These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04,
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 10-12 days.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 7 - History
* Structural Disasters
1. In 1919 in Boston, a 50-foot-high steel tank ruptured,
unleashing a flash flood of *which substance* that engulfed
and killed 21 people and injured more than 150?
2. When two walkways at the Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed onto
a tea dance in 1981, killing 114 people and injuring 216, it
was the deadliest structural failure of a building up to then
in the United States. In what city did it occur?
3. In 1984 thousands of people were killed and hundreds injured
when a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, leaked toxic gas and
chemicals into the air. Name the US chemical company whose
subsidiary operated the plant.
* Formerly CIA
4. Name the ex-CIA agent who wrote spy novels and was convicted
of organizing the break-in at the Democratic Party office in
the Watergate complex in 1972.
5. Who became the first civilian director of the CIA? He was
also the brother of the Secretary of State at the time, and
their surname will suffice.
6. In the early 1960s, Russia shot down a CIA U2 spy plane over
Soviet airspace. Name the US president who falsely denied the
plane's mission, resulting in a canceled summit meeting in Paris.
* Conflicts
In each case, name the battle described.
7. This was a decisive defeat for Napoleon in the fall of 1813.
It involved separate Russian, Swedish, Prussian, and Austrian
forces acting in coordination.
8. During this battle of the War of 1812, the Americans initially
had success after crossing the Niagara River, but ultimately
had to surrender.
9. This 1898 battle occurred on the southern coast of Cuba during
the Spanish-American War, and included the participation of
Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders".

* Crusades in Europe
Crusaders weren't only sent to battle Muslims in the eastern
Mediterranean lands. They also fought pagans and heretics in
Europe.
13. Between 1420 and 1432, five unsuccessful crusades were launched
against this Czech heresy, whose leader was burned at the stake
in 1415. Name the heretical group.

a heresy in the French region of Languedoc that lasted two
decades. Give either of the two names this group of heretics
was called by.
15. Throughout the 13th and 14th centuries, this military

President James Buchanan. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Marc,

Abraham Lincoln, of course, had been elected president in 1860, but
in those days the presidency did not change hands until the following
March -- hence the cartoon's reference to "till I get out of office".

Cathars, Albigensians. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, and Erland.
They believed that all material things were created by an evil god
(or we might say the devil) and are therefore evil. Including things
like, oh, everybody's bodies and, well, churches.
