Pete? Anyone seen Pete lately?
If Pete does not wake up after this post, it seems that Mark is next in

I emailed Peter, and got this response:
I am on vacation now and haven't looked at rec.games.trivia for many
days, so I was unaware that I had won. I won't be able to fulfill my
responsibility until at least July 16. What are the possibilities?
The quiz could go on hiatus until I return, or the 2nd placed
participant could write the next quiz. I don't think there's a
precedent for this situation.
I guess it's up to Mark.

Please post your answers in a followup in this thread (quoting the
question before each one), based only on your own knowledge. You
have until Saturday, July 9, by Toronto time -- that is, from the
time of posting you have a couple of hours less than 5 days.
1. This actor, who lived 1935-2001, played Lt. Samuels on the TV series
"Cagney & Lacey" and Larry King on the series "King of Kensington".
Give his first and last name.
2. He was born in the same country as Leslie Nielsen (1926-2010).
What country was that?
3. What transportation facility opened on August 15, 1914?
4. The Hawaiian language has given us two words for the rocks formed
when lava cools. If they are smooth and ropy, that's "pahoehoe".
What is the word if they are rough and blocky?
5. What geographical area is home to the Rays and the Lightning?
6. What prize is given annually by the NHL to the best head coach
of the year?
7. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", we learn that Hagrid
has a half-brother with an even shorter name; Tony Maudsley played
him in the movie, to the extent that any human did. What is that
half-brother's name?
8. Speaking of animation, what was the title of the 2005 movie about
four zoo animals who are shipped from New York to Africa?
9. Name the tourist attraction, *and* the city in India where it is
located, that fit the pattern of the quiz.
