These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-10-26,
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.
All questions were written by members of the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 5, Round 4 - Science - Auto Trivia
1. Enzo Ferrari and his wife had one son, Alfredo "Alfredino"
Ferrari, who suffered from ill-health and died in 1956 at age 24.
In 1968, Ferrari launched a lower-priced, "affordable" sports
car named in his honor. What was the new car called?
2. Henry Ford's only son died in 1943 at age 46. In 1958, Ford
introduced a car named in his honor. It was a huge failure
and was sold for just 3 years. What was the name of the son
and the car?
3. This man founded a car company in 1897, but left following a
disagreement. He then founded another company, REO, which built
cars until World War II, and trucks (such as the REO Speedwagon)
until the 1950s. His original company was eventually acquired
by General Motors, which discontinued the brand in 2004.
What was the his name?
4. The British Mini was first marketed in 1959 under *both* of
BMC's main brands. One version was sold as the Austin Seven;
the other was the Mini Minor -- sold under what brand name?
5. This French car-maker was arrested by the new provisional French
government in 1944, accused of collaborating with the Germans.
He was incarcerated at Fresnes Prison, where he died under
unclear circumstances on October 24 that year. What was
his name?
6. Two German automotive pioneers each founded companies that bore
their names, one in 1883 and the other in 1890. One of the
men died in 1900. In 1926 their two companies merged, and so
their names are joined to this day -- even though the two of
them never met. What are their names?
7. This Japanese motor company was founded by a man with whose
name differs from the company's by one letter. Give either name.
8. Which Italian car company incorporates its city, Turin, in
its name?
9. This English motoring and aviation pioneer became the first
Briton to be killed in an aeronautical accident to a powered
aircraft, when the tail of his Wright Flyer broke off during
a flying display in the Southbourne district of Bournemouth,
England. He was 32. What was his name, now synonymous with
luxury?
10. Which American auto brand is named for a Swiss-born American
race car driver of French descent?
* Game 5, Round 6 - Leisure - Board Games
Please see the handout
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/5-6/games.jpg
and, in each case, simply name the board game some of whose
components are illustrated.

which you can name if you like for fun, but for no points.

Not that it matters, but wasn't the Speedwagon a bus?

Dino. 4 for Bruce and Stephen.
Alfa Romeo was a popular wrong answer. That's actually an older
brand than Ferrari, going back to 1920, and Enzo Ferrari used to
race their cars before he started manufacturing his own.

If Wikipedia is correct, the Mini Cooper was a "high-performance"
variant of the Mini introduced by both Austin and Morris in 1961
and named after one of its designers.

Karl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Bruce,
Dan Tilque, Erland, Pete, Björn, Stephen, and ArenEss.
Mercedes was a popular wrong answer. That's a woman's first name, not
a man's name. If Wikipedia is correct, the relevant Mercedes was the
daughter of Emil Jelinek, to whose specification the Daimler company
designed the original car of that name.

Kiichiro Toyoda, Toyota. 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, Erland, Pete,
Stephen, and ArenEss (the hard way). 3 for Dan Blum.
> 8. Which Italian car company incorporates its city, Turin, in

Fiat (acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino). 4 for Joe,
Erland, Pete, Björn, Calvin, Marc, and ArenEss.
The Gran Torino was indeed named after Turin as well, but it was
not an Italian company; it was a Ford model line.

Chevrolet (after Louis-Joseph Chevrolet). 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua,

Alfa Romeo was a popular wrong answer. That's actually an older
brand than Ferrari, going back to 1920, and Enzo Ferrari used to
race their cars before he started manufacturing his own.

Stephen, Calvin, and ArenEss.
If Wikipedia is correct, the Mini Cooper was a "high-performance"
variant of the Mini introduced by both Austin and Morris in 1961
and named after one of its designers.

Dan Tilque, Erland, Pete, Björn, Stephen, and ArenEss.
Mercedes was a popular wrong answer. That's a woman's first name, not
a man's name. If Wikipedia is correct, the relevant Mercedes was the
daughter of Emil Jelinek, to whose specification the Daimler company
designed the original car of that name.

Erland, Pete, Björn, Calvin, Marc, and ArenEss.
The Gran Torino was indeed named after Turin as well, but it was
not an Italian company; it was a Ford model line.

now, I see that I was right. Apparently there was a Turinelli company at
one time, but it was based in Milan and named after its founder.
