As far as I know the volcanic eruption at Krakatoa in 1883 was the most deadly in recorded history -- in terms of direct consequences. However, back in April 1815, also in what is now Indonesia, a volcano called Tambora erupted so much material into the atmosphere that 1816 became known in the Northern Hemisphere as the "Year Without a Summer". Crop failures were widespread, and in an era of subsistence farming and poor transportation systems, a worldwide scale it was a much more deadly disaster. And it's also probably the one Erland was thinking of, so risking -- but, as it turns out, avoiding -- elimination for himself. -- Mark Brader "Men are animals." Toronto "What are women?

Round 8 will be open for 4 days from the moment of posting, or until everyone has posted an entry. 8. After the failure of the French effort to build a canal across the Isthmus of Panama, the US government negotiated a treaty that would let them build and control such a canal, but the Colombian government did not ratify it. In response, the US sent warships to Panama so that the Colombian government would not object to Panama seceding and making the treaty on its own (thus creating the Panama Canal Zone). When did Panama declare independence? -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "The Dopeler effect: dumb ideas sound smarter msb@vex.net | when they come at you in a hurry."

Yes. I never recall which of one is which, so I had to make a choice. When I saw the other answers, I thought it was bye-bye, but miracles do happen, apparently. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

This question changed twice after it was originally drafted. I first asked for the date the canal opened, but decided that that might be too easy. (Also, it came up in an OQFTCI round from 2003 that I posted here in 2008, although I only gave the year then.) Next I thought I'd make it the Suez Canal, but Calvin asked *that* question in his first knockout, in 2010. So I finally went with this question, although I did give the answer (at least the year) in 2014 in a QFTCICR14 *question*.

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 24 11:43PM -0600 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 4 - Science - Organelles As their name implies, organelles are subunits of a cell that perform specific tasks, similar to the organs of the body. Except as indicated, for each question name the organelle described. 1. This animal-cell organelle contains its own namesake DNA, which is typically inherited matrilineally. The organelle's role in the production of ATP leads to it being known as "the powerhouse of the cell". Name it. 2. The body of this organelle consists mainly of stacks of thylakoids called grana, which contain high concentrations of a green pigment. Name this plant organelle, the main site of photosynthesis. After answering this question, please decode the rot13: Vs lbh fnvq cynfgvq, jr arrq n zber fcrpvsvp nafjre. Gel ntnva. 3. The ribosomes that line one type of this organelle make it the main site of RNA translation, while another type is responsible for synthesizing lipids and steroids. Name this organelle that comes in rough and smooth varieties. 4. After molecules are synthesized by the cell, they are sent to this organelle that packages them up into vesicles and sends them where they are needed. Name this organelle, which is itself named for the Italian scientist that discovered it. 5. Both ribosomes and signal-recognition particles are formed in this organelle. It is largest organelle found within the cell nucleus, and has a name similar to it. 6. Like a similar organelle used for the same purpose, this functional organelle's internal structure consists of "9+2" arrangements of microtubules. Name this whip-like organelle that is used for motion in cells like sperm. 7. Microtubules come from microtubule organisation centers, which are found primarily from basal bodies in this organelle. It is responsible for the creation of the mitotic spindle and consists of two perpendicularly arranged centrioles. 8. Also called a nematocyst, this organelle holds a toxin that is fired by a certain phylum of aquatic species. Name *either* the organelle that holds the toxin *or* the phylum that includes sea anemones and jellyfish. 9. Mannose-6-phosphate is used to tag proteins that are to be sent to this organelle. Name this organelle, whose primary function is to break down and dispose of unwanted materials. 10. While the aforementioned <answer 9> is responsible for breaking down most materials, very-long-chain fatty acids are instead broken down by another organelle. Name that other organelle, whose name reflects the fact that it also reduces the molecule H2O2. * Game 4, Round 6 - Geography - Go South, Young Man We give you the capital city of a US state; you name the next *state* you would encounter if you traveled due south from it. For example, we say Bismarck, North Dakota; you say South Dakota. 1. Carson City, Nevada. 2. Topeka, Kansas. 3. Denver, Colorado. 4. Indianapolis, Indiana. 5. Atlanta, Georgia. 6. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 7. Little Rock, Arkansas. 8. Boise, Idaho. 9. Jefferson City, Missouri. 10. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. -- Mark Brader "It's simply a matter of style, and while there Toronto are many wrong styles, there really isn't any msb@vex.net one right style." -- Ray Butterworth My text in this article is in the public domain. |

Hill Harper (actor). 1 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque. > 14. 1948-. Yes, Garry Trudeau again. You only get points for the answer once, though. > 15. What order are they in? The repetition of Trudeau was, of course, a hint: each answer has the same surname as a different prime minister of Canada (and for both #2 and #3, coincidentally also the same first name!). And the sequence is simply according to when each corresponding prime minister first took office. There have, of course, been more than 15 prime ministers. But there aren't a whole lot of other famous people with names like Bowell, Meighen, and St-Laurent; and anyway 23 questions would have been rather a lot. For the full list of prime ministers (including the non-consecutive terms that 4 of them had), see: http://www.rulers.org/rulc1.html#canpm Marc, Dan Blum, Joe, Pete, and Dan Tilque got the idea, but nobody stated it precisely. Dan Blum came closest, followed by Marc. But the tiebreaker was not needed, as the scores, if there are no errors, were: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 TOTALS Dan Tilque 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 8 Dan Blum 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 7 Marc Dashevsky 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 7 Pete Gayde 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 7 "Joe" 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 5 "Calvin" 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 4 Peter Smyth 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 2 1 1 4 6 0 0 6 2 6 1 4 7 2 0 0 Incidentally, I'm curious: was there anyone who spotted the theme *before* they got to the hint at #14?
