These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-04-04,
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 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 2011-09-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote 2 triples in this round.
* Final, Round 4 - Sports & Leisure
A. Oldest Teams
A1. The oldest team now playing in the CFL was formed about
85 years before the league existed (give or take a bit,
depending on what you count as existing). Of course, in
those days what they played was rugby. What team is this?
(The city or the team name will do.)
A2. The first openly professional baseball team was formed
about 7 years before the National League existed.
There is some dispute as to which present-day team should
be considered their successor, so we'll just ask you to
give their original home city.
A3. The oldest team now playing in the NHL was formed
8 years before the league existed, and originally played
in the National Hockey Association. What team is that?
(City or team name.)
B. The Indianapolis 500
B1. The first time a woman ever took the lead during the
Indy 500 was in 2005. She led the field for 19 laps
that year, but finished 4th. Name the driver.
B2. The race takes place annually during what American
holiday weekend?
B3. What beverage does the winner traditionally drink?
C. The Montreal Expos
C1. Prior to 1977, what was the Montreal Expos' home stadium?
C2. What Expos pitcher won the 1997 National League Cy
Young Award?
C3. The Expos franchise was bought out by the Major League
Baseball organization itself, and after the 2004 season
they moved it -- to what city?
D. Monopoly
The classic version of Monopoly produced by Parker Brothers has a
board based on Atlantic City, New Jersey, and this is the one we're
asking about.
D1. The first three railroads as you go around the board are
former real-life railroad companies with "railroad" in
their name, but neither of these things is true of the
fourth one, next to Pennsylvania Av. What's it called?
D2. What is the most expensive property?
D3. What is the cheapest property?
E. Mixed Martial Arts
E1. What do the letters "UFC" stand for in the name of
the popular organization that promotes mixed-martial-arts
championships?
E2. As seen from above, the enclosed cage in which UFC fights
take place has what geometrical shape?
E3. What Canadian-born fighter will defend his welterweight
championship belt in the main event of UFC 129 in Toronto?
