period during
which author John Howard Griffin passed as a black man traveling
through the segregated states of the southern US.

3. Joseph Boyden's second novel won the 2008 Giller Prize.
The narrator, former bush pilot Will Bird, recounts the events
of the previous year, which led to his being in a coma.

4. This 1985 historical novel by Brian ("BREE-an") Moore is set
in 17th-century New France, and follows a French Jesuit priest
as he travels upriver to repopulate the mission to the Huron
Indians.

For #5-10, name the *author*.

5. Two early novels featuring Detective Harry Bosch are "The Black
Echo" and "The Black Ice".

6. The detective in the novel "Black and Blue" is Inspector
John Rebus.

7. Who wrote the classic children's novel "Black Beauty"?

8. This 19th century author, known for "A Child's Garden of Verses",
also wrote the children's novel "The Black Arrow: A Tale of
the Two Roses".

9. This South African Nobel Prize winner wrote "Beethoven Was
One-Sixteenth Black, and Other Stories".

10. This two-time Booker Prize winner, best known for her historical
novels of 16th-century England, also wrote "Beyond Black",
a 2005 novel about a medium who takes her one-woman psychic
show on the road.


* Game 7, Round 10 - Challenge Round: All Black

A. Black Holes

A1. The mass of a black hole lies in an inner part that is a
point of zero size and infinite density. What is it called?

A2. What is the term for the last distance from which light
can escape the pull of a black hole? Inside it, everything,
including light, must move inward. In layman's terms,
it can be called the point of no return.

B. Quotes from Black African Leaders

In each case, name the, ah, statesman who said the line.

B1. "It's not for me. I tried human flesh and it's too salty
for my taste."

challenge of the Maori people of New Zealand, performed by

E2. In the British Isles, what is another name for black pudding?

F. Black-and-White Photography

In each case, name the photographer.

F1. This photographer was famous for black-and-white shots of
people living on the edges of society. Famous photos include
"Identical Twins" and "Child with a Toy Hand Grenade in
Central Park".

F2. This woman was the first female photographer to work for
"Life" magazine and shot the photo used on the magazine's
first cover. She is well known for her black-and-white
photographs of young black South African miners.
