Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 25 updates in 8 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 04 10:19PM -0500

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-09,
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 007, Round 007 - Science - Bonds, Chemical Bonds
 
1. There are two major types of chemical bonds. In an ionic bond,
one atom gives up an electron to another, charging both atoms;
in the other, the two atoms share pairs of outer-shell electrons.
Name that latter kind of bond.
 
2. *Which theory*, which commonly goes by a 5-letter acronym,
predicts the shape of molecules based on the fact that they
arrange themselves to minimize the repulsion of valence electron
pairs? Fittingly, the acronym is pronounced like the first
name of a Bond girl.
 
3. <Answer 2> theory predicts that a molecule whose central atom has
4 bonding pairs of electrons and no lone pairs, such as methane,
will assume this geometry with bond angles of 109.5°. Give this
word that also describes a solid with four faces.
 
4. On the other hand, <answer 2> theory predicts that a molecule
with 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs will assume the flat
square planar geometry. What is the bond angle in a square
planar molecule?
 
5. A hydrocarbon in which all the carbon-carbon bonds are single
bonds is called an alkane. What similar name is given to any
hydrocarbon with at least one carbon-carbon *triple* bond?
*Warning*: Be careful with your pronunciation.
 
6. Plese complete the previous question before decoding the rot13
for #6-7. Guvf zbyrphyr, jvgu purzvpny sbezhyn P2U2, vf gur
fvzcyrfg nyxlar. Anzr guvf zbyrphyr, juvpu vf pbzzbayl pbzovarq

7. Nyxlarf pna or erqhprq gb nyxrarf hfvat n yrnq-cbvfbarq Yvaqyne'f
pngnylfg, juvpu pbafvfgf cevznevyl bs n pregnva ryrzrag.
Anzr guvf ryrzrag, jvgu ngbzvp ahzore 46 naq purzvpny flzoby Cq.
 
8. Although the noble gases do not normally form bonds, scientists
have observed compounds between xenon and this most
electronegative element on the periodic table. Name this element
that is often added to water supplies to fight tooth decay.
*Warning*: We are looking for an *element* in this question,
not an ion.
 
9. A peptide bond is a covalent bond that forms between the
amine and carboxyl groups of two of these molecules. Name these
molecules, 9 of which cannot be produced naturally by the human
body and are called the "essential" ones.
 
10. The amino acid cystine ("siss-teen") comprises two molecules
of cysteine ("siss-tee-een") linked by a bond between two atoms
of this element. Name this smelly element, with atomic number
16, that cysteine contains in its thiol side chain.
 
 
* Game 007, Round 8 - Literature - Famous Jameses in Literature
 
Answer the following questions about authors and literary characters
with the name James.
 
1. This literary James authored the essay collection "Notes of a
Native Son" as well as a novel about the preacher's son John
Grimes, "Go Tell It on the Mountain". Name the author.
 
2. In episode 14 of James Joyce's "Ulysses", Leopold Bloom first
meets the character Stephen Dedalus. Dedalus himself is the
protagonist of what other James Joyce novel?
 
3. James Mercer are the first two names of this poet, who described
a 1-page assignment in his "Theme For English B". Name this
Harlem Renaissance poet, who also described a man whose "soul has
grown deep like the rivers" in his "The Negro Speaks Of Rivers".
 
4. James and Amy are American sibling poets with this surname.
Robert, another sibling with this surname, wrote about a creature
with her head in a jar of sour cream in "Skunk Hor" and a Civil
War memorial in "For The Union Dead". Give the common surname.
 
5. James Trotter is the protagonist of a 1961 children's novel
who famously takes a ride with a centipede, a silkworm, and
other insects in a humongous -- one of what type of thing?
 
6. Jim Hawkins is the protagonist of what 1881 Robert Louis
Stevenson novel where he teams up with Long John Silver and a
bunch of pirates to travel to the title location?
 
7. James Ngugi is the birth name of Ngugi wa Thiong'o, an author
from this country who wrote the novels "Petals of Blood" and "A
Grain of Wheat". His Gikuyu-language play "I Will Marry When I
Want" led to an arrest order from then-president Daniel Arap Moi.
Name the country.
 
8. James Maxwell Anderson, commonly known just as Maxwell Anderson,
may be best known for this play about Congressman Alan Mclean.
The play takes its *3-word title* from a line in "Romeo and
Juliet" where Mercutio wishes for "a plague on"... what?
 
9. In this 1956 play, James Tyrone and his son Jamie are members
of the central family that also includes his morphine-addicted
wife Mary. Name this play by Eugene O'Neill.
 
10. In this 1984 play, James Lingk is the gullible victim of
superstar real-estate salesman Ricky Roma, while George Aaronow
intimidates Dave Ross to steal the title leads from Williamson's
office. Name this play by David Mamet.

Argentina, Brazil. 4 for Erland, Dan Tilque, Björn, Pete,
and Stephen. 3 for Dan Blum and Calvin.
 
Paraguay was close; its triple point with the other two countries
is a river junction only about 15 miles downstream from the falls.
Uruguay is quite a bit farther away, and Venezula and Chile are
right out.

Guatemala. 4 for Joshua, Erland, Dan Tilque, Dan Blum, and Stephen.
2 for Marc.

Hagia (or Aya) Sophia. I scored "St. Sophia" as almost correct.
4 for Joshua, Erland, Dan Tilque, Björn, Dan Blum, Pete, Marc,
Stephen, and Bruce. 3 for Calvin.
 
> the Cunard line and launched in 1939 when it was the largest

RMS "Queen Elizabeth", later just "Elizabeth" and finally "Seawise
University". 4 for Dan Tilque and Stephen. 3 for Pete.
 
"Queen Elizabeth I" is wrong; the ship never had a number in its
name and it was named after the 20th-century Queen Elizabeth who
became the Queen Mother, not the 16th-century one now called Queen
Elizabeth I. (This also explains why the later ship named after this
one was the "Queen Elizabeth 2" rather than "Queen Elizabeth II".)
But I suspect that at least some of our QMs would have accepted this
answer, so it seemed to be fairest to score it as almost correct.
 
> US gold bullion supply, thus increasing the value of his
> own gold. This requires a daring raid on the US Gold Bullion
> Depository located on an army base in *what US state*?
 
Kentucky. 4 for Joshua, Erland, Dan Tilque, Björn, Dan Blum, Pete,
Calvin, Marc, Stephen, and Bruce.

> get a shot of James Bond walking by the Frank-Gehry-designed

> the canals for the children". Responds Mr. Wint, "the children
> will be thrilled". In *which European city* is this scene?
 
Amsterdam. 4 for Björn, Pete, Calvin, Marc, and Stephen.
3 for Dan Blum. 2 for Joshua.
 
Yeah, I know, this was an entertainment and/or literature question,
not a geography question. But that's the way they wrote it.
 
> as a staging point to help Soviet defector Koskov escape

Bratislava. (Slovakia. Austria is on its west, Hungary on its

> of a famous author; Bond resigns from the Secret Service
> and M demands that he hand over his gun. Quips James Bond,
> "I guess this is a farewell to arms". What *city* are they in?
 
Key West, Florida. (Where Ernest Hemingway lived.) 4 for Joshua,
Björn, Dan Blum, Jason, Pete, and Stephen.

Abdul Qadeer Khan. 4 for Stephen.

Francis Gary Powers. ("Bridge of Spies".) I scored "Gary Powell"
as almost correct. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Pete, Calvin, Marc,
Stephen, and Bruce. 3 for Jason.

RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #350 (GOLQ350)
 
Congratulations to the Village Idiots, the only team to completely identify my
stumper at #5, and consequently, the only team with a perfect score. Kudos
also to the EJs & Co., and Delphi Trivia Club, each of which missed only #5,
thereby drawing a tie for second place.
 
The Beatles' "Not A Second Time" proved to be not much of a tie breaker in that
the song was identified by every team but one.
 
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! Mike Weaver has already posted
GOLQ351.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #346 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
 
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart.
(Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65,
so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)
"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This flame in my heart
Is like an eternal fire
For every day it burns hotter
And every day it burns higher
#01) Anderson, Bill: "Still" (1963) [8] {-}
 
For hours he would ride on the range far and wide
When the night winds blow up a squall
His heart is a feather
In all kinds of weather
#02) Arnold, Eddie: "The Cattle Call" (1955) [69] {-}
 
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
#03) Bee Gees, The: "Words" (1968) [15] {-}
 
Oh, Daddy, Daddy, I beg of you
Whisper to Mommy, it's alright with you
#04) Berry, Chuck: "Sweet Little Sixteen" (1958) [2] {1}
 
I lost myself in thought today
And now I know I've got to stay
#05) Blackwell: "Wonderful" (1969) [89] {-}
 
Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dreams come true
#06) Dion and The Belmonts: "In The Still Of The Night" (1960) [38] {-}
 
Don't forget your promise to me
I have bought a home and a ring
And everything
#07) Domino, Fats: "Margie" (1959) [51] {-}
 
Note 1: Flip side to "I'm Ready"
 
Note 2: One of my favorite songwriters is John Prine. For those of you who,
like me, tend to mis-hear lyrics from time to time, you will enjoy this
entertaining YouTube, in which John Prine stops in the middle of his song,
"That's The Way The World Goes 'Round," to relate how some people have misheard
the lyrics to the song. He goes on to tell how, as a kid, he mis-heard the
above lyrics to "Margie." I purposely chose the above lyrics so I could share
this video with its amusing anecdote (although John wrongly states that
"Margie" went #1 across the country):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9DA-u2EhmA
 
Searched all over for a love
You're the one I'm thinking of
#08) Elegants, The: "Little Star" (1958) [1] {1}

'Cause a man needs a woman
To love him all the time
Remember, Sam, a true love is
So hard to find
#11) Horton, Johnny: "North to Alaska" (1960) [4] {10}
Note: Song reached number one on the country charts
 
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face (yeah)
His shoes are a terrible disgrace (look who's talking}
#12) Irwin, Big Dee (With Little Eva): "Swinging On A Star" (1963) [38] {-}
 
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart
#13) James, Sonny: "Young Love" (1956/57) [1] {3}
 
Note: I purposely selected this song in order to provide a tribute to Sonny
James, who passed away last month at the age of 87. Always loved the signature
guitar intro, simple as it was, that was influential in my wanting to learn to
play the guitar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ_YSy0s67w

Tell me just how you feel
Tell me that your love is real
And I'll give my heart to you
#14) Lee, Brenda: "That's All You Gotta Do" (1960) [6] {19}
 
Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine
#15) Mathis, Johnny: "Small World" (1959) [20] {-}

"Gypsy."
 
He loves Levi's and brown eyes
And wind blowing through his hair

If you want something to play with

You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
#18) Orbison, Roy: "Crying" (1961) [2] {-}
 
Woah, love songs that they sing
Wouldn't mean a single thing
Even though you're standing there
Ruby lips and golden hair
#19) Pitney, Gene: "If I Didn't Have A Dime (To Play The Jukebox)"
(1962) [58] {-}
 
Note: Flip side of #2 hit, "Only Love Can Break A Heart"
 
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
#20) Platters, The: "Twilight Time" (1958) [1] {1}
 
I'll grow up just as fast as I can
#21) Playmates, The: "Wait For Me" (1960) [37] {-}
 
Oh why, oh why
Was it my fate
#22) Poni-Tails, The: "Born Too Late" (1958) [7] {11}
 
Sigh that sigh and whisper oh, so low
Tell me that tonight will last forever
Say that you will leave me never
#23) Presley, Elvis, with The Jordanaires: "Kiss Me Quick" (1964) [34] {n/c}
 
Note: Previously included on Elvis' "Pot Luck" album, as well as the flip
side, "Suspicion," which was covered as a single by Terry Stafford (though
Elvis' recording preceded Stafford's obvious imitation. I always thought that
if Elvis released "Suspicion" right after he recorded it (prior to Stafford's
version), he'd have had a number one hit with the song.
 
And what I'd like
For you to say
Is you'll come home
To me each day
#24) Revere, Paul And The Raiders featuring Mark Lindsay: "Just Like Me"
(1965) [11] {-}

You and me endlessly

------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
#T1) Beatles, The: "Not A Second Time" (1963/64) {-}
 
Note: From the British album, "With The Beatles (Parlaphone, 1963) and the USA
album, "Meet The Beatles" (Capitol, 1964)
 
I'm gonna roll back the rug and nail up the door
Ain't-a gonna leave you never no more
#T2) Everly Brothers, The: "Hey Doll Baby" (1958) {@}
 
Note: Final track off of their debut album. Also recorded by the Clovers,
whose lyrics for those two lines differ ever so slightly.
