| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Dec 29 10:15PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-13, 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 8, Round 9 - Science - Where in the Body? In which organ of the body would you find these parts? 1. Kupffer cells, central portal area, bile canaliculi? 2. Loop of Henie, juxtaglomerular apparatus, renal pyramids? 3. Bronchiole, alveoli, pneumocytes? 4. Fundus, cardiac sphincter, gastric pit? 5. White pulp, red pulp, Malpighian corpuscles? 6. Broad ligament, infundibulum, corpus luteum (sometimes)? And in which part of the body would you find these bones? 7. Frontal bone, zygomatic bone, mandible? 8. Ischium, ilium, sacrum. 9. Coracoid process, glenoid fossa, scapular spine? 10. Calcaneus, talus, phalanges? ** Game 8, Round 10 - Cynical Challenge Round Tonight's challenge round consists of a cynic's descriptions. Who or what is Donnie Downer talking about in each case? * A. Head-Scratching Music A1. Wow, this might be the worst band in the history of music. They call their music "Hardcore hip-hop?" There idiot fans call themsevles "juggalos"? And what's with the bizarre makeup? They look like a scary Ronald McDonald and Bozo. Jeez, the '90s had some terrible bands. A2. The music is okay, but what in the world is with the costume changes? First a jacket covered in Kermit the Frog stuffed animals, then a suit made out of real meat? Did she have a bad childhood or was she just born that way? * B. *That* Made "Time" Magazine's Top 100 Books of All Time? B1. I didn't like it. Hard to follow with all the "unstuck in time" shenanigans. Present day, back to World War II, back and forth, back and forth. And then I couldn't tell whether or not he was really killed by that soldier, or if he was still living in a display about humans in a zoo on some alien planet. B2. They call this a novel? It's just a long comic book with fake superheroes and a glowing blue giant dude, that supposedly won the Vietnam War! * C. Stupid Board Games C1. But there's no skill involved, all you do is spin the spinner and decide whether or not you want to buy insurance. What a dumb game! C2. But no one ever finishes the game, it takes forever and we always end up just calling it when someone builds the first hotel. * D. Stupid Fads D1. I can't believe people actually bought that. You stick a stone in a fancy box and charge a fortune? And it comes with a -- "Trainer's Manual"? I guess some people in the '70s were really lonely. And guess what dumb name they gave it! D2. People actually thought they would get merpeople from this stupid kit? You throw some tiny eggs in salt water and they come instantly to life, and and the ad says "So eager to please, they can easly be trained". For frick's sake, they're just *brine shrimp*. But guess what dumb name they gave them! * E. Where in Canada was that Pathetic Tourist Trap? E1. That was soooo boring to see. Reversing tides? The water is flowing in one direction, and you have to wait 3 hours to see it flow back the other way. Remember that city? E2. There wasn't much to it, just a 28-foot-tall goose statue. So what if the town is named "Goose" in some language? Good thing this was along the way, I can't imagine someone would come all the way to the middle of nowhere just to see this. Remember that town? * F. You Call *That* Art? F1. How dare the National Gallery use our public money for that painting they bought in 1993, just called "No. 16" -- and they spent $1,800,000 on it to boot! It's garbage, just a white blob on a red background with a horizontal stripe through it. What talentless artist painted that? F2. How dare the National Gallery use our public money for that painting they bought in 1990, "Voice of Fire", and spend more than $1,700,000 on it to boot! It's garbage, just three vertical stripes. What talentless artist painted that? -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "What Europe needs is a fresh, unused mind." msb@vex.net | -- Foreign Correspondent My text in this article is in the public domain. |
