| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 22 06:24PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-09-21, 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 to the newsgroup in a single followup, 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 the Bloor St. Irregulars, 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 1, Round 7 - Canadiana History - Canadian Murders 1. Michael Briere pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering a 10-year-old girl who was walking past his house on Bloor St. in 2003. Name the victim; *either* her first name or last name will do. 2. What was the name of the 12-year-old shoeshine boy, the son of impoverished Portuguese immigrants, whose sexual assault and murder shocked Toronto in August 1977? 3. Valery Fabrikant was an associate professor of mechanical engineering who shot and killed four colleagues in 1992 -- at which university? 4.

Marc Lepine murdered 14 women and wounded 18 other people when he attacked which school in 1989? 6.

What is the name of the former colonel in the Canadian Forces who was arrested on murder charges while in command of the country's largest and busiest military air base, CFB Trenton? 8. A Hungarian-born Canadian former real estate developer who was convicted in 1974 of arranging the murder of his wife. It resulted in the longest trial in Canadian history. What is his name? 9. Born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman, what is the better-known name of the former pornographic actor and model who killed and dismembered Lin Jun in 2012, then mailed limbs to elementary schools and federal political party offices? 10.

If you really want an obscure place in the Seattle area, try Medina! I think did pretty well for being an out-of-town guy. In the answers given there were quite a few places I've never heard of. It occurred to me that the only reason I had heard the name Walla Walla before is because I've been looking at the list of cities for WA on citypopulation.de. Looking at the map, I see that it is way out from the parts of Washington I've been to. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

For being a non-North American, I think you did an outstanding job. Knowing we have people from several countries on three different continents, I try to avoid sets of questions where one group has an advantage. It's hard to come up with such sets and I knew this one was not one. But I liked the concept so well that I went ahead with it anyway. It doesn't translate (excuse the pun) to either Australia or Europe very well, though. Australian placenames that are not named after people, are generally either English or Aboriginal, and I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to translate the latter. European names, at least of the larger cities, don't tend to be words in any language. They may have started that way centuries ago, but no longer. Unless I gave "new city" as a clue, but then there'd be at least a couple dozen valid answers in as many languages (from Villeneuve to Novgorod). -- Dan Tilque |

Black Water (Western Europe) Danish Castle (Northern Europe) Monday (North Asia) Log Islet (Northern Europe) White Fort (Southeast Europe) Edge of Waters (Southwest Europe) Monks (Central Europe) Cup (Southern Europe) River (Southern Europe) Of Lions (Eastern Europe) You may not know all these citites even by their real name, but all exceed Walla Walla in population. :-) -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

I didn't mention another difficulty for Europe: the multiplicity of languages. Example: > Black Water (Western Europe) That could be Agua Negra, Eau Noir, Schwarzwasser, or Aqua Niger, none of which sound like a city I'm familiar with. Or it could be in some language I'm not as familiar with such as Irish, Catalan, Portuguese, Welsh, Scottish, or Basque. > You may not know all these citites even by their real name, but all exceed > Walla Walla in population. :-) Which is irrelevant. As I said before, the absolute value of the population is less important than the population of the city compared to its region. Eastern Washington has a much lower density than pretty much all of Europe except northern Scandinavia, Iceland, and parts of Russia. For most of Europe, you'd have to have a city at least 5 times as large as Walla Walla to have a similar level of familiarity. -- Dan Tilque |
| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Jan 22 10:36PM +0100 > I didn't mention another difficulty for Europe: the multiplicity of > languages. Example: True. On your list, all but one are from a language different from the local lingo, whereas most of the names I came up with means something in the local language. (Or meant, some names have been contracted by time, why the original meaning is no longer obvious.) There is one exception though, and that is the black water. Actually, I happen to know two black-water cities in Europe for which this applies. Except that I was somewhat wrong on the one I listed; I did it all from memory, and the actual origin of Dublin is rather Blackpool. The other black-water city is Cernavoda in Roumania. (In area that historically is Bulgarian.) The rest: > Danish Castle (Northern Europe) Tallinn, Estonia. > Monday (North Asia) Dushanbe, Tajikistan > Log Islet (Northern Europe) Stockholm, Sweden > White Fort (Southeast Europe) Belgrade, Serbia. There is also a Belgorod in Russia. > Edge of Waters (Southwest Europe) Bordeaux, France > Monks (Central Europe) Munich, Germany > Cup (Southern Europe) Brindisi, Italy > River (Southern Europe) Rijeka, Croatia. When the city was part of Italy in the inter-war period it was known as Fiume. Which means the same thing. > Of Lions (Eastern Europe) Lviv, Ukraine. Although the city has no relation to lions. It is named after the king's son Leo. But for some reason the form is genitiv plural, why I have never understood. > all of Europe except northern Scandinavia, Iceland, and parts of Russia. > For most of Europe, you'd have to have a city at least 5 times as large > as Walla Walla to have a similar level of familiarity. There is probably something I don't understand about the mindset across the pond. I can understand you as an almost-local knows about Walla Walla. But I am more surprised when I see correct answers from far- away Toronto. For all the sparseness of Eastern WA, Walla Walla is not a metropolitan signularity. There is after all the lot bigger Spokane. But maybe Walla Walla is along the I-90 and lot of people see the name because of this. The same would not happen in Europe. Take Swedish Östersund, which is somewhat larger than Walla Walla. It is a provincial capital, and the nearest other significant city is about 200 km away, so it certainly qualifies as a singularity. But I would expect very few people in Europe outside the Nordic countries to have a clue of where it is. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

Read the "In popular culture" section of the Wikipedia article on the city. Also, it had to be some place alphabetically after Toronto, assuming that I had Toronto right. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | It depends upon what the meaning of the word "is" is. msb@vex.net | -- Bill Clinton My text in this article is in the public domain. |

I would not expect as many to get the similarly-sized Corvallis, for example. The European equivalent, by the way, is Baden-Baden, which I've heard of even though it's about the same size as Walla Walla. -- Dan Tilque |

I thought so. And I suppose this applies to Eau Claire and some of the other names that were listed that I'd never heard of. (It irks me a little that I did not enter Los Gatos. But I was not sure of the Spanish word for "cat". Never heard of the place anyway.) > Also, it had to be some place alphabetically after Toronto, assuming > that I had Toronto right. I was a little suprised to see you having a question mark there. As a native, I would expect that you would know that - or would know that Toronto means something else. (Yes, I also entered Toronto.
