| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 09 11:34AM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-01-22, 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 Bill Psychs 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 2, Round 7 - Entertainment - TV is Good Medicine In life and in death, hospitals and other medical facilities have been a stable TV-show setting for many years. We give you three characters (as listed at imdb.com) and you name the show. 1. Dr. Bob Kelso, Dr. Elliot Reid, Nurse Carla Espinosa. 2. Zoey Barkow, Gloria Akalitus, Kevin Peyton. 3. Sonny Corinthos, Elizabeth Webber, Dr. Patrick Drake. 4. Dr. Wayne Fiscus, Dr. Mark Craig, Dr. Philip Chandler. 5. Jack Hodgins, Camille Saroyan, Lance Sweets. 6. Sam Fujiyama, Sgt. Brill, Dr. Robert Asten. 7. Nurse Curly Spaulding, Vinnie Delpino, Dr. Benjamin Canfield. 8. Luka Kovac, Kerry Weaver, Mark Greene. 9. Dr. Kathryn Austin, Dr. Jeffrey Geiger, Dr. Aaron Shutt. 10. Dr. Lisa Cuddy, Dr. Robert Chase, Dr. James Wilson. * Game 2, Round 8 - Miscellaneous - US Aircraft Nicknames Military aircraft in the US are commonly given names or nicknames in addition to an alphanumeric designation. For example, as everyone who saw "Top Gun" knows, the F-14 is the Tomcat. For each of the following aircraft, mostly fighters, please give that name or nickname. Note: pay attention to the wording, as some questions contain hints. 1. The F-22 stealth fighter has a name straight out of the Jurassic. 2. The F-18 is a mainstay of the Canadian air force. It is due to be replaced soon, but plans to buy the new "super" version were cancelled because of trade disputes. 3. Designated the P-51, this "workhorse" of a fighter helped turn the tide in World War II. 4. Designated the P-38, this World War II fighter had a "shockingly" distinctive twin-engine, twin-boom design. 5. the F-8 single-engine fighter was the last to have guns as the primary weapon. It saw action in the Vietnam War and its name relates to the Knights Templar. 6. The SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft was the world's fastest aircraft until it was retired in 1998. 7. The F-15 air-superiority fighter has a distinctively American name. 8. Designated the F-4, this "ghostly" interceptor and fighter-bomber saw action in the Vietnam war. 9. The F-35 stealth multi-role fighter is part of the most expensive military weapons system program in history. 10. Designated the F-16, this fighter with an avian name has served in the air forces of 26 nations. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | Let me know if that is a convincing argument. msb@vex.net | If it is, I'll try it on myself. --Maria Conlon My text in this article is in the public domain. |

Some cats are born with more than the usual number of toes. > What is this condition known as? Polydactyly. 4 for Peter, Dan Blum, Bruce, Marc, and Joshua. There was a "Jeopardy!" contestant in mid-February who said he had a cat with 7 more toes than usual -- three feet with 6 toes each and one foot with 5, instead of what he called the usual 4 on each. Perhaps he wasn't counting the dewclaw as a toe, though. Polyploidy has to do with the number of chromosomes in each cell, not the number of digits on each limb. > 5. Some cats have eyes where one iris is a different color from > the other. What is this condition known as? Heterochromia. 4 for Dan Blum and Bruce. Of course, neither polydactyly nor heterochromia is limited to cats. For example: http://hdwallsource.com/img/2014/5/kate-bosworth-12386-12773-hd-wallpapers.jpg > 6.
