These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-04-02,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
** Game 10, Round 9 - Geography - Small US Colleges
The following are small (or at least relatively small) but
well-known colleges in the United States. In each case, we give
you the name, and you just name the *state* where the main campus
is located.
1. Marquette.
2. Marshall.
3. Morehead State.
4. Oberlin.
5. Northwestern University.
6. Bryn Mawr College.
7. Hofstra.
8. Gonzaga University.
9. Duke University.
10. Seton Hall.
** Game 10, Round 10 - Challenge Round
* A. April Observances
A1. What saint is celebrated on April 23, the traditionally
accepted date of his death in 303?
A2. This civic holiday, held on the third Monday in April,
commemorates the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and
Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War.
The Boston Marathon is run on this holiday.
* B. Old-Time Boxing
B1. Who was Jack Dempsey's opponent in the 1926 title fight
that became known as the "Long Count"?
B2. He was the World Heavyweight Champion from September 1952 to
April 1956 and is the only champion to hold the heavyweight
title and go untied and undefeated throughout his career.
Name him.
* C. Gross Food
C1. Which culinary term refers to the entrails and internal
organs of a butchered animal?
C2. This cheese originated during the 19th century in an
area of Europe which is now divided between Belgium, Germany,
and the Netherlands. The cheese is especially known for
its pungent odor, commonly compared to body odor.
* D. Famous Diamonds
In each case, name the diamond.
D1. At 46 carats, this fancy dark grayish-blue diamond is
supposedly cursed. It has a long recorded history (with
a few gaps), in which it changed hands numerous times on
its way from India to France to Britain to the United States.
D2. At 3,107 carats, this was the largest rough gem-quality
diamond ever found. It was cut into 105 diamonds, including
the Great Star of Africa and the Lesser Star of Africa,
both of which are now part of the British crown jewels.
* E. Beer
E1. Unlike conventional ales and lagers which are fermented by
carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts, what
type of beer brewed in Belgium is produced by spontaneous
fermentation?
E2. Fans of India Pale Ales often compare such beers by looking
at how many IBUs their favourite beer is rated. What does
the B in IBU stand for?
* F. Box Office Disasters
In each case, name the movie.
F1. This 1987 comedy, starring Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty
as a couple of untalented lounge singers, is synonymous
with the term "box-office flop". It cost $55,000,000 but
only made $15,000,000 at the box office.
F2. This 2002 comedy starred Eddie Murphy as the owner of a
nightclub on the Moon, investigating who was behind the
arson that destroyed it. Directed by Ron Underwood, the
movie grossed $4,000,000 on a $100,000,000 budget.
