- QFTCIBSI Final, Round 9 answers: Entertainment - 1 Update
| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jun 09 12:46AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-12-08, 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 recent companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". ** Final, Round 10 - Challenge Round * A. US State Capitals A1. The name of which state capital can be found in the title of three different movies starring Mike Myers? A2. Which state capital is the only one *with a one-word name* that includes the name of the state that it's the capital of? A3. Which state capital shares its name with a famous club founded by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts in 1934? Hint: The club is in a *different state* from the capital city in question, and is 1,146 miles south of the state capital. * B. I.E., Fictional Characters From the clue, name the fictional character whose name *ends* in the letters "-ie". (Or the most commonly used word of it does; anyway, that's what you have to give.) B1. Which female fictional character, who first appeared on the big screen in 1943, was portrayed by 6 male members of the same family in a number of movies and a television series that aired from 1954 to 1973? B2. "Skipper" is the second-oldest daughter of George and Margaret Roberts of Willows, Wisconsin. Skipper is the younger sister of -- and 2ź inches shorter than -- which fictional woman who was first introduced in 1959? B3. According to "TV Guide", this character -- best known by his one-word nickname -- is the fourth-greatest TV character of all time. In 1977 he literally jumped the shark. * C. World Leaders by Photo Name these people, who are all leaders of G20 countries. (You must still name them even if they are no longer leaders.) C1. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-10/leader/c1.jpg C2. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-10/leader/c2.jpg C3. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-10/leader/c3.jpg * D. Judging a Book by its Cover We give the year a book was first published, and show part of its cover (not necessarily from the first edition). You give the title of the book. D1. 1996 -- http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-10/cover/d1.jpg D2. 1951 -- http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-10/cover/d2.jpg D3. 2003 -- http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-10/cover/d3.jpg * E. It's Elementary We name an element from the periodic table; you name the *next element in alphabetical order*. E1. Indium. E2. Argon. E3. Silicon. * F. Inaccurate Team Names F1. This team won 5 NBA titles in Minneapolis. In 1960 they kept the same name, despite moving to a city which is decidedly lacking in fresh water. Give the team's full current name. F2. This NBA team started in New Orleans. In 1979 they kept the same name, despite moving to this extremely unfunky location. Again, give the team's full current name. F3. This team is currently leading the Ukrainian Premier League and won the UEFA Cup in 2009. For the past two seasons, they've had to play their home games in Lviv, but the team's name remains unchanged. Name *either* the team or the city where they played until 2014. -- Mark Brader | "Warning! Drinking beer, wine or spirits during Toronto | pregnancy can harm your baby."
