| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 31 04:20PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-12-06, 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 Misplaced Modifiers 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". ** Final, Round 2 - History History: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-2/hist.jpg * British Prime Ministers 1. Who is regarded as the first British Prime Minister, in office 1721-42? 2. Name the first Welsh-speaking PM, who led Britain in the Great War. He was in office 1916-22. 3. Succeeding <answer 2> was the only PM born outside the British Isles. A Canadian by birth, he served one year, 1922-23. Who? * This Week in History 4. The United States wasn't Japan's only target on 1941-12-07. Which colony defended by British, Canadian, and Indian troops, as well as by a local defense force, was attacked just 8 hours after the Pearl Harbor bombing? 5. On 1915-12-08, the poem "In Flanders Fields" appeared anonymously in which magazine? 6. On 1917-12-09, Jerusalem was captured by British forces -- under which general? * Prisoners of the Tower of London In each case, name them. 7. These gangster brothers spent a short time in the tower in 1952 while awaiting a court-martial. (The surname will do.) 8. This young Quaker was held for 8 months in 1668 for blasphemy. He later organized a mass emigration of persecuted minorities. 9. The last *state* prisoner to be held in the tower was captured in Scotland and kept in the tower for 4 days. Later he was tried for war crimes. * Independence 10. The United States was the first country in the Western Hemisphere to gain independence from a European power. Which country was the second to do so -- from France, in 1804? 11. After years of helping Colombia assert control, in 1903 the United States did an about-face and assisted *which region* in its bid to separate from Colombia? 12. The "Carnation Revolution" of 1974 ended 40 years of authoritarian rule in this country and any support for maintaining its then empire. Within a year, five colonies in Africa and one more in Southeast Asia gained formal independence. Name that colonial power. * The Peninsular War This was the struggle between Napoleonic France and the forces of Spain, Portugal, and Britain. 13. The Peninsular War was triggered by an uprising of the citizens of Madrid against French troops occupying the city. The brutal suppression of this rebellion was captured in famous paintings by Goya. The anniversary of the uprising is still commemorated in Madrid and its date became the title of one of the paintings. What date in 1808 was this? 14. From 1808, the leader of the French Imperial forces and King of Spain was Napoléon Bonaparte's brother. Give his first name. 15. What is the *family name* of the military commander dispatched in 1808 to lead the British forces? He would encounter Napoléon again years later, this time under the title he acquired for his exploits in Spain. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "It was too crazy to be true, msb@vex.net | and too crazy to be false." --Tom Clancy My text in this article is in the public domain. |

Tim Tymkovich, but I'm also accepting Neil Gorsuch -- see below. 4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Joshua, Peter, Pete, Dan Tilque, and Marc. Some news sources, notably "Time" magazine, said that the case was an appeal of a 2008 ruling by Gorsuch -- and therefore I'm accepting that answer -- but, as Joshua indicated, they were wrong. It was actually a 2015 ruling by Tymkovich. Other news sources indicate that the relevance was that Tymkovich's ruling had relied on Gorsuch's as a key precedent; but still others say that this too is wrong and *really* the key precedent was a 1996 ruling by Deanell Tacha in yet another similar case, which Gorsuch should not be faulted for relying on. All these cases were decided in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. For myself, I'm not going into it any further. But if you want to, here are the three rulings by Tacha, Gorsuch, and Tymkovich: http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/95/95-1111.pdf http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/07/07-1304.pdf http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/14/14-1417.pdf And the Supreme Court ruling overturning Tymkovich: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/15-827_0pm1.pdf > 10. "America First" President Donald Trump has granted a permit > to build the Keystone XL pipeline -- to which non-American > company? TransCanada (accepting TransCanada PipeLines).
