Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 9 updates in 5 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Oct 15 11:52PM -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 9 - History - Spies through History
 
Some spy for profit, others for fame or ideology. Let's see what
you remember about these people, made famous by their escapades
in espionage.
 
1. Margarethe Zelle, better known as Mata Hari, was one of the most
iconic modern-day spies. Some say her passport helped facilitate
her spying for Germany during World War I; others say it was
her career as an exotic dancer that was more of a factor.
But what nationality was she?
 
2. Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were American citizens who were
recruited by the KGB, passed information to the Soviet Union,
and met their end in the electric chair in Sing Sing in 1953.
What was that information about?
 
3. Said to be the first American spy, this Continental army soldier
volunteered for an intelligence-gathering mission, but was
captured and hanged in New York City. He is probably best
known for his last words, "I regret that I have but one life
to give for my country." Name this eloquent would-be spy.
 
4. Nicknamed "Artemis" by the Germans, this American spy was
considered to be the "most dangerous of all Allied spies"
during World War II. She was also known for the fact that she
used a wooden leg (which she nicknamed "Cuthbert") following
an amputation resulting from when she accidently shot herself
in the leg while hunting in Turkey. Name this colorful spy.
 
5. During WW2 and the 1950s, there was a group of five Soviet
spies which included Kim Philby and Anthony Blunt. Name the
English university where they were recruited in the 1930s.
 
6. Belle Boyd, a Confederate spy in the American Civil War,
was also known by the moniker "Cleopatra of the Secession".
While operating her father's hotel in Virginia, she was able
to learn valuable information which she passed on to which
Confederate general in 1862?
 
7. Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee were in their mid-20s
when arrested in 1977 and convicted of selling US spy-satellite
secrets to the Soviet Union. Their story was told in a
best-selling book and a 1985 film starring Timothy Hutton and
Sean Penn. The title of both was taken from their nicknames
based on their interests and hobbies. What was it?
 
8. Though never officially confirmed, this chef and her husband
Paul were long suspected of being involved in spying for
the United States while working for the Office of Strategic
Services during WW2. They were posted in Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
and later China. Name her.
 
9. This FBI agent spied for the Soviets and Russians for over
22 years before being caught. He was paid over $1,400,000
in cash and diamonds for his efforts. Name this spy whose
activities have been referred to as the "worst intelligence
disaster in US history". He is currently serving 15 consecutive
life sentences.
 
10. Now serving a mere one life sentence (and potentially up for
parole in November 2015), this civilian intelligence analyst
sold classified information to Israel before being caught and
pleading guilty in 1987. Name this spy, who was also motivated
by money and a lavish lifestyle.
 
 
* Game 5, Round 10 - Challenge Round
 
A. Treaties
 
A1. Name the peace treaty signed on March 3, 1918, between the
Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and
Turkey) and Russia's new Bolshevik government that ended
Russia's participation in World War I.
 
A2. Give the collective name of the series of peace treaties
signed between May and October of 1648. They ended the
Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire, and the Eighty
Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic.
 
B. Jean-Michel Basquiat
 
B1. What was the title of the Basquiat retrospective that the
AGO hosted from February to May 2015? The name refers
to an 1985 work by the artist as well as a 1945 Charlie
Parker composition.
 
B2. The death of his mentor, friend, and collaborator in 1987
caused Basquiat to become increasingly isolated, fueled
his addiction to heroin, and exacerbated his depression.
He died himself a year later of a heroin overdose at the
age of 27. Name this mentor.
 
C. Whales
 
C1. To which order do whales belong?
 
C2. Once prized for its use in perfumes, this substance has
been replaced by synthetic materials in recent years.
What is the name of the waxy substance, which is a bile
secretion found in intestines of sperm whales?
 
D. "Downton Abbey"
 
D1. What is the family name of the owners of Downton Abbey?
 
D2. What is the name of the butler who finally proposed to
Mrs. Hughes, the housekeeper, at the end of season 5?
 
E. Moves in Pro Wrestling
 
E1. This move was used by the Iron Sheik in the 1970s and 80s.
The opponent would be lying on this stomach on the ground,
and the Iron Sheik would sit on his back, clasp the
opponent's chin with both hands locked together, and pull
back in hopes of submission. Name this hold, which Hulk
Hogan was the first to break.
 
E2. Named by Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who accidentally invented
it in the 1980s, this move happens when the wrestler has
the opponent in a front facelock or inverted headlock,
and falls down or backwards to drive the opponent's head
into the mat. Name the move.
 
F. Paris
 
F1. Which arrondissement of Paris is home to the Eiffel Tower,
the National Assembly, and the Musée d'Orsay?
 
F2. Located in the 18th arrondissement, this is the
second-most-visited tourist area and the highest hill in
Paris. Name this district, which includes must-see sites
such as the Sacré-Coeur Basilica and the Moulin Rouge.

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Oct 16 02:52AM -0500

In 2012, Stephen Perry composed an RQ that included an ill-specified
question:
 
| the 'Mona Lisa' is the most famous painting of all time.
| what's the 2nd most famous one?
 
He had derived this from a list that supposedly showed the 10 more
famous in order:
 
"Mona Lisa" (Leonardo da Vinci)
"The Starry Night" (Van Gogh)
"The Last Supper" (Leonardo da Vinci)
The Sistine Chapel ceiling (Michelangelo)
"Guernica" (Picasso)
"Girl with a Pearl Earring" (Vermeer)
"The Scream" (Munch)
"Night Watch" (Rembrandt)
"Water Lilies" (Monet)
"The Birth of Venus" (Botticelli)
 
but invited protests based on evidence from conflicting sources.
 
 
At the time, I wrote:
 
| The obvious start was a Google phrase search on
|
| "second most famous painting"
|
| On the first 2 pages of 10 hits each, there were 7 that said it was
| "The Scream" (Munch), but that'll be exaggerated because it's been in
| the news recently...
 
| Of the other 13 hits, 8 did not answer the question because they
| were about qualified favorites (like "da Vinci's second most famous")
| or were debates or queries on the subject.
|
| And the 5 remaining hits named 5 different paintings as the second most
| famous:
|
| * The Sistine Chapel ceiling ...
| * "The Starry Night" ...
| * "The Last Supper" ...
| * "Girl with a Pearl Earring" ...
| * "The Persistence of Memory" ...
 
For contest purposes Stephen accepted my suggestion of a list of
multiple correct answers, so that was fine.
 
 
But now that the news story about "The Scream" is no longer current,
I thought it might be interesting to repeat that Google search.
This time I examined the first 30 results rather than the first 20,
to try to find more candidates or more votes for the same candidate.
(In some cases I looked at the Google cache rather than the page itself.)
 
And the results were indeed noticeably different:
 
* "The Last Supper" (Leonardo da Vinci) was the winner with 6 votes:
 
* http://artcocktail.mallforarts.com/2012/06/brief-description-of-the-ten-most-famous-paintings-in-the-world/
* http://www.easy-oil-painting-techniques.org/leonardo-da-vinci-paintings.html
* http://blog.radissonblu.com/da-vinci-road/
* http://en.calameo.com/books/004063831b8783d1ebd2f
* http://www.professionallyspeaking.org/DaVinciCode/Nov16.ppt
* http://www.sandalsand.net/whc-list-0093-santa-maria-delle-grazie-last-supper/
 
* "The Starry Night" (Van Gogh) had 2 votes:
 
* http://amarjeetsingh7.blogspot.ca/2014/02/top-10-most-famous-paintings.html
* http://www.sesdweb.net/Page/5186
 
* "The Scream" (Munch) had 2 votes:
 
* http://www.pinterest.com/pin/547539267167227078/
* http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2015/08/209_116283.html
 
* The Sistine Chapel ceiling (Michelangelo) had 2 votes:
 
* http://www.waldemar.tv/2012/07/apocalypse-now/
* http://www.graceview.ca/f/2014-08-31_A_Tale_of_Two_Paintings.pdf
 
* "The Persistence of Memory" (Dali) had 1 vote:
 
* http://prezi.com/nxbaykn-rzxu/copy-of-top-10-most-famous-paintings/
 
* "Girl with a Pearl Earring" (Vermeer) had 1 vote:
 
* http://richardtullochwriter.com/2012/05/31/dutch-street-art-raamstraat-den-haag/
 
 
And here are the Google hit estimates for each of the above titles,
including the ones in Stephen's original list, as a phrase together
with the word "painting" and the artist's name. In a few cases
alternative search terms were allowed as indicated below.
 
927,000 painting "Mona Lisa" Leonardo|"da Vinci"
521,000 painting "Sistine Chapel"|"Creation of Adam" Michelangelo
520,000 painting "The Last Supper" Leonardo|"da Vinci"
459,000 painting "Guernica" Picasso
404,000 painting "Water Lilies" Monet
340,000 painting "The Scream" Munch
316,000 painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" Vermeer
280,000 painting "The Starry Night" "Van Gogh"
168,000 painting "The Birth of Venus" Botticelli
113,000 painting "Night Watch" Rembrandt

I present this purely for the interest of those interested.

I note that while my answer will presumably be considered incorrect (since
the Hulk was played by Lou Ferrigno on TV), "Bruce Banner" is also incorrect
since the TV character was named "David Banner." If I were scoring this I
would only count "Banner" or "Dr. Banner" as correct.

At the start of every episode, where they showed his tomb stone, his name
was "David Bruce Banner".
 
Bruce

In the answers, I'll identify the first movie and first TV series
where the indicated actor played the person, giving the title only
once it if was the same.
 
> 1. Movie, Gary Oldman; TV, Ben McKenzie.
 
(Commissioner) James Gordon ["Batman Begins" (2005); "Gotham"
(2015-)]. 4 for Stephen.
 
> 2. Movie, Mark Ruffalo; TV, Bill Bixby.
 
Dr. Bruce/David Banner ["The Avengers" (2012); "The Incredible Hulk"
(1977-82)]. 4 for Joshua (the hard way), Calvin, and Dan Tilque.
3 for Bruce.
 
Sorry to those who said "the Hulk", but it's a wrong answer: when
David Banner turned into the Hulk he was played by Lou Ferrigno.
 
> 3. Movie, Robert Downey Jr.; TV, Jonny Lee Miller.
 
Sherlock Holmes ["Sherlock Holmes" (2009), though I'd rather say
that that was a different character of the same name; "Elementary"
(2012-)]. 4 for Joshua, Gareth, Björn, Calvin, and Stephen.
 
> 4. Movie, Armie Hammer; TV, Clayton Moore.
 
John Reid, aka the Lone Ranger ["The Lone Ranger" (2013; 1949-57)].
4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Gareth, Bruce, Pete, Jason, Stephen,
and Dan Tilque.
 
I hadn't heard of Armie Hammer before playing this round in
the original game. His real first name is Armand and he's the
great-grandson of the business tycoon of the same name. However,
the brand name Arm & Hammer is unrelated (except that Armand Hammer
eventually bought a portion of that company and tried to buy a
controlling interest).
 
> 5. Movie, Gary Oldman; TV, Sir Alec Guinness.
 
George Smiley ["Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (2011; 1979)].
4 for Joshua, Gareth, and Stephen.
 
> 6. Movie, Christopher Lambert; TV, Ron Ely.
 
Lord Greystoke, aka Tarzan ["Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord
of the Apes " (1984); "Tarzan" (1966-68)]. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua,
Bruce, Pete, Jason, Calvin, and Stephen.
 
> 7. Movie, Bruce Greenwood; TV, Greg Kinnear.
 
John F. Kennedy ["Thirteen Days" (2000), "The Kennedys" (2011)].
The first name was required. 4 for Joshua and Stephen.
 
> 8. Movie, Daniel Day-Lewis; TV, Hal Holbrook.
 
Abraham Lincoln ["Lincoln" (2012; 1974-76)]. 4 for Joshua, Pete,
Calvin, and Stephen.
 
> 9. Movie, Gene Hackman; TV, Michael Rosenbaum.
 
Lex Luthor ["Superman" (1978); "Smallville" (2001-11)]. 4 for
Dan Blum, Joshua, Gareth, Pete, Calvin, and Stephen.
 
> 10. Movie, Bradley Cooper; TV, Dirk Benedict.
 
Lt. Templeton Arthur Peck, aka "Face" or "Faceman" ["The A-Team"
(2010; 1983-87)]. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Gareth, Jason, Calvin,
and Stephen.
