| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 21 05:41PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-10-23, 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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". ** Game 5, Round 9 - Science - The Periodic Table The following is a round on the periodic table. The handout: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g5r9/mendel.png is provided to help you visualize the table and the elements' relations to each other. 1. Each row in the periodic table is grouped based on its highest unexcited electron energy level, similar to an orbit around the nucleus. What is the term used for each row? 2. Elements in each column in the periodic table share the same number of valence electrons, which governs their bonding behavior. What is the name for a column? 3. The number in the top left of the each element's box indicates the number of protons that are found in the element's nucleus. What is this called? 4. The number just below each element's abbreviation is called its atomic mass. What is the simple approximation to estimate the atomic mass in whole numbers? 5. Please decode the rot13 for this question only after you have finished with the earlier ones.

There are a number of other trends that can be observed looking at the periodic table. One such trend is an element's ability to attract the electrons in an atomic bond. Moving vertically or horizontally in the table, this value generally increases toward the top or the right side. What is this chemical characteristic known as? 7. Another characteristic for each element is the amount of energy needed to remove its first valence electron, or its most loosely attracted electron. This also generally increases toward the top or the right side of the table. What is the term for this amount of energy? 8. Elements in the far right column have no valence electrons, instead having full electron orbital shells. Because of this they are incredibly unreactive, almost always existing in monatomic states. What is the modern name for these elements? 9. Elements in the far left column have only one valence electron and so have a low <answer 7>, readily losing that electron to form a cation ["CAT-eye-on"]. They are known to react violently with water, but form weaker bonds with metallic elements. What are these elements known as? 10. The light blue elements just to the right of the middle are ones that demonstrate both metallic and non-metallic characteristics. They may look metallic, but are often brittle and cannot conduct electricity well. Collectively they are sometimes known as semimetals, but what is the other name for them, used in chemistry? ** Game 5, Round 10 - Tragically Challenge Round This week's challenge round categories are in honor of the passing of Gord Downie. * A. Entertainment: "Grace, Too" A1. What 1953 film is credited with launching Grace Kelly's movie career? Her performance earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. It featured Clark Gable and Ava Gardner. A2. Grace Kelly's last movie before retiring from acting to marry Prince Rainier III was a 1956 musical comedy based on the play "The Philadelphia Story". She starred alongside Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. What was the movie's title? * B. Science: "Little Bones" B1. The three smallest bones in the body are found in the middle ear. They are known individually as the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup -- but what is the collective name for this group of bones? (No, don't try "ear bones".) B2. There are a number of small bones in your wrist, including the trapezoid, pisiform, and hamate. What is the collective name given to this group of bones? * C. Arts & Literature: "38 Years Old" The following questions deal with artists and authors who died at age 38. Name them. C1. This Italian painter was considered one of the major influences on the Baroque style due to his realistic portrayal of humans and use of lighting. He was considered a rival of Michelangelo, and died in 1610 due to an unknown disease. Famous works include "Beheading of St. John the Baptist", "Bacchus", and "Head of Medusa". C2. This Victorian author died due to complications during her pregnancy in 1855. Only three novels were published in her lifetime: the two less wildly popular ones were "Shirley" and "Villette". * D. History: "Nautical Disaster" D1. One of the worst nautical disasters in history happened here in Canada -- during World War I in Halifax, when a French munitions ship collided with a Norwegian ship. Name *either* ship involved in the disaster, which resulted in over 1,900 deaths. D2. The all-time worst nautical disaster in non-war conditions occurred when the ferry Doña Paz collided with an oil tanker in the Tablas Strait. Due to the illegal sale of tickets and the vessel being overloaded, it is believed over 4,000 people died in the incident. What national capital city was the ferry headed towards? * E. Sports: "Courage" E1. In the 1988 NLCS this player injured both his left hamstring and his right knee, and many expected him out for the World Series. He ended up pinch-hitting, and in the bottom of the 9th hit a 2-run walk off home run in the first game of the World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who would go on to win the Series. Name him. E2. This 49ers Hall of Fame safety/cornerback had his pinky crushed during play in 1985. In preference to reconstructive surgery that would put him out for a whole season, he decided to have the finder amputated so he could play. Who was he? * F. Geography: "Bobcaygeon" F1. Bobcaygeon is located in central-east Ontario on a short river of the same name, which forms a part of what major waterway? F2. Bobcaygeon is now part of the City of Kawartha Lakes, which for both federal and provincial purposes is in an electoral district with a three-part name. One part of this name is Kawartha Lakes; give the other two parts, which refer to neighboring communities.

| Marc Dashevsky <usenet@MarcDashevsky.com>: Nov 21 05:15PM -0600 Thanks, Calvin. I got #2 wrong but a score of 3 still has me winning. If there are other score changes that affect the outcome, speak up. Otherwise I'll post a quiz on Friday. In article <6910a5dc-04e2-443e-9d71-7dc88a7ceaa1@googlegroups.com>, 334152@gmail.com says... -- Replace "usenet" with "marc" in the e-mail address. |
