Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 13 updates in 5 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): May 13 12:14AM -0500

Mark Brader:
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-01-23,
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 5 Easy Pieces 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*)".
 
 
* Game 2, Round 7 - Entertainment - "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"
 
In 1968 movie critic Pauline Kael published a quintessential film
book titled "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang". In each case name the movie
described -- which will have either "Kiss" or "Bang" in its title.
 
1. Ralph Meeker plays Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer in this
film-noir thriller with an apocalyptic ending, directed by
Robert Aldrich and released in 1955.
 
2. Robert De Niro plays a halfwit catcher with a terminal illness
in this 1973 baseball drama.
 
3. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer star in this 2005 murder
mystery that brings together a private eye, a struggling
actress, and a thief masquerading as an actor.
 
4. Billy Wilder directed this 1964 comedy about a sleazebag crooner,
played by Dean Martin, whose car breaks down in small-town
America -- where a gas jockey and aspiring songwriter, played
by Ray Walston, wants to sell Dean his songs. Dean hears
that Walston has a hot wife, played by Felicia Farr, and
Walston promises to pimp her out to the crooner -- but instead
substitutes a local hooker, played by Kim Novak.
 
5. This 1985 drama stars William Hurt as a flamboyantly gay prisoner
who tells stories to his cellmate, played by Raúl Juliá.
His tales come across like old movies, but they reveal a subtle
meaning.
 
6. This 1968 British musical adventure, co-written by Roald Dahl,
is about a down-on-his-luck inventor who turns his jalopy into
a flying fantasy car for his children.
 
7. Stanley Kubrick's second film, released in 1955, is about a
29-year-old welterweight boxer, at the end of his career,
who rescues his neighbor who's been kidnapped.
 
8. This iconic 1947 film noir features Victor Mature as an ex-con
trying to go straight. In his first role, Richard Widmark plays
Mature's former partner; he is best remembered for the scene
in which he straps an elderly woman into a wheelchair and sends
her down a staircase. Ouch! The movie was remade in 1995, but
if it matters, we're talking about the original version's title.
 
9. Directed by John Frankenheimer, this 1989 movie starred Don
Johnson as a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who uncovers
a plot involving hate literature, white-supremacist militias,
and arms trafficking. Filmed in Calgary, the movie also features
Penelope Ann Miller.
 
10. Geena Davis plays an amnesiac single mom trying to discover
her past and enlisting the aid of a private investigator played
by Samuel L. Jackson, in this convoluted thriller shot in the
Greater Toronto Area in 1995.
 
 
* Game 2, Round 8 - Geography - Russia
 
Given how much Russia is in the news lately, perhaps we should
all bone up on things Russian. The following questions concern
geography within the current borders of what is now officially
called the Russian Federation.
 
For all place names, give their conventional transcription used
in English.
 
1. Found in the Caucasus, this 18,510-foot (5,642 m) mountain
is the highest in Russia. Ancient Greek mythology saw it as
the place where Zeus chained Prometheus. Name it.
 
2. At 2,294 miles (3,692 km) in length, what is the longest river
in Russia? It rises in hills northwest of Moscow and empties
into the Caspian Sea.
 
3. This freshwater lake in Russia is the largest by volume and
deepest in the world. With a maximum depth of 5,387 feet
(1,642 m), it contains 1/5 of the world's fresh water. What is
its name?
 
4. At 6,800 sq.mi. (17,700 km²), this lake is the largest within
Russia by surface area. A methane lake on Saturn's moon Titan
is named after it. Name the Russian lake.
 
5. Canada's international border with the US, at 5,525 miles
(8,891 km), is still the longest between two countries.
Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation
has had the second-largest international border. With a length
of 4,254 miles (6,846 km), this Russian border is shared with
which country?
 
6. Ignoring disputed territories, Russia has land borders today
with 14 countries altogether -- 8 former Soviet republics and
6 others. Which of the second group -- which country that
was not a Soviet republic, but does border Russia -- extends
farthest west?
 
7. Currently, Russia boasts 26 UNESCO World Heritage Sites -- 10
natural and 16 cultural. One of the natural sites features some
of the world's most magnificent volcanoes -- and is located on
what Far East Russian peninsula?
 
8. Considered by many scientists to be the oldest in the world,
this mountain range in Russia is found far to the west of
<answer 7> and divides European Russia from Asian Russia.
What is it?
 
9. Russia once shared this North Pacific island with Japan.
It is Russia's largest. Name it.
 
10. This Far North Russian archipelago separates the Barents Sea
from the Kara Sea in the Arctic Ocean, and forms an extension
of <answer 8>. It briefly served as a Nazi seaplane base,
established by U-boats. In the Cold War era, Russia tested more
than 200 nuclear devices on the archipelago. What is it called?

(If memory serves, the island was only shared from 1905 to 1945.
Russia had to cede part of it after the disastrous war against
Japan in 1904-05.)

Danish West Indies -- now the US Virgin Islands. Either answer

Zsa Zsa Gabor. (Or her real name, Sári Gabor. The first name was
required in either case.) 4 for Peter, Marc, Bruce, Erland, Pete,
Jason, Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Calvin. 3 for Dan Blum.
 
According to the IMDB, she was married 9 times. Her first 7 marriages
varied in duration from about 18 months up to a bit over 6 years;
then her 8th marriage was just 2 days long -- but her 9th one lasted
30 years!

2 for Dan Blum.

Seattle Metropolitans.
 
In fact, they're the *only* now-defunct US-based team to have won
the Cup. All 14 other US-based winners were, and in each case still
are, NHL teams; but in 1917 the Cup was contested between the two
major leagues then existing, the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and
the National Hockey Association. Over the following decade the NHL
replaced the NHA, then a third major league was started in western
Canada and also contended for the Cup, then the two western leagues
merged, then the merged league folded and the Cup passed into the
control of the NHL.
 
> 5. Which ruler abdicated the throne on 1917-03-15?
 
Tsar Nicholas II (Russia). 4 for Dan Blum, Erland, Jason, Dan Tilque,
and Joshua. 3 for Marc.
 
> 6. Which 6-day battle that cost more than 6,500 Canadians their
> lives began on 1917-04-09?
 
Vimy Ridge.
 
It was part of the Arras offensive and, I hear, not considered an
important part by many outside Canada. For its significance --
or not -- within Canada, see:
 
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/battle-of-vimy-ridge-first-world-war/article34515113/
 
I don't know why the question and the article give significantly
different numbers of Canadian deaths.
 
> 7. On 1917-04-16, which man issued his radical April Theses?
 
Vladimir Lenin. 4 for Peter, Erland, Pete, Jason, and Dan Tilque.
3 for Dan Blum.

Atlanta. 4 for Peter, Marc, and Bruce.

It caught fire when it collided with another ship, the Imo.
