| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Dec 07 01:12PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-29, 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 10, Round 2 - Science - Color 1. What are the three primary colors that make up light? Pixels of these colors are used in most electronic displays such as LCDs. 2. <Answers 1> are the primary colors of an additive system. In contrast, the print industry relies on a subtractive system, often referred to by the abbreviations of four colors. Give that abbreviation or just name the four colors. 3. The art world uses pigments or molecules to generate colors, instead of light. What are the three primary colors in art? 4. What are the color receptors in the human eye called? 5. In an effort to disprove René Descartes' wave theory of light in 1672, this scientist ran numerous experiments and concluded that light is composed of colored particles, which combine to appear white. He also introduced the term "spectrum" and divided the spectrum into seven colors. Name the scientist. 6. <Answer 5>'s "spectrum" experiment famously used a prism to split white light into its colors. This took advantage of the different behavior of different colors of light during what phenomenon? 7. Some people perceive letters and numbers as colored, whereas some others see colors when they hear music or sounds. What is this neurological phenomenon called? 8. In 1957, scientists combined the trichromatic theory from 1801 with the opponent-color theory of 1892. This led to the scientific understanding of a disorder first reported by John Dalton in 1793-94. What is the everyday name of this genetic disorder? 9. Metamerism is the phenomenon when a color appears different in different contexts or settings. A real-life illustration occurred a few months ago when social media exploded in debate over the color of a woman's dress. Either name *both* actual colors of the dress *or both* alternative colors that people observed. (And no, you don't have to say which were the actual colors.) 10. Coal -- or any other substance -- glows red when heated ("red-hot"), and upon further heating, it will turn "white-hot". What color will it turn if it is heated beyond white-hot? * Game 10, Round 3 - Canadiana Arts - Canadian Paintings Please see the 3-page handout at: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-3/artist.pdf In each case we'll name an artist and you identify which picture they painted. 1. Jean-Paul Riopelle. 2. Alex Colville. 3. "Runt", or Alex Currie. 4. Emily Carr. 5. Ken Danby. 6. Paul Kane. 7. Michael Snow. 8. Christopher Pratt. 9. Jack Bush. 10. Charles Pachter. So there were 8 decoys. Here in rot13 are 7 more artists whose works you may identify if you wish for fun, but for no points: 11. Gbal Bayrl. 12. Ehol Munat. 13. Lbex Jvyfba. 14. Orawnzva Purr Purr. 15. Vina Jurnyr. 16. Evgn Yrgraqer. 17. Tert Pheabr. And then there's one more picture. If you're still having fun, then after you have finished with questions #1-17, decode the rot13 and answer: 18.

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Dec 07 06:18AM -0600 GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #347 (GOLQ347) Hello everyone and welcome to the December edition of the quiz. For this quiz, there are two themes. They are closely related to one another; so closely related in fact that in common speech one could be a synonym for the other. There are at least two "two-fers". Usually themed quizzes create a situation where there are necessary forays into the more Southern regions of the Billboard charts. You may find that to be true in this case. So how hard is this quiz? I would say that several lyric sets would rate about a 10 (on the Mohs scale). Best December holiday wishes to everyone.
