These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-03-28,
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 both of these rounds, if you count adapting sporcle.com's
quiz as writing.
* Game 10, Round 4 - Multi-Sport Athletes
The Toronto Argonauts are so named because the team was formed
by rowers who played rugby in the off-season. Therefore, as a
Torontonian, you should be familiar with athletes who are known for
more than one sport. There won't be any Canadians in this round,
though, because the questions are based on a set from the web site
sporcle.com, which happened not to include any. In all cases,
name the athlete.
1. She won five tennis Grand Slam events from 1956 to 1958,
and in 1963 she became the first black LPGA golfer.
2. This Native American was a Pro Football Hall of Famer,
and the 1912 Olympic champion in decathlon and pentathlon.
3. He was a Heisman-winning running back, a #1 pick in the NFL
draft, and an All-Star outfielder for the Kansas City Royals.
4. Nicknamed "Prime Time", he was a 9-time Pro Bowl cornerback
and a Major League Baseball outfielder.
5. In the Olympics he won 5 gold medals in swimming and a bronze
in water polo. He later played Tarzan in 12 movies.
6. He played for the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Cubs.
He later starred on the TV western series "The Rifleman".
7. She was an Olympic gold-medal-winning track star who also
won ten LPGA golf majors and was a basketball All-American.
8. This female track star was stripped of five medals from the
2000 Olympics, and now plays in the WNBA.
9. He was an all-time great shooting guard with the Chicago
Bulls, and played minor league baseball in between NBA stints.
10. This infamous Olympic figure skater went 3-and-3 as a
professional boxer in 2003 and 2004.
* Game 10, Round 6 - Multi-Talented Families
On each question we will describe two relatives who achieved their
greatest fame and/or success in two different fields, although in
some cases they may have done some work in the same field as well.
All you need to give is the surname; or if they have different
surnames, we'll say so, and in that case either name will do.
1. They were born in England. The older sister, born 1933,
is a stage, film, and TV actress who was nominated for an
Emmy in the '80s; the younger sister, born 1937, is the
bestselling author of more than 20 novels.
2. They are first cousins with the same surname, born in the US.
The woman, born 1931, is an Oscar-winning actress; the man,
born 1933, was twice elected governor of his state before
entering federal politics.
3. They were born in the US. The father, who lived 1884-1972,
was President. The daughter, who lived 1924-2008, was a
singer, a TV personality, and a writer of mystery novels
and non-fiction.
4. They were first cousins with different surnames. The older
man was born in India and lived 1865-1936, and won the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1907. The younger man was born in
England and lived 1867-1947, and was Prime Minister with
the Conservative Party. Give either surname.
5. They were born in the US. The aunt lived 1928-2002 and was
a singer that you would have heard in tonight's audio round
if we hadn't decided to put her into this round instead.
The nephew was born in 1961 and is an Oscar-winning and
Emmy-nominated actor as well as a movie director. (Okay,
I'll tell you that the audio round was on female singers
best known for their work in the 1940s and '50s.)
6. They were born in France. The father, who lived 1841-1919,
was an impressionist painter; the son, 1894-1979, an
Oscar-nominated movie director.
7. They were born in England. The older brother, born 1923,
is a stage and screen actor and Oscar-winning director.
The younger brother, born 1926, is a naturalist and TV host.
8. They were born in Canada. The older brother, who lived
1924-2008, was a cabinet member with the Progressive
Conservatives. The younger brother, 1926-2010, was an actor
remembered mainly for his comedy work.
9. They were born in the US. The father, who lived 1944-2004,
was a pitcher for the New York Mets and the Philadelphia
Phillies. The son, born 1967, sings country music, sometimes
together with his wife.
10. The grandfather was born in Scotland and lived 1904-86.
In Canada, he became a provincial premier before entering
federal politics. The grandson, with a different surname,
was born in England in 1966 and is an Emmy-winning actor.
Give either surname.
