That was the Adams round.
> * Game 4, Round 4 - The Adams Family (with one D)

> Adams, and you must give the applicable given name or names.
> 1. The first two US presidents to be father and son. Name both.
John and John Quincy. 4 for Joshua, Peter, Dan Blum, Marc, Calvin,

Samuel. (A brewer; a brand of beer is named after him.) 4 for
Joshua, Dan Blum, Marc, Stephen, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
> 4. Turning to a different group opposed to British rule, this
> man is the president of Sinn F�in ("shin fane").
Gerry. 4 for Joshua, Joachim, Peter, Dan Blum, Marc, Calvin, Stephen,
Rob, and Pete.
> 5. He created Dilbert.
Scott. 4 for everyone (yea for Scott Adams!) -- Joshua, Joachim,
Peter, Dan Blum, Marc, Calvin, Stephen, Rob, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
> 6. He created "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
Douglas. 4 for Joachim, Peter, Dan Blum, Marc, Calvin, Stephen,
Rob, Dan Tilque, and Pete.

> * Game 4, Round 6 - US History, Mostly Bloody
> 1. The American Civil War began with the bombardment of
> Fort Sumter in 1861 and ended, for all practical purposes,
> with Robert E. Lee's surrender in the same month of 1865.

April. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Marc, Stephen, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
3 for Calvin.
> 2. Which Indian (okay, which Native American) holy man joined
> Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in 1884?
Sitting Bull. We also accepted Black Elk on a protest; the 1884
date given for Sitting Bull may not be exactly right, and Black
Elk actually joined the show only a little later. 4 for Joshua,
Stephen, and Dan Tilque. 3 for Dan Blum.
> 3. In 1859 Civil War General Daniel Sickles became the first man
> in the US (and perhaps the world) to be acquitted of murder

and Dan Tilque.

> 5. On February 15, 1933, Giuseppe Zangara tried to assassinate
> President-elect Franklin Roosevelt, during a Florida speech,

> people instead. One of them was a prominent politician who
> died 19 days later. Name him or the specific office he held.
Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago. 4 for Joshua, Marc, Stephen,
and Pete.
And this is why I said "Dang, I should've remembered Cermak"
last week in connection with Rotating Quiz #24 by Pete Gayde.
By the way, the justice system was a bit faster in 1933: Zangara
was executed just 15 days after Roosevelt's inauguration, the last
one held on the old date of March 5.
> 6. In 1846-47 a wagon train of 300 people set out for California
> from Independence, Missouri. In Wyoming, 86 members of the
> group split away from the others to take a little-used route.
> They were beset by disaster after disaster, leading to
> murder and cannibalism, and 36 of them died. This group,
> named after one of the families, is known to history as what?
The Donner Party. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Marc, Stephen,
and Dan Tilque. 3 for Pete.
> 7. During the Civil War, on August 21, 1863, a party of about

> to 250 men and boys, robbed the bank, and burned the town.
> This attack has been portrayed in several movies, including
> "Dark Command" (1940), "Ride With the Devil" (1999), and
> one whose title mentioned the leader of this raiding party.
> What was his name?
William Clarke Quantrill. (Anything close was acceptable, as some
of the movies changed his name slightly.) 4 for Dan Blum and Stephen.
> 8. Billy the Kid became involved in a conflict in New Mexico
> pitting two factions against each other. After his boss
> was murdered, the Kid went on a revenge killing spree.
> By what name has this conflict become known to history?
> Hint: it mentions the location.
Lincoln County War. 4 for Stephen.
> 9. Who were Robert LeRoy Parker and Harry Longbaugh better
> known as?
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Marc,
Calvin, Stephen, Rob, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
> 10. Judge Roy Bean, the self-proclaimed "Law west of the Pecos",

From: msb@vex.net (Mark Brader)
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-02-07,
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 did not write either of these rounds.
* Game 4, Round 7 - Things that Make You Sick
For each disease we name, pick the item from the following list
that explains what you would likely get it from. Note that we
mean this in the broadest sense: for example, correct answers
might include both infectious organisms and their vectors, among
other things. You can only give answers that are on the list,
even if some others might also be correct. On the other hand,
some questions may have more than one correct answer on the list;
in that case you can give any one.
Aedes mosquitoes
Aerosols (exhaled droplets)
Animal droppings
Anopheles mosquitoes
Asbestos
Genetic defect
Fleas
Fungus
Head injury
Immune system response
Iron deficiency
Justin Bieber
Lice
Nitrosamines
Prions
Protozoa
Ritual cannibalism and related procedures
Rodent bites
Sand flies
Snails
Stroke
Ticks
Tse-tse flies
Untreated water
Vitamin A deficiency
Vitamin B1 (thiamin or thiamine) deficiency
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) deficiency
Vitamin B3 (niacin) deficiency
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency
1. Candidiasis.
2. Giardiasis (or beaver fever).
3. Pellagra.
4. Guillain-Barré syndrome.
5. Kuru.
6. Beriberi.
7. Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
8. Bilharzia (or schistosomiasis).
9. Mesothelioma.
10. Phenylketonuria (or PKU).
* Game 4, Round 8 - The Play's the Thing!
For each question we will read a passage from Shakespeare, and
you simply have to name the play.
1. Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made...
2. If music be the food of love, play on.
3. Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a colossus; and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs, and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
4. How like a fawning publican he looks!
I hate him for he is a Christian...
5. She loved me for the dangers I had passed,
And I loved her that she did pity them.
6. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety.
7. Lord, what fools these mortals be!
8. Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
9. Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this "sun" of York
10. How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
to have a thankless child!
