These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-30,
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*)".
 
 
** Final, Round 6 - Sports
 
* Triple Crown in Baseball
 
If the same player leads one of the major baseball leagues in home
runs, runs batted in, and batting average, all in the same year,
it is called a Triple Crown. We'll give the specifics for some
Triple Crown winners; you name the respective players.
 
1. Baltimore Orioles, 1966, right field, 49 HR, 122 RBI, .316 avg.
2. Boston Red Sox, 1967, left field, 44 HR, 121 RBI, .326 avg.
3. Detroit Tigers, 2012, third base, 44 HR, 139 RBI, .330 avg.
 
 
* The World Cup of Cricket
 
The World Cup of Cricket takes place every 4 years. The final of
the tournament just ended was played on March 28.
 
4. That tournament was held in which *two* countries?
 
5. Who was the defending champion, the winner in 2011?
 
6. This tournament uses the one-day international format. So how
many overs does each team play in a game?
 
 
* NHL Classic Nicknames
 
We'll name an NHL player (all are Montreal players, in fact);
you give us his classic nickname.
 
7. Nels Stewart.
8. Georges Vézina.
9. Howie Morenz.
 
 
* Grand Prix Racetracks
 
Name the country that each of these Grand Prix racetracks is in.
 
10. Sepang.
11. Interlagos.
12. Monza.
 
 
* Number of Players
 
How many players from each team are on the field at a time in...
 
13. Canadian football?

15. Australian rules football?

Round 7 is still open for some more hours as I post this, but there's
a chance I won't have Internet access at that time, so I'll start
Round 8 now. You can still answer Round 7 if you haven't yet, until
I post the answers.

** Final, Round 8 - Entertainment

Please see the Internet meme images at:
 
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/meme.jpg
 
In each question we give two different quotes based on the same
meme; you identify the relevant picture by letter.
 
1. "Late to work... Boss was even later"; "Don't know question on
a test... Answer is in another question."
 
2. "What if I told you... people committed murder before video games
existed?"; "What if I told you... hashtags on Facebook do
nothing?"
 
3. "One does not simply... find the Smurf village"; "One does not
simply... stop being jealous because you say they should."
 
 
* Entertainment Triple Threats
 
Name the people described.
 
4. This actor/actress has an Oscar for "Reversal of Fortune",
an Emmy for "Elizabeth I", and a Tony for "The Real Thing".
 
5. This actor/actress has an Oscar for "Shine", an Emmy for "The
Life and Death of Peter Sellers", and a Tony for "Exit the King".
 
6. This person has an Emmy for "Boardwalk Empire", an Oscar for "The
Departed", and a Grammy for "American Masters: No Direction Home".
 
 
* Record Producers
 
For each of the following smash albums, name the producer.
 
7. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
8. "Abbey Road" by The Beatles.
9. "Heroes" by David Bowie.
 
 
* Best Foreign Film Oscars
 
We'll give you the date, country, and director of some movies that
won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film; you name the movie
(either in English or the original language).
 
10. 1974, Italy, Federico Fellini.
11. 1983, Sweden, Ingmar Bergman.
12. 1972, France, Luis Buñuel.
 
 
* ID the iPod
 
There have been many iPods since they were first introduced by Apple
in 2001. And many generations of each type of iPod. We'll show you
a picture of an iPod, with its year of issue, and you name the iPod.
Each will be "iPod" and a second word. It is not necessary to
identify which generation of the particular iPod it is.
