Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 25 updates in 10 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 09 10:50PM -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

** Final, Round 6 - Geography
 
Geography: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-6/geog.jpg
 
 
* Time Zone Abbreviations
 
If TRT, or UTC+3, is the time in Turkey, in what countries do the
following times apply?
 
1. CVT, UTC-1.
2. IST, UTC+5:30.
3. PET, UTC-5.
 
 
* Montreal Boroughs and Neighborhoods.
 
4. Two neighborhoods of Montreal form a single borough or
"arrondissement" which takes its name from both of them (like
the borough of "Hammersmith and Fulham" in London, England).
Both are former towns that were annexed by the city of Montreal
in 1910. The Décarie cuts through the middle of the borough.
One neighborhood is Côte-des-Neiges; name the other, where you
will find Concordia University's Loyola campus on Sherbrooke
Street West.
 
5. The area was originally known as Côte Ste-Catherine. Residents
include a substantial percentage of expatriates from France.
There is also a sizable Hasidic Jewish community, representing
about 20% of the population. Many Jewish synagogues, schools,
and businesses can be found on avenues Van Horne, Bernard,
and St-Viateur.
 
6. This is the borough with the most distinct neighborhoods --
including downtown, the historic district of Old Montreal,
Chinatown, the Gay Village and the Latin Quarter. Name it.
 
 
* Cities by Satellite Image
 
Name the metropolis shown in each satellite photo.
 
7. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-6/city/7.jpg
8. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-6/city/8.jpg
9. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-6/city/9.jpg
 
 
* Exonyms
 
An exonym is a place name that does not follow local usage.
For example, Italians say "Firenze", but in English the city's
traditional name is "Florence". What are the English names for
following places?
 
10. The city of Guangzhou.
11. The river Tevere.
12. The city of al-Qahirah.
 
 
* Istanbul
 
13. Name the strait that separates the European and the Asian
sides of Istanbul.
 
14. Looking across to the Golden Horn is the royal residence that
served the Ottoman sultans for over four centuries. Name the
palace of the sultans.
 
15. Name Istanbul's most famous square, which stands at the head of
Istiklal Avenue in the European part of the city. It was the
site of violent repression of anti-development demonstrations
in 2013.

This was the second of three rounds tied as the hardest in the
original game. (The first was Round 3, Arts & Literature.)

I suspect that some, and maybe all four, of these abbreviations were
made up by people who wanted there to be time zone abbreviations
that were usable in English and specific to those countries, such
as the maintainers of the TZ database. But even if that's true,
the questions are still answerable, so I've left them alone.

Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. "NDG" was sufficient.

Canton was the expected answer, but one entrant, who answered
Guangzhou, stated that is the name now usually used in English.
I find that it is, so I'm accepting that answer also. 4 for Dan,
Joshua, Erland, and Pete.
 
To test the entrant's claim, I typed "china map" into Google Images
and looked at the first 50 or so results. About 18 did not show
the city's name at all, or not legibly; for example, some maps
did not show any cities. Of the rest, I counted 23 that showed
just "Guangzhou" and 3 that just showed "Canton", and all of the
latter appeared to be about 50 years old. There were 6 that showed
both names, and a majority of these were in the style "Guangzhou
(Canton)". Now that's not exactly a broad-based survey of usage,
especially when you consider that in quite a few cases the same
maps showed up more than once in the search result. But I think
it's sufficient to conclude that the claim is correct.

The Dardanelles is the strait on the other side of the Sea of Marmara.

It was sort of a mix. I remembered that the name of the park started with
G(*) so I worked from there. Something with Gazi did not seem unlikely as
I believe that "gazi" means "hero" in Turkish.
 
(*) When I look at Google Maps, I see that the park is called Taksim Gezi
Parki.
 
I am little skeptic that this would be the most famous square, given that it
is in Besiktas north of the Golden Horn. There are certainly more
interesting squares in the old town. But the reference to the park made
it clear what place they referring to, so that's not really an objection.

** Final, Round 7 - Sports
 
Sports: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/spor.jpg
 
 
* Sports Monuments
 
For each picture, identify the athlete being honored.
 
1. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/monu/1.jpg
2. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/monu/2.jpg
3. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/monu/3.jpg
 
 
* Formula One Circuits
 
4. The Formula One Italian Grand Prix is run on one of the world's
oldest purpose-built tracks or circuits. For which nearby city
is that circuit named?
 
5. The Belgian F1 Grand Prix is run on a circuit in the village
of Francorchamps, but is popularly known by the name of a nearby
town famous for its mineral springs. Which town?
 
6. Since 1970, two circuits in Germany have been used for F1
Grand Prix racing. They are likewise named after nearby cities.
Name either.
 
 
* Canadian Curling
 
Identify the Canadian curler in each photo.
 
7. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/curl/7.jpg>.
Considered by many to be the greatest curler of all time,
he won 4 Briers, a world championship and a gold medal at the
2010 Olympics.
 
8. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/curl/8.jpg>.
From Manitoba, she's a 5-time national champion and her rink
won the gold medal at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.
 
9. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/curl/9.jpg>.
He appeared in 14 Briers, 8 representing Ontario and 6 with New
Brunswick, winning the title twice. Also a 2-time world champ
in 1987 and 1993.
 
 
* Men's Professional Tennis Players who are Not Roger Federer,
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, or Andy Murray
 
The Big Four have dominated men's professional tennis for the
last 10 years. Here are some questions about the players in
their shadows.
 
10. Although this 31-year-old Swiss player has never reached higher
than #3 in the rankings, he has three Grand Slam victories to
his credit, each time beating the world's #1 player. This year
it was Djokovic he beat at the US Open. Name him.
 
11. Born in Montenegro, this 25-year-old player has never reached
higher than #3 in the rankings. He is among the strongest
servers in the game. Though he has never won a Grand Slam title,
he made it to the final of this year's Wimbledon Championship,
losing to Andy Murray. Name him.
 
12. This 28-year-old Argentine beat both Nadal and Federer to
take the 2009 US Open, then disappeared due to injury. He came
back in 2011 to reach #4, was injured once more, and this year
returned yet again, losing a heartbreaking gold-medal match in
Rio to Andy Murray. Name him.
 
 
* Futility Streaks
 
Where applicable, you can give either the city or the team name
-- as long as this is unambiguous. For example, "Toronto" is
sufficient for the Maple Leafs, but "New York" is not sufficient
for the Rangers.
 
13. Founded in 1884, this city's soccer team had never won a
top-flight championship until last year, when they came out of
nowhere to win Britain's Premier League. Name the city.
 
14. We know the Maple Leafs have not won a Stanley Cup since 1967,
but at least they're not alone. One of the 1967 expansion
teams has *also* gone 49 years without a cup. Which one?
 
15. In Major League Baseball, 5 of the franchises founded in the
1960s have likewise not yet won a World Series. Name *any one*
of them.

The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Apr 12 10:32PM -0700

RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #362 (GOLQ362)
 
I think GOLQ-362 is a first, and has probably set a record, and I learned
"Something" pun intended) in the process:
 
I learned that, if you are a GOLQ fan, you are most likely also a Beatles fan!
For the first time that I am aware, every team - all 13 entrants - identified
every song, with one exception. We had a 12-way tie for first place, with
teams listed in the order I received their entries. The Dale Latimer team,
which I believe is a first-time entrant for a NAVAIRHEADS GOLQ, identified
every song in the main part of the quiz, missed only T2, and in spite of that
great entry, had to settle for LAST place! In spite of what I thought to be
an easily recognizable theme, I figured at least some teams would miss a few
songs, because there were some pretty obscure stumpers in the quiz. But, no!
So, Congratulations to all!
 
The theme, probably also identified by every team, though not every team
specifically mentioned it, was that all songs were covered by the Beatles. One
team identified the theme to be, "Beatles songs covered by others," which is
essentially the reverse. Howard from Team Teitelbaum gave the best
description, as follows:
 
"I would categorize the songs as follows (some fit in several groups):
 
1) Standard canon of commercially released songs:
#01, 04, 07, 08, 13, 16, 22, 25.
2) BBC recordings for "Saturday Club," "Pop Goes the Beatles," etc.:
#01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 07, 08, 09, 10, 13, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, T1, T2.
3) Their (failed) Decca audition on 1/1/62:
#04, 06, 17, 21, 24, T2.
4) Their final stint at the Star Club in Hamburg during December 1962:
#04, 10, 14, 19, 23, 24.
5) Recorded for Parlophone / Apple, but unreleased until the Anthology series:
#11, 12, 15, 18, 20."
 
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! Mike Weaver has already posted the
April 2017 quiz (GOLQ #363).

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #362 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.

Note: B-side to "Peggy Sue Got Married." According to Wikipedia, this is one
of six songs Holly recorded solo in his home in December, 1958, just before his
death. The songs were subsequently turned over to producer Jack Hansen, who
hired studio musicians and back-up vocalists Ray Charles Singers to replicate a
Crickets sound. Interestingly for me, the studio guitarist, the late Don
Arnone, is the dad of one of my longtime musician friends. Arnone appeared,
uncredited, on many top hits of the GOLQ era. Wikipedia notes that George
Harrison copied, note-for-note, Arnone's lead guitar part. The song is found
on the Beatles' recording of "Live at the BBC (Disc 1)."

Question is flawed. Sigourney Weaver is the correct answer, but it
was the 1989 Academy Awards. No actress was nominated for both
awards in 1988.

Since there were 7 entrants, and LCM(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) = 420, each
question was worth 420 points divided equally between everyone
who got it.
 
And the winner is STEPHEN PERRY with a score of 1,618 points.
Hearty congratulations, sir! And please set RQ 252 at your
earliest convenience.

Queen Anne. (Ruled 1702-14.) 140 for Dan Blum, Peter, and Calvin.
 
Her successor, King George I, was not her closest relative -- in fact
more than 50 people who would in the ordinary way have been in the
line of succession were skipped over. In 1701, however, Parliament
had passed the "Act of Settlement" for the purpose of ensuring that
the throne would remain in the hands of Protestants rather than
Catholics such as the deposed King James II or his descendants.
 
To this end, as well as prohibiting Catholics from taking the
throne, the act also specified explicitly who would be next in line
to inherit if neither then-King William III nor then-Pricess Anne
had any children. King James VI, Anne's grandfather, had had a
daughter Elizabeth who moved to what is now Germany and married
into royalty there; Elizabeth's daughter Sophie von der Pfalz,
known in English as the Electress Sophia of Hanover, now became
the designated successor. Sophia actually died just before Anne,
so it was her son, who incidentally did not speak English, who took
the British throne as George I.

And as for the contest title...
 
With a hand consisting of 4 jacks, 4 queens, 4 kings, and one ace,
most people today would open the bidding with a strong articificial
bid, probably either 1 club or 2 clubs depending on their system.
However, in traditional natural methods 4 no trump was the opening
bid for this 28 HCP balanced hand.
 
And it's also possible that someone in whose methods a 4NT opening
bid had no other meaning would try it on this hand with the intent
that it would be whatever version of Blackwood they played, despite
the significant probability that if partner has less than two aces
then the auction will end at an unmakeable contract.
