| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 12 02:29PM -0500 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 9 - Canadiana - Well-Known Canadian "Saints" Canada, in several centuries and in some circles at least, has been considered a Christian nation. This round will ask questions about famous Canadian saints -- or at least, things related to Canada and named after saints. For questions #1-8, all answers will contain some form of the word "saint". 1. This is Canada's largest church, with construction completed in 1967. It is also famous due to its association with a Brother who was believed to possess healing powers. One wall is covered with thousands of crutches from those who were purportedly healed by visiting the church. What is the name of this church? 2. These two communities with the same name were a single city until the border between Canada and the US was established. They are now joined by the International Bridge. What is the name of both cities? 3. Church St. in Toronto was named after a predecessor of what present-day church at the corner with King St.? 4. The first location opened in 1951, becoming a chain with a presence throughout eastern Canada, but now has few locations outside its home province of Quebec. In 2016, the chain was bought by Cara Operations, owner of a rival chain. What is the name of this business? 5. What is the name of the 1992 TV miniseries that shared the story of sexual abuse in the Mt. Cashel Orphanage? 6. Located near Midland, this Jesuit settlement was established in 1639. It was the first European settlement in what is now known as Ontario. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1920. What is the name of this site? 7. This university in eastern Canada was founded in 1873 as one of the few institutions of higher education for women in Canada at a time when women could not vote. In 1925, It was awarded the right to grant its own degrees, making it the only independent women's college in the British Commonwealth. What is the name of this university? 8. This became Canada's first incorporated city in 1785. With an influx of Loyalists from the US and immigrants from Ireland, it grew as a global hub for shipping and shipbuilding. Its name comes from the feast day of the saint on which Champlain first saw and named the river which shares its name. What is the name of the city? For questions #9-10, the "saint" part is in the question, not the answer. 9. Known as the "Man from St-Malo", he was the first European to map and describe the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the shores of the St. Lawrence River. What was this man's name? 10. Why was the ship St. Louis denied entry to Canada on 1939-06-07? ** Game 2, Round 10 - Second Challenge Round * A. Rap A1.

Who did Kathleen Wynne appoint as her Deputy Premier in 2013? * F.

| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Mar 12 10:57AM +0100 Welcome to Rotating Quiz 284. This quiz consists of two entirely unrelated parts. The hope is that if one of the parts is not within your area of interest, you can still make a good score from the other part. In the first part, you are given a list of occupation or similar that a current world leader (head of state or head of government) had at some point in their life before they reached their current position. Your task is to give the *country* they rule. If you instead give the name of the leader, that works too, but there is no bonus for giving both. And if you give both, both must be correct.) In this part, each question is worth two points (because part 2 has twice as many questions). In the second part, you are given a list of names of pieces of classical music, sorted in chronological order. Your task is to uniquely identify the composer. That is, as long there only is one well-known composer with that name, it is sufficiently to give only the last name, but else you need to give more. For some pieces, I use the name in the original language, whereas for other I use an English translation of the title. The latter are marked with an asterisk. Thus, if the title is in English, but there is no asterisk, English is the original language for the title. In this part, each question is worth one point. As always, post answers to the newsgroup. Answer only from your knowledge without googling etc. I guess that I will post the answer slate on Saturday 17th. Part 1: 1) Bus driver 2) Chocolate king 3) Eye surgeon 4) Intelligence officer 5) Investment banker 6) PhD in Physical Chemistry 7) Professional football player 8) Welder Part 2: 1) Le quattro stagioni 2) * St Matthew Passion 3) Eine kleine Nacthmusik 4) Sinfonia eroica 5) * Trout Quintet 6) An der schönen blauen Donau 7) * Pictures at an Exhibition 8) * Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Pathétique 9) * Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World" 10) Finlandia 11) Also sprach Zarathustra 12) Le sacre du printemps 13) Concierto de Aranjuez 14) Fanfare for the Common Man 15) Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra 16) 4'33'' |
