- Calvin's Quiz #514 - 7 Updates
| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 17 03:33AM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-27, 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 10, Round 4 - Art - Last Works As this is the last game of the season, some of the rounds will have a theme of "lasts" or "endings". The following paintings are all final paintings from notable artists. I have rearranged the round in order of the handout: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g10r4/final.pdf From the title (sometimes translated into English) and the year of the painting, you name the artist. There were 3 decoys, which are interspersed with the others. Identify those artists as well if you like for fun, but for no points. 1. "La Gerbe" (1953). 2. "A Bar at the Folies Bergère" (1882). 3. "Christ Carrying the Cross" (1535). 4. "Victory Boogie Woogie" (1944). 5. Untitled (1940). 6. (Decoy) Self-portrait (1972). 7. (Decoy) "The Gardener Vallier" (1906). 8. (Decoy) "The Watermelons" (1957). 9. "Viva la Vida Watermelons" (1954). 10. "The Beyond" (1972). 11. "The Swallow's Tail" (1983). 12. "Simeon with the Christ Child in the Temple" (1669). 13. "Two Dancers Resting" (1896). * Game 10, Round 6 - Sports - Hockey Hall of Fame This Year's Hockey Hall of Fame induction weekend was earlier this month. So, a round of questions on that topic. Where a team is asked for, you may give either part, e.g. "Toronto" or "Maple Leafs", as long as this is unambiguous. 1. Each year the Hall of Fame honors a newspaper writer and a broadcaster for their career contributions. The broadcast award is named for which pioneer hockey broadcaster? 2. Who resigned his Hockey Hall of Fame membership in 1998 after pleading guilty to criminal charges? 3. The Hockey Hall of Fame was launched in 1945, but did not get a permanent home until 1961, when it was on the CNE grounds. In fact Toronto was not the first choice for the site. Which eastern Ontario city originally go the nod, but then couldn't get the project done? Now, in keeping with the theme of "lasts", or at least "latests" in this case, all of the remaining questions are about people admitted to the Hall of Fame this year. 4. Women's hockey is represented in this year's selections by an 8-time world champion and 2-time Olympic gold medalist. Name this Quebec native, who becomes the 5th woman player in the Hall of Fame 5. Joining the Hall this year as a builder is Jeremy Jacobs, the owner since 1975 of which "Original Six" NHL team? 6. Four NHL players were admitted this year: Dave Andreychuk, Paul Kariya, Mark Recchi, and Temmu Selanne. Which one of them played for the Toronto Maple Leafs? Please decode the rot13 for the remaining questions only after you have finished with #7. 7.
