These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-10-19,
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 4, Round 2 - History - A Nazi Piece of Work
 
In each case, you will be given a brief biographical sketch of
an important figure in Nazi Germany. Name that person.
 
1. Head of the SS and the Gestapo, his official titles
included Minister of the Interior, Chief of German Police,
and Reichsführer-SS. He committed suicide on May 23, 1945.
 
2. A submarine officer in World War I, he was in charge of
the German U-boat campaign during the Battle of the Atlantic.
Upon Hitler's death, he took over as German head of state,
and was responsible for ordering the German surrender on May
7, 1945. He died in 1980.
 
3. This man was responsible for organising and managing the details
of the Final Solution. In 1960, he was captured by Mossad agents
in Argentina. Hannah Arendt coined the phrase "the banality
of evil" during his trial in Jerusalem. He was hanged in 1962.
 
4. An SS officer and doctor, he served as a physician at the
Auschwitz concentration camp. He is notorious for engaging in
human experimentation, with a particular interest in twins.
Captured by the Americans, he was accidentally released, and
escaped to South America. In 1979, he drowned while swimming
in Brazil.
 
5. An SS officer assigned to Occupied France, he is believed to
have been responsible for the deaths of 14,000 Jews and
Resistance fighters. He earned the nickname "The Butcher of
Lyon". After the war he moved Bolivia, where he is believed
to have helped the CIA kill Che Guevara. He was extradited to
France and died in prison in 1991.
 
6. Hitler's favourite architect, he first rose to prominence for
helping to orchestrate the 1933 Nuremberg rally. During the war,
we served as Minister of Armaments & War Production. At the
Nuremberg Trials he was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment in
Spandau Prison. He died of a stroke in 1981.
 
7. From 1933 to 1941, this man served as Hitler's Deputy Führer.
On May 10, 1941, he flew a Messerschmitt Bf110 to Scotland in
an abortive peace attempt. He spent the rest of the war in
British detention. At the Nuremberg Trials he was sentenced to
life imprisonment. From 1966 onwards he was the only prisoner
in Spandau Prison, finally dying there in 1987.
 
8. An engineer and industrialist, this man designed his first car
in 1906, but his most enduring legacy was the "People's Car" that
he developed at Hitler's request during the 1930s. During the
war he was involved in the design of the Tiger and Tiger II
tanks. Briefly imprisoned as a war criminal, he returned to
the auto industry after the war. He died in 1951 in Stuttgart.
 
9. A frustrated writer, this man joined the Nazi party in 1924,
and was instrumental in its rise. From 1933 onwards he
effectively invented the modern science of propaganda in his role
as Hitler's Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
On May 1, 1945, the day after Hitler's death, he ended his own
life along with those of his wife and children.
 
10. A fighter ace in World War I, this man headed the Luftwaffe from
1935 onwards. He founded the Gestapo in 1933, and was appointed
as Hitler's vice-chancellor in 1941. He used his position to
amass a huge collection of stolen art, as well as becoming
immensely fat. He was sentenced to death at Nuremberg,
but killed himself with cyanide before the sentence could be
carried out.
 
 
* Game 4, Round 3 - Entertainment - Routines, Segments, and Characters
 
TV shows commonly have recurring segments or routines or characters.
In each case, name the show or the host, as indicated. (Not all
of these are still on the air, and yes, "host" may include women.
If the show's official title includes the host's name, you may
omit that part when naming the show.)
 
1. The segment is "Talking to Americans". Name the show.
2. The segment is "Stupid Pet Tricks". Name the show or the host.
3. The segment is "Masturbating Bear". Name the show or the host.
4. The character is J. Fred Muggs (a chimpanzee). Name the show.
5. The segment is "Slow Jam the News". Name the host.
6. The character is Carnak the Magnificent. Name the host.
7. The segment is "Democalypse 2016". Name the show.
8. The segment is "Better Know a District". Name the show.
9. The segment is "Favorite Things". Name the show or the host.
10. The segment is "Keep it 100%". Name the show or the host.

54-40. 4 for Dan Tilque, Dan Blum, Jason, and Marc. 2 for Joshua.
 
The Oregon Terrority was then under joint American/British control.
It simply extended from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific and from
latitude 42°N (now the northern boundary of California and Nevada) to
54°40'N: thus it included what are now Washington, Oregon, and Idaho
(plus the western bits of Montana and Wyoming) as well as most of
the southern half of BC, where most of its population now lives (but
excluding Vancouver I., which was a separate British colony). East of
the Rockies, the existing border between British (now Canadian) and
US territory followed latitude 49°N as far as Lake of the Woods; and,
contrary to Polk's election slogan, it was an agreement to extend
this line west to the coast that ended up avoiding any fighting.
