| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 20 04:13AM -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 7 - Entertainment - When They were Young Again I have rearranged the questions in order of the handout: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g10r7/young.pdf There were 5 decoys, which are interspersed with the others. Answer the decoys if you like for fun, but for no points. In each case you simply provide the name of the famous person shown here when they were young. We'll give you their profession and nationality, or less information for the decoys. In all cases the surname will suffice. 1. American actor. 2. British actor. 3. British actress. 4. British musician. 5. (Decoy) Actress. 6. British musician. 7. British comedian and activist. 8. American athlete. 9. American TV personality. 10. (Decoy) Leading woman in her field. 11. American actor. 12. (Decoy) Politician. 13. (Decoy) Actress. 14. (Decoy) Politician. 15. British actress. * Game 10, Round 8 - Miscellanous - Apples And once again I have rearranged the questions in order of the handout: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g10r8/apples.pdf This time there were no decoys. In each case you simply name the variety of apple. 1. Originally known as the Hawkeye, this is the most popular, most maligned, most ironically named of all apple varieties in the US. It now has thick skin, a one-note sweet flavor, and an often crumbly texture. 2. With a soft skin and softer flesh, this common apple strikes a level balance between sweet and acidic. 3. Considered an all-purpose apple, it can commonly be bought in bulk for low prices and is described as mild and sweet, with a juicy flesh. 4. If you're into tartness, this bitter old bird is your go-to. Its crisp, juicy flesh, however, does sweeten with storage. 5. The product of efforts to develop cold-weather apples, this apple keeps things simple with a light overall flavor profile that's more sweet than tart. It's also juicy and moderately crunchy. 6. Introduced in New York in the 1960s, this apple is a cross between <answers 1 and 2>, despite its thin skin. It is crisp and retains both the sweetness and tartness of its two parent apples. 7. Created in Japan this apple is a cross between <answer 1> and the Ralls Genet. It is described as dense, crisp and one of the sweetest of all varieties. 8. This New Zealand breed has been gaining in popularity in North America. Its skin is thin, concealing a crisp and juicy flesh that's fragrant and fairly sweet. 9. This apple has a creamy white interior and both sweet-and-tart flavors. It is relatively soft and functions as an all-purpose apple, which means you can bake it, cook it, or eat it raw. 10. This apple also originates from New Zealand and produces a firm, crisp bite and offers a pleasing balance between sweet and tart. These apples a good for baking as well as eating raw. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "You keep using that word.
