| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 18 01:55PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-04, 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. All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe, 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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 3, Round 7 - Science - Sick of Acronyms? Calling all hypochondriacs! We'll give you a common acronym associated with a disease or medical condition; you give us the full name. Exact answers required. 1. DVT. 2. IBS. 3. HPV. 4. AIDS. 5. SIDS. 6. ED. 7. COPD. 8. DTs. 9. TIA. 10. FAS. * Game 3, Round 8 - Sports - Formula 1 1. In which country are the greatest number of F1 teams based? 2. In which city is the US Grand Prix currently held? 3. In which city is the Canadian Grand Prix currently held? 4. Who is the only Canadian to have won the drivers' championship? The full name is required. 5. Who is the current champion driver? 6. The youngest-ever drivers' champion won the title four years in a row, from 2010 to 2013. Name him *or* just say what team he drove for. 7. Besides <answer 5> and <answer 6 driver>, three other current F1 drivers have been champions. Name any one of them. 8. Ferrari and Mercedes are the only teams that use their namesakes' engines. Name *either* of the other manufacturers providing engines this year. 9. Jochen Rindt won the drivers' championship in 1970. What was unique about his win? 10. No American has won an F1 Grand Prix race since this driver won the Dutch Grand Prix (and the drivers' title) in 1978. Name him. -- Mark Brader, Toronto, msb@vex.net The precedence don't enter into it -- it's stone undefined. This expression makes no sense. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone, though sadly not forgotten. This is a latent expression. Bereft of meaning, it should rest in peace. If people didn't keep nailing it into these discussions, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir ineffable. This is not an ex-pression. -- Steve Summit (after Monty Python) My text in this article is in the public domain. |
