| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 19 08:45PM -0500 You still have over 14 hours to enter RQ 217 as I repost this. See the original posting for further details. For questions #1-6, see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/rq217/handout.jpg 1. Give the manufacturer for 1 point and the model name for 3. 2. Name the character for 3 points, and the 2010 fantasy movie that introduced her for 1. 3. Give its common name in English. 4. Who is this? 1 point each, up to a maximum of 3, for the first and last names of the character and the actress; 1 point for the title of the 1951 movie. 5. What is it? 6. What title has been blanked out? 7. Two words with the same etymology and very similar spellings. One refers to an object many of which can be found in our solar system, the other to a type of hypocycloid curve. Give either word for 3 points, or both (in the order indicated) for 4. Exact spelling required. 8. The later seasons of the TV series "Star Trek: Voyager" featured a regular character who had been liberated from the Borg. For 2 points, name the lab where this character often worked -- one that was created especially to suit her expertise. For 2 points more, give her name. (The short one-word name her friends would use in conversation will do for 1 point; for the full 2 points give either a longer form of this name or else her original first and last name before she was a Borg.) 9. What invertebrate sea creature commonly has 5 arms? Give its common name in English. 10. Complete this line from a 1952 musical-comedy movie: "'People'? I ain't 'people'! I am a shimmering, glowing..." (There are 10 more words, and you need to get most of them right for the full 4 points, but the next word alone is worth 1 point.) 11. In 1999 in the US, President Clinton was impeached on (and acquitted of) charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. The independent counsel and special prosecutor whose investigations led to the charges is now a president himself -- president and chancellor of Baylor University. Who is he? 1 point for the first name, 3 for the surname. 12. The fictional newspaper the "Daily Planet", where Superman worked in his secret identity as Clark Kent, was named after what real-life newspaper? Give either its present name or its name at the time. 1 point for the city, 3 points for the rest of the name. 13. This movie was nominated for 5 Oscars, winning one for visual effects, and counted among its executive producers an emeritus Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, whose ideas were featured in the story. Name the movie for 3 points and the professor for 1. By now you should have noticed that this quiz has a theme. For each of questions #13-16, give a single word that fits the theme and names the thing described. In one case there are two possible answers; for that question give either one for 3 points or both for 4. 14. This is when people who want to promote something, such as a commercial product or a political position, attempt to simulate the appearance that it has widespread popular support. For example, they might post messages on computerized media using many different false identities. 15. The Jetsons' dog. 16. Catastrophe. 17. * 18. (Tiebreaker.) Explain in complete detail the etymology behind answer #14. -- Mark Brader | "Well, in difficult circumstances, sacrifices do Toronto | have to be made -- especially by ordinary people." msb@vex.net | --Sir Humphrey ("Yes, Prime Minister" (2013), Lynn & Jay) My text in this article is in the public domain. |
