Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 21 updates in 4 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 20 03:33PM -0500

Welcome to Rotating Quiz #249, not containing a house.
 
I'd like to thank Don Piven for running RQ 248 and for producing
the unexpected result that I'm doing this now. The winner of
RQ 249, in turn, will be the first choice to set RQ 250, in
whatever manner they prefer.
 
Please answer these questions based only on your own knowledge;
put all of your answers in a single posting, quoting the question
before each one. You have 6 days from the time of posting, which
means that answer slates must be posted before about 4:40 pm
(by Toronto time, zone -4) on Sunday, March 26.
 
For questions #1-14, I describe something and you must say what
it is. Each of these answers is a single word. Some questions
may have multiple possible answers, but there is an overall pattern
or theme, and only an answer that fits will be acceptable.
 
Question #15 is worth 2 points and will be the first tiebreaker.
Second tiebreaker will be who scored on the hardest questions;
third tiebreaker will be who posted first.
 
Have fun.
 
 
1. This is the most populous city that is located along the
Ohio-Kentucky border.
 
2. This was the monarch's title in Germany, before that monarchy
fell at the end of World War I.
 
3. This was the monarch's title in Russia, before that monarchy
fell during World War I.
 
4. According to the CIA World Factbook, this country contains
just 811 km² (313 sq.mi.) of land spread across 3,500,000 km²
(1,350,000 sq.mi.) of the Pacific Ocean. It has 3 time zones
for just over 100,000 people and they formerly lay on both
sides of the International Date Line.
 
5. In mathematics and computer science, this name refers to a
defined procedure for deriving a specific result from specific
input data.
 
6. Someone stupid, a slow learner.
 
7. Dictionaries variously describe this color in terms of two or
more of red, pink, and purple.
 
8. A national park in California is named after this type of tree.
 
9. Sometimes used as a house plant, this colorful shrub has green
leaves, bright red bracts, and small yellow flowers.
 
10. This country lost its only section of seacoast in a war
motivated by the fact that, due to the area's extreme aridity,
nitrate-rich bird droppings accumulate there without being
washed away by rain.
 
11. This is a knitted sweater (or similar garment) that opens down
the full length of the front.
 
12. This is the capital of Saskatchewan.
 
13. This German car manufacturer was founded in 1910, and merged
in 1928 with three other companies. Its logo still refers
to that merger, but its separate identity was later restored.
It is now owned by Volkswagen. Name the company.
 
14. This international chain of stores has been described as
selling furniture kits rather than furniture.
 
15. Where the choice was not arbitrary, in what order were the
above questions listed?

A while back I posted a link to an article I was working on for
Wikipedia. Well, it's finally gotten to primetime with a much better
(shorter) name:
 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_non-US_cities_with_a_US_namesake>
 
Anyone can add to the list, although I expect I'll be the only one who
ever does. Some anonymous person did make some improvements, though. (If
that was you, Mark, thank you.)
