| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Oct 12 10:26PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-25, 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 5, Round 7 - Entertainment - Big Screen, Small Screen We'll give you the names of two actors who have played the same character, one on film, the other on TV. In all cases you name the character. For example, if we said "Movie, Donald Sutherland; TV, Alan Alda", then the answer would be Hawkeye Pierce. 1. Movie, Gary Oldman; TV, Ben McKenzie. 2. Movie, Mark Ruffalo; TV, Bill Bixby. 3. Movie, Robert Downey Jr.; TV, Jonny Lee Miller. 4. Movie, Armie Hammer; TV, Clayton Moore. 5. Movie, Gary Oldman; TV, Sir Alec Guinness. 6.

At one time the phrase "You got Hirschfelded" meant you had officially made it. In this round, we'll give you a picture number and you identify the subject. There are 3 pages in the handout. I've sorted the questions in picture order; there were 12 decoys, which you may identify if you like for fun, but for no points. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/5-8/al.pdf 1. (decoy) 2. Name the Motown diva. 3. (decoy) 4. (decoy) 5. Name the talk-show icon and one-time king of late-night TV. 6. (decoy) 7. Name *both* bad-boy rock stars. 8. (decoy) 9. (decoy) 10.

Within one year, in what year did Nunavut officially separate > from the Northwest Territories to become Canada's third > territory? 1999 (accepting 1998-2000). As Björn noted, I kind of gave this away by not editing it out of #4, but some of you missed it anyway. 4 for Joshua and Dan Tilque. 3 for Pete. > 2. What does the word "Nunavut" mean in Inuktitut? Our land. > 3. The territorial flag is yellow and white and contains a blue > star and what other iconic symbol? Inukshuk. I accepted "inuksik". 4 for Joshua (the hard way).

On its new design, you > will find one <answer 3>, three streams of northern lights, and > 25 stars; but there is also one other symbol of the north. What? Polar bear. Some entrants guessed this answer for #3, but not for this question. See: http://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8233/8540040783_70f85f6608_b.jpg The old design also featured a polar bear, but differently. See: http://www.plateshack.com/y2k/Nunavut/nun2010sept.jpg > 5. What is Nunavut's current capital city? Iqaluit. I accepted "Iqualuit" but scored "Ilaquit" as almost correct. 4 for Joshua and Dan Tilque. 3 for Pete. > including ceramics, carving and prints. It is also the second > most populous center, with 2,577 people according to the > 2011 census. Name this community. Rankin Inlet. > 7. How many members represent Nunavut in the House of Commons? 1. 3 for Joshua. You might have guessed this considering that the second-largest place in the territory has only 2,577 people. Even 1 member is an overrepresentation in terms of the territory's population, but a necessary one considering that it would be difficult to have representation with less than 1 member. In the 2011 census the population of Canada was 33,476,688, and the House of Commons has (or rather will have after the current election, the first since the redistribution following this census) 338 seats, or one per 99,043 people; but the population of Nunavut was only 31,906. > of the English explorer who led an expedition to find the > Northwest Passage and made the first recorded European contact > with the Inuit.
