QFTCI11 Game 1 Rounds 9-10: player #'s, challenge round
Mark Brader
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. For further information see
my 2011-05-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 1, Round 9 - Athletes' Numbers
We'll give you the names of two athletes who wore the same number.
You tell us which number.
1. Guy Lafleur and Pel�.
2. Magic Johnson and O.J. Simpson.
3. Michael Jordan and Ryne Sandberg.
4. Hank Aaron and Jerry West.
5. Bobby Orr and Lou Gehrig.
6. Warren Moon and Johnny Bower.
7. Troy Aikman and Cal Ripken Jr.
8. Dale Earnhardt Sr. (okay, technically it's his car's number,
but he did wear it on his driver's suit) and Babe Ruth.
9. Patrick Roy ("rwah" -- or "roy", if you're Don Cherry)
and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
10. Ken Dryden and Eric Dickerson.
* Game 1, Round 10 - Challenge Round
This is the challenge round, and your categories are: Ace, King,
Queen, Jack, Ten, Strait.
A. Ace (History)
A1. A military fighter pilot is usually reckoned to be an
"ace" after shooting down how many enemy planes?
A2. Which ace pilot are two Southern Ontario airports named
after, including one in the Greater Toronto Area?
B. King (Literature)
B1. Stephen King's first novel was published in 1973.
The movie version, with the same title, starred Sissy
Spacek. What was the title?
B2. Stephen King's latest novel, subtitled "Little Sisters
of Eluria", is part of a series. What is the series
title?
C. Queen (Canadiana)
C1. The old Woodbine Racetrack was on Queen St. East.
What was the final name that it went by before it closed?
C2. At one time Toronto had a "Provincial Lunatic Asylum"

which stands for the "Centre for" *what* and *what*?
D. Jack (Entertainment)
D1. Jack Nicholson played J.J. Gittes (rhymes with "cities")
in two movies. The first was Roman Polanski's
"Chinatown". Nicholson directed himself in the 1990
sequel, written by Robert Towne. What was its title?

the first in 1983 and its sequel in 1996. Give the

decathlon at the 2008 Olympics, or the Canadian who won
the same at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
