| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 12 09:26PM -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 4 - Sports - It's the World in Union... Rugby Union The Rugby World Cup is currently taking place. Here are 10 questions all about the great sport of rugby union and about the Rugby World Cup. 1. Which Southern Hemisphere country with a population of just over 4 million won the very first Rugby World Cup in 1987 and also won the most recent Rugby World Cup in 2011? 2. Of the seven Rugby World Cups to take place, New Zealand has won two, Australia two, and South Africa two. Name only Northern Hemisphere country to have won. This country won in 2003 and is hosting the current World Cup. This country also won the 1966 World Cup in soccer. 3. How many players are there on the field for each team in a game of rugby union? Hint: the number is *not* prime. 4. Teams in the Rugby World Cup are playing for the William Webb Ellis Trophy, named after William Webb Ellis, who according to legend first picked up a football and ran with it while he was a student at which English public school? 5. Which team at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, captained by Paul O'Connell, is representing two different countries? 6. Which country's rugby team is known as the Cherry Blossoms (or the Brave Blossoms) and beat South Africa two weeks ago in what some called the greatest Rugby World Cup upset of all time? 7. In 1972, a Uruguayan rugby team crashed into the Andes. Only 16 people of the 45 on board survived the crash, but the survivors had to eat the dead after rations ran out. What is the one-word title of the 1993 movie based on these events? 8. What is the one-word title of the 2009 movie starring Matt Damon as the captain of the 1995 World Cup winning South African team, Francois Pienaar? Please decode the rot13 for the least two questions only after you have finished with #9-10. 9. Gur Ehtol Jbeyq Phc vf uryq rirel 4 lrnef.

Name the structure that held the record for the tallest structure in the world for 3,871 years. 2. Name the 555-foot-high structure completed in 1884 that held the record for the tallest structure in the world, but only for 5 years. Even today, though, it is still the tallest structure in the city where it is located. 3. Name the London building that, at just over 1,000 feet tall, is currently the tallest building in Western Europe. 4. This structure at 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, was built in 1930 and held the record for the tallest structure in the world for only for a year before another one, less than a mile away, took the record. Name the 1930 structure. 5. In this question "tower" excludes buildings, which contain habitable floors over most of their height. On that basis, name the structure that is the tallest tower in the world and the second-tallest structure of any kind in Asia: it is a neofuturistic broadcast, restaurant, and observation tower. 6. Name the building 136 m high that is the tallest structure in the world's smallest country (by area). 7. Name the tallest structure in Taiwan. Hint: it sounds like an introductory college course about highly-strung personalities. 8. What name is given to the proposed 80-story condominium building that would be built on the southwest corner of Bloor and Yonge and would be the tallest building in Canada? 9. It stands 172 m tall and has only three floors, yet it is the tallest building in Barcelona (not counting power plant chimneys and communication towers). What is it? Its name is almost identical in Catalan and Spanish; give either version. 10. Construction started on the world's tallest proposed tower in April 2013. It is called the Kingdom Tower and it will have a height of 1,008 m when completed in 2018. In which country will you find this building? -- Mark Brader | Obviously an off by 1 error somewhere.

The original version of this question said she was "snubbed" for the prize, which is simply wrong; she was ineligible because she had died some years before the Nobel committee decided to give an award for the discovery. It is fair to say that her work provided key information that Watson and Crick's discovery was based on, but this was not exactly forgotten; she was mentioned twice in Wilkins's Nobel lecture, and when Watson and Crick's announced the double helix structure in "Nature", they acknowledged being "stimulated by a knowledge of the general nature of the unpublished experimental results and ideas of Dr. M.H.W. Wilkins, Dr. R.E. Franklin and their co-workers..." It is also claimed that Franklin's results should not have been made available to Watson and Crick in the way that they were at the time that they were, and there may be something to that.
