These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-11,
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.
All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe, 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 4, Round 2 - Science - Constellations
Please see the 2-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/4-2/cons.pdf
Each diagram shows a constellation visible here, represented as
interconnected dots (not to exact scale). The relative size of the
dots indicates the apparent brightness of the stars they represent.
Names are provided for some notable bright stars. In each case,
give the number of the constellation we name.
1. Leo, the Lion.
2. Gemini, the Twins.
3. Canis Major, the Great Dog.
4. Scorpius, the Scorpion.
5. Cygnus, the Swan.
6. Ursa Major, the Great Bear.
7. Orion, the Hunter.
8. Cassiopeia, the Queen.
9. Draco, the Dragon.
10. Ursa Minor, the Little Bear.
So there were 6 decoys. Decode the rot13 if you like and give
the constellation numbers for fun, but for no points.
11. Crefrhf, gur Ureb.
12. Ivetb, gur Ivetva.
13. Ylen, gur Yler.
14. Gnhehf, gur Ohyy.
15. Pncevpbeahf, gur Frn Tbng.
16. Obögrf ("obu-BU-grrm"), gur Ureqfzna.
* Game 4, Round 3 - Entertainment - TV Towns
Given the name of the town, tell us which TV show is/was set there.
1. Quahog, Rhode Island.
2. Pawnee, Indiana.
3. Melonville.
4. Walnut Grove, Minnesota.
5. Bikini Bottom.
6. Cabot Cove, Maine.
7. Stars Hollow, Connecticut.
8. Sunnydale, California.
9. New New York, New York.
10. Bedrock.
