From: msb@vex.net (Mark Brader)
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-01-24,
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 2011-05-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 2, Round 4 - Unsportsmanlike Conduct
1. Name the American cyclist who was stripped of his 2006 Tour
de France title after a positive drug test. He alleged that
Lance Armstrong was also doping.
2. This American sprinter forfeited her five medals from the
2000 Sydney Olympics after later testing positive for banned
substances. She has since started a pro basketball career
in the WNBA.
3. Name *either* player involved in the infamous broken-bat
incident in the second game of the 2000 World Series.
The Yankees' starting pitcher hurled the broken barrel of
a bat at his opponent from the Mets, narrowly missing him
with the jagged edge.
4. In 2005, this former Oakland A's slugger published his book
"Juiced". In it, he claims he injected several ballplayers,
including Mark McGwire, with steroids.
5. Name the pairs figure skaters from Canada who were belatedly
awarded gold medals for their performance at the 2002 Salt
Lake City Olympics. The upgrade followed the discovery
of a fixing scandal involving the French judge. We need
*both* names. (As usual, surnames will do.)
6. Name the two female figure skaters forever joined together
by the notorious knee-clubbing incident at the US Olympic
trials of 1994. Again, *both* names please.
7. What former NHL enforcer's memoir, "Tough Guy", was released
shortly after his death in 2010?
8. Workplace sexual harassment charges hounded this quarterback
after he allegedly sent suggestive text messages and sexually
explicit photos of himself to a New York Jets employee.
9. Name *either* soccer player involved in the momentous 2006
World Cup head-butting incident.
10. After being booed for committing a fielding error, George
Bell told the press that the Toronto fans could kiss his what?
The answer is two words.
* Game 2, Round 6 - One of These Things is Not Like the Others

10. This final question is about the British monarchy --

Okay, Rotating Quiz #21 is done.
In designing this one, I could only come up with 9 questions that
fitted the secret theme, because it wasn't until several days
later that I realized I could've asked "In what territory was
Friday, October 6, 1867, directly followed by Friday, October 18?"
(And some of them were pretty hard, too. Sorry about that.)
Now, the last question (a variation on one posted by Ken Jennings
on his web site a while back) required a 2-part answer and also
required identifying the secret theme. (Or at least, it was
*supposed* to -- two entrants apparently got it right *without*
managing to getting the theme!) So I decided it was appropriate
to allow 2 points for this one, making the scores below out of 10.
I also decided not to penalize entrants who gave an otherwise correct
answer if they gave it in a form like "Tampa Bay, Florida" instead of
the correctly thematic "Tampa Bay".
So:
> 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.
AL WAXMAN. 1 for Stephen.
> 2. He was born in the same country as Leslie Nielsen (1926-2010).
> What country was that?
CANADA. 1 for Marc, John, and Stephen.
> 3. What transportation facility opened on August 15, 1914?
PANAMA CANAL. 1 for David, Stephen, and Rob.
> 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?
AA. 1 for Stephen and Dan.
> 5. What geographical area is home to the Rays and the Lightning?
TAMPA BAY. 1 for Marc, Stephen, Jeff, and Dan.
> 6. What prize is given annually by the NHL to the best head coach
> of the year?
JACK ADAMS AWARD.
> 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?
GRAWP. 1 for Stephen.
> 8. Speaking of animation, what was the title of the 2005 movie about
> four zoo animals who are shipped from New York to Africa?
MADAGASCAR. 1 for Erland, Marc, Stephen, Rob, Jeff, and Björn.
> 9. Name the tourist attraction, *and* the city in India where it is
> located, that fit the pattern of the quiz.
TAJ MAJAL, AGRA. 2 for Erland, Stephen, Rob, Jeff, and Dan.
Scores, if there are no errors:
Stephen Perry 9
Dan Tilque 4
Rob Parker 4
Jeff Turner 4
Marc Dashevsky 3
Erland Sommarskog 3
Björn Lundin 1
John Masters 1
"David" 1
So we rotate, with a decisive thump, right back to Stephen Perry for
Quiz #22. Congratulations, Mr. Perry! (Posted and emailed.)
(If for any reason Stephen is unable to complete his reign, I leave
it up to the three second-place finishers to decide between them who
should take over.)

No doubt that was the easiest question in the quiz. Maybe I should
have spotted Tampa Bay.
But this theme is really secret. You still have not revealed it! (The one
you had in #19b was pretty obvious, but I had a difficult Job to understand
the theme in the original #19, and I never managed to crack it.)
