| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jun 22 11:02PM -0500 Oh, I've gone and done it again and posted the new rounds in the previous thread. Must be the jet lag. Yeah, that's it. Here's a repeat. Please respond just once, in either thread. These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-16, 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 (from the first posting). All questions were written by members of MI5, and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2015-02-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 9, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - One More Beer Please (Handout Round) As you see, the handout http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-9/beer.png simply asks for "one more beer please" in a variety of languages. Note that for languages that don't use a Latin-based alphabet, the phrases *have been transliterated*, rather than using their native script, which you might too easily recognize. In each case simply name the language. Note: I don't know the source of these translations (except it's not Google Translate, as that produces different results for many of them), and wouldn't be surprised if there are errors in some of them. I noticed a couple of things not quite right myself and took it on myself to improve them, and while I was at it, for convenience in this medium I also took the opportunity to resequence the entries so as to put the 10 languages that were actually used in the round first. So the 13 decoys are now #11 through #23. 1. What language? 2. What language? 3. What language? 4. What language? 5. What language? 6. What language? 7. What language? 8. What language? 9.

What language? * Game 9, Round 10 - Challenge Round - St. Patrick's Day A. Sunday Bloody Sunday A1. As you know, "Bloody Sunday" refers to the 1972 shooting by British soldiers of 26 unarmed civilians in Northern Ireland during a protest march against internment. But another name for the incident references the area of Derry where it happened. Name that place. A2. After an earlier tribunal largely cleared British soldiers and authorities of any wrongdoing on Bloody Sunday, Tony Blair ordered a second inquiry in 1998.

"Calvin": > What is the point of decoys if the answers aren't given in a list? In the original game, it's so that the players whose turns come up toward the end of the round won't be able to anticipate which items they should be thinking about. If you were the 9th player to answer and there were just 10 languages were used in the order 6, 9, 7, 2, 10, 4, 1, 8, 3, 5, then as soon as the 8th player was given #8, you could be thinking hard about identifying #3 and #5. (If they were used in numerical order it'd be even worse, as *everyone* could anticipate their own question as soon as they recognized the pattern. This does in fact happen sometimes when question-setters get careless.) In this medium, it's for people who find it fun to identify more languages. On this particular round, it's also possible that one entry may help you eliminate others, if there are two languages on the list that are fairly similar. For example, you might be able to reason along the lines of (hypothetical example) "I know #20 is correct Spanish, and #5 looks pretty similiar, so I'll try Portuguese for #5". -- Mark Brader "...we are now uniquely privileged to sit side by side Toronto with the giants on whose shoulders we stand." msb@vex.net -- Gerald Holton My text in this article is in the public domain. |
