Actually, that's not what I did. I chose the theme/format and picked
one question to start with, then when I knew how many entrants there
were, I drafted the other 9 questions and randomized the order. And
by the way, for quite a few of the questions, if someone else had set
the same contest I did, Stephen would have outscored me -- as quizmaster
I had the privilege of looking things up.

In 2012, "Calvin" posted a series of three knockout contests,
one each on the theme of sports, history, and science; and last
year I did one on the theme of geography.

Now it's my turn. I will be switching categories as we go, but all of the
answers will be either a date, a part of a date, an age, a height, or some
other numerical answer. I have prepared a list of 10 questions to start, and
will add more if necessary. The answers are straight forward and there are
no 'trick' answers.

For Round 1, per custom, I'll accept entries for 6 days from the moment
of posting (that is, until about 10:45 pm EDT on Monday, February 2nd)
OR until there is a period of 24 hours without a new entry.
WHICHEVER COMES FIRST!

The deadline for later rounds will be 3 days or when everyone who is still
active has submitted an answer.

After the first round, this becomes a closed contest -- only
those who have survived the earlier rounds may continue to enter.
If everyone gives the exact correct answer on any question,
they all survive, but I don't expect that to happen very much.
Otherwise, the person whose answer is farthest from the correct
answer is eliminated. In case of a tie for farthest, among those
entrants the last to enter is eliminated. "Farthest" will be
measured by difference, not ratio, unless I explicitly indicate
otherwise on a specific question.

*** We will start with a simple "name that year" question:
#1. The National Geographic Society was founded in Washington, D.C.,
on January 27th. What year?
***

Have fun and let's have lots of entries so that there are lots of rounds.

capital letters as a form of penance, despite the proven fact that doing so
has been known to lead to dancing, jocularity, and general frivolity.

but I don't remember a thing about it.)

Including an "I" in the lead paragraph. But that's all right, you can

Never heard of them, but judging from the name it must have been after

For that matter, "Washington, D.C." makes it after 1776.

RQ #128

ANSWERS
Second-largest lake by area on each continent. (Largest is in parentheses)
May have fresh water or salt water; Caspian Sea is a sea, not a lake.
Also excluded are lakes that exist as a result of human construction.
1. Asia: Balkhesh (Baikal)
2. Africa: Tanganyika (Victoria)
3. North America: Huron (Superior)
4. South America: Titicaca (Maracaibo, sometimes considered a bay, but historically it's a lake)
5. Antarctica: Vostok [largest lake]
6. Europe: Onega (Ladoga)
7. Australia: I have excluded Australia because some of the lakes considered
to be the largest are ephemeral, filling only during the rainy season. There
is lots of room for disagreement, and I found no authority in which I was
confident.

Second-highest mountain on each continent. (Highest is in parentheses)
1. Asia: K2 (Everest)
2. Africa: Kenya (Kilimanjaro)
3. North America: Logan (Denali)
4. South America: Alpamayo (Aconcagua)
5. Antarctica: Tyree (Vinson Massif)
6. Europe: Dykh-Tau (Elbrus)
7. Australia: Townsend (Kosciuszko)

I do not know which Caucasus mountains are on which side of the continental
divide so I accepted Mt. Blanc as well as Dykh-Tau.

Since it's so completely embarrassing missing Onega, I rather sink
through a hole. But nevertheless - I had Mount Kenya for M2.

In order to get a decent turnout, you have to ask at least some
questions where lots of people will be expected to know the answers. If
someone doesn't know any answers at all (as happened to me in a couple
recent Rotating Quizzes) they aren't going to enter. If they only know
one answer, they probably won't enter, either.
