Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 15 updates in 6 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 21 02:17PM -0500

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04,
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*)".
 
 
** Final, Round 10 - Challenge Round
 
* A. Snowboarders
 
In each case, name the snowboard champion.
 
A1. This US snowboarder is a 2-time Olympic gold-medalist (2006
and 2010), and holds the record for the most X Games gold
medals with 13.
 
A2. This Canadian snowboarder won gold at the 1998 Winter
Olympics has founded of a company selling branded medical
marijuana.
 
A3. This Canadian snowboarder and Olympic hopeful was seriously
injured in March during a back-country excursion.
 
 
* B. Science Prizes
 
Many lucrative prizes are awarded internationally in the sciences.
We give you a clue and name the prize; you identify the *scientific
discipline or activity* that it recognizes.
 
B1. The Constance Lieber Prize is awarded every 2 years.
Administered by the Baltimore-based Lieber Research
Institute, it rewards innovative research in which
discipline?
 
B2. The Lemelson-MIT Prize honors mid-career individuals for
achievements in what?
 
B3. Named after Canadian academic J.C. Fields, the Fields Medal
is awarded every 4 years and is one of the most prestigious
awards in what discipline?
 
 
* C. Mega-Brewery Purchases
 
These question are about transactions where a mega-brewery took
on a stake in a successful craft brewery. In each case, name
the mega-brewery.
 
C1. Toronto brewery Mill Street was taken over by which much
larger brewer in the fall of 2015?
 
C2. California-based brewery Lagunitas (known for such beers
as Maximus and Hop Stoopid) sold 50% of the company in
2015 for an estimated $500,000,000 US to which European
mega-brewer?
 
C3. The first major purchase of a craft brewer was the
acquisition of Goose Island in 2011. As a result of
subsequent mergers, that company is now the largest brewer
in the world. Name the mega-brewery.
 
 
* D. It's Not Venice
 
Many cities other than Venice have their own canals and watery
areas. From the photo and clue, name the picturesque city.
 
D1. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR10/canal1.jpg>.
Name this Belgian city, often referred to as the "Venice
of the North".
 
D2. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR10/canal2.jpg>.
Similarly, this western Indian city in Rajasthan Province
has been called the "Venice of the East".
 
D3. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR10/canal3.jpg>.
And this Atlantic port city of rivers, islands, and over
50 bridges is often called the "Brazilian Venice".
 
 
* E. Hip-Hop History
 
It's been 44 years since hip-hop emerged from the South Bronx at
parties arranged by DJ Kool Herc. That means it has now had as
long a history of influence as rock 'n roll had had in the 1990s.
 
E1. Son of a Black Panther mother in jail on bombing charges,
this rapper acquired legendary status with his graphic
accounts of ghetto life and East Coast / West Coast feuds.
He was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996.
 
E2. This crew was a leader in the socially conscious rap movement
of the 1980s. The group became known for their emphatic
politics and for contributing an iconic song to Spike Lee's
movie "Do the Right Thing".
 
E3. This Philadelphia group, formed in 1987, broke new ground
by adding real instruments and writing sophisticated lyrics.
They are currently the house band for NBC's "Late Night
with Jimmy Fallon".
 
 
* F. 1960s Novels
 
We give you the opening line; you name the novel written in
the 1960s.
 
F1. "It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted
the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in
New York."
 
F2. "They're out there. Black boys in white suits up before
me to commit sex acts in the hall and get it mopped up
before I can catch them."
 
F3. "Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel
Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon
when his father took him to discover ice."

This is Rotating Quiz #268. Entries must be posted by Sunday,
September 24th, 2017 at 11 PM (Eastern Daylight Time).
 
Usual rules: no looking anything up, no discussion, etc. The winner
gets to create the next RQ.
 
Please post your answers to all questions in a single followup in the
newsgroup, quoting the questions and placing your answer below each
one. Only one answer is allowed per question.
 
This quiz has a theme which affects the answers but not the
scoring. If the answer is the name of a person who is commonly known
by a personal name and surname, the surname must be provided; if any
other part of the name is provided it must be correct or the answer
will not score. (The same rule applies if the answer contains the
names of multiple people). If the answer is not the name of a person
the entire name of the entity must be provided. Each correct answer is
worth 2 points, or 1 if it's almost correct somehow.
 
In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be whoever scored the most
points on the hardest questions (defined post-facto as the ones which
the fewest people got any points on). Second tiebreaker will be
posting order.
 
1. This American comedian hosted a number of similar television shows
at the height of his career, starting with a local Detroit show in
1953. One of his trademarks was a variety of puppet characters such as
White Fang and Pookie the Lion; the other was getting hit in the face
by a pie.
 
2. This American reality show contestant is best known for winning the
first season of Survivor, although he has since appeared on other
shows. More recently he served prison time for tax evasion.
 
3. This alcohol brand, primarily known for bourbon, began in Kentucky
in 1795 although it did not acquire its current name until some time
later. It is currently owned by Suntory Holdings.
 
4. This botanical term refers to edible objects produced by woody
plants; soft <answer 4> includes things such as drupes and (true)
berries, while hard <answer 4> includes things such as acorns.
 
5. This longest-serving American Secretary of State was instrumental
in founding the United Nations, the charter for which was drafted by
him and his staff in 1943. He received the 1945 Nobel Peace Prize for
this and other work.
 
6. This self-proclaimed "King of All Media" was an early "shock jock,"
locally in Washington DC and New York City in the early 1980s and
syndicated nationally from 1986-2005. Since then he has been heard on
SiriusXM and was a judge on America's Got Talent for several seasons.
 
7. This German city is the capital of and largest city in
Schleswig-Holstein. Because of its location on the Baltic Sea it is a
maritime hub. It hosts the <answer 7> Regatta (or <answer 7> week),
the largest sailing event in the world, every June. It was made the
base for the Prussian/German Baltic fleet in 1865 and was the site of
the sailor's mutiny that sparked the revolution that toppled the
Kaiser.
 
8. This English man and American woman were an extremely famous pair
of ballroom dancers and dance teachers in the early 20th century; they
are credited with popularizing numerous dances such as the foxtrot and
the female half of the couple was a major fashion icon. Their career
was cut short by the male half's service in World War I and subsequent
death on a training flight. They are probably best known today for the
1939 movie The Story of <answer 8> which starred Fred Astaire and
Ginger Rogers.
 
9. This fictional American counter-intelligence agent is the
protagonist of 27 novels by Donald Hamilton, beginning with Death of a
Citizen and ending with The Damagers. In the 1960s four movies
ostensibly based on the books were produced, but they were spoofs
starring Dean Martin and had little actual relation to the books.
 
10. This card game was developed from a version of Whist over a number
of iterations in the early 20th century. In its final form it was
extremely popular in the US in the 1930s and 40s, with one survey
indicating that 44% of households played it at some point. While it
declined in popularity after that, it is still played in the US and
many other countries.

That depends on exactly how he's calculating things. If it's by
summing the other correct answers to the questions then it's a tie
(assuming Erland's answer to c is ignored). If it's by comparing
single hardest question first, then second, etc., you would beat me.

For the hardest-question tiebrakers, it looks like Dan and I tied there
too. Which means it goes to the next tiebreaker: who posted first.
According to my newsreader, Dan's post was before mine.
