| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 09 08:41PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-10-05, 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 3, Round 2 - Science - Historic Women in Science From astronomy to zoology, the contributions of women have been instrumental in shaping modern science as we know it. Answer these questions about female scientists and their work. 1. Marie Curie won two Nobel prizes in her lifetime. The second of them, the 1911 chemistry Nobel, was awarded due to her discovery of two elements, numbers 84 and 88 on the periodic table. *Name either element*. 2. The Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania is the home of an English biologist's 1960 study of Gigi, Flo, Fifi, and other members of the Kasakela chimpanzee community. *Name that biologist*. 3. Chien-Shiung Wu's namesake experiment, which confirmed parity violation in weak force interactions, won the 1957 physics Nobel for Lee and Yang, though she was largely ignored. The experiment investigated beta decay in the 60 isotope of a ferromagnetic element whose oxide is used in a namesake blue pigment. *Name that element*. 4. Noether's theorem, named for physicist Emmy Noether ["noyt-er"], has many consequences, one of which is that any spatially invariant physical system follows the law of conservation of a quantity that is typically calculated as mass times velocity. *Name that quantity*. 5. Biologist Gerta Cori and her husband Carl are the namesakes of the Cori cycle, which is also sometimes named for a certain molecule. *Name that molecule*, which is produced by muscles as a result of physical exertion. 6. The programming language Ada is named for a woman whose work with Charles Babbage's planned Analytical Engine included describing what would be recognized as the world's first computer algorithm, giving her a popular designation as the world's first computer programmer. *Name her*. 7. The effects of the US Department of Agriculture's fire ant extermination program on landowners prompted the writing of a 1962 book that decried the use of pesticides, in particular DDT. *Name that book* by marine biologist Rachel Carson. 8. Perhaps the most famous ancient female scientist, this person invented the hydrometer and taught astronomy and neoplatonic philosophy in her home city, where she was killed by a mob in 415. Now the namesake of an annual grade 11 mathematics contest from the University of Waterloo, *name this ancient mathematician* from Alexandria. 9. The 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine went to geneticist Barbara McClintock for her discovery of "jumping genes", or transposons, in her extensive study of a certain organism. *Name that organism*, which is a staple crop. 10. In 1962, Rosalind Franklin was ineligible for the medicine Nobel Prize; it went to her colleague Maurice Wilkins and two others, an American and an Englishman. Franklin's work was key in discovering the two-stranded structure of *which biological molecule*? * Game 3, Round 3 - Literature - Opening Lines of Famous Books We'll give you the opening line of a book (in English translation, if applicable) and the year the book was first published. You simply give the title of the book. 1. 1982: "You better not never tell nobody but God." 2. 1987: "124 was spiteful." 3. 1873: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." 4. 1925: "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since." 5. 1859: "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." 6. 1953: "It was a pleasure to burn." 7. 1949: "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." 8. 1813: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." 9. 1951: "If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like..." 10. 1997: "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much." -- Mark Brader | Given the degree of bitterness... here recently, it might Toronto | [be better described] as an againstum than a forum. msb@vex.net | --Peter Moylan My text in this article is in the public domain. |

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 2, Round 7 - Canadiana Sports - Canadian Baseball 1. This Chatham ON native pitched 19 seasons for four teams, recording 6 consecutive 20-win seasons and winning the 1971 Cy Young Award. He was also the first Canadian inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1991. Name him. 2. This Maple Ridge BC native played 16 seasons for the Expos, Rockies, and Cardinals. In 1997 he became the first Canadian to win the MVP, hitting 49 home runs and driving in 130 RBIs. He won the Lou Marsh award in 1998 and won the Tip O'Neill award as Canada's best baseball player 9 times in his career. Name him. 3. The Toronto Blue Jays' first game in franchise history was on April 7, 1977, at Exhibition Stadium with an attendance of 44,649. They won the game 9-5 with two home runs from Doug Ault. What team did they beat? (The city will do if there is only one major-league team in that city; if there's more than one, the team name is required.) 4. The Montreal Expos played their first game in April 1969. Their first owner was Charles Bronfman, one of the owners of this one-time largest distiller of alcoholic beverages in the world. The company became defunct in 2000, with their assets being acquired by such behemoths as Coca-Cola and Diageo. Name the *company*. 5. Name the current general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays -- a Montreal native who has been with the organization since 2003, and is the architect behind the deals that brought in 2015 MVP candidate Josh Donaldson and former Cy Young award winners R.A. Dickey and David Price. 6. The Blue Jays have five Canadians who have played in the 2015 season. Name any one of the five. 7. Two Canadians have won MVP awards in the recent past. In 2006 a Minnesota Twin won the AL award, while in 2010 a Cincinnati Red won the NL award. Name either player. 8. While Ferguson Jenkins was the first Canadian pitcher to win the Cy Young award, the second was this closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers who won the 2003 award and went a perfect 55-for-55 in save opportunities. Name him. 9. Only one Toronto Blue Jay has won the MVP award. He did this in 1987, hitting 47 home runs and 134 RBIs, but may be most famous for telling the media that fans could "kiss my big purple butt" after being booed for a fielding error. Name him. 10. The Toronto Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series in 1992 and 1993, with Joe Carter hitting a dramatic 3-run home run to win the series in Game 6. One of the runners on base was the World Series MVP that year -- this Hall of Famer, who played the majority of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers, amassing 3,319 hits in his 20-year career. Name him. * Game 2, Round 8 - Arts - Opera Plots Welcome to the wonderful world of opera! Given the year the opera premiered, the composer of the music, and some details about the plot, you name the opera. 1. 1918; Bela Bartok. Judith uses 7 keys to open 7 doors in the title building to discover gruesome and fascinating sights. But what's behind that 7th door? Don't answer that; just name the opera. 2. 1870: Richard Wagner. This second opera of the Ring Cycle sees Hunding kill Siegmund after the latter's sword is destroyed by the greedy Wotun. Wotun uses a ring of magic fire to encircle his daughter Brunnhilde, one of the title characters who take a famous "ride" in one piece from this opera. 3. 1875; Georges Bizet. There are no barbers in this Seville, just a cigarette factory worker who seduces the police officer Don Jose before dumping him for the bullfighter Escamillo. Don Jose, in a jealous rage, kills her. 4. 1829; Gioachino Rossini. Austrian tyrant Gessler forces the Swiss people to bow to a hat on a pole, but the title character is having none of that. As a result, he is sentenced to death unless he can shoot an apple off his son's head. 5. 1935; George Gershwin. One of the title characters kills the other's boyfriend Crown, and that latter title character runs away to New York with the dope peddler Sportin. Life. That first title character then leaves Catfish Row to find her. 6. 1879; Arthur Sullivan. Frederic agrees to serve with the title group until his 21st birthday, but trouble ensues when it is discovered that he was born on February 29. He also falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of a "modern Major General" who has "knowledge vegetable, animal, and mineral". 7. 1853: Giuseppe Verdi. Based on Alexandre Dumas fils's novel "La Dame aux camélias", Alfredo falls in love with the courtesan Violetta Valéry, despite his father's resistance. Oh yeah, she's also dying of consumption. 8. 1805; Ludwig Van Beethoven. Florestan has been made a prisoner of the evil jailer Rocco. But never fear, his wife Leonore cross-dresses as the title character to save him! This was Beethoven's only opera. 9. 1904; Giacomo Puccini. Calaf answers three riddles to win the title Chinese princess's hand in marriage, but in return challenges her to guess his name. The often-excerpted aria "Nessun Dorma" is from this opera, which remained unfinished upon Puccini's death. 10. 1791; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Tamino, the wielder of the title object, rescues his lover Pamina with the help of the birdcatcher Papageno and his silver bells. Hide your glasses during the Act 2 aria "Der Hölle Rache Kocht In Meinem Herzen" when the Queen of the Night hits an F6. -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Information! ...

Given that "all words" had been required, I was reluctant to accept "Soylent Green Bay", but sports teams are often identified by city alone, so I compromised by scoring it as almost correct.
