| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 15 04:22PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-01-29, 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 3, Round 2 - History - Battles In each case, name the battle described. 1. In 490 BC, a large Persian force was destroyed by a smaller Athenian force. 2. In 216 BC, Hannibal's Carthaginian army defeated the larger army of the Roman Republic. 3. In 208, close to the Yangtze River, Liu Bei's and Sun Quan's combined forces destroyed Cao Cao's much larger navy. This battle was popularized by its depiction in the historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". 4. In 1314, near Stirling Castle, a Scottish army under King Robert I defeated an English army more than twice their number. 5. In 1415, a large French army was defeated by Henry V's much smaller army. 6. In 1862 in Virginia, forces for the Union army under Major General Burnside made repeated futile attacks against Confederate forces commanded by General Lee. 7. On January 8, 1815, a British force of more than 8,000 men attacked positions manned by 4,000 Americans commanded by General Andrew Jackson, but were repelled. This was the last major battle of the War of 1812. 8. In 1876, in Montana Territory, a certain lieutenant-colonel attacked a superior force of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors. He was killed, along with most of his men. 9. In 1905, the Russian Baltic fleet travelled halfway around the world before being defeated by the Japanese fleet in the straits for which the battle is named. 10. This battle was one of the major turning points of World War II. After months of fighting in and around the eponymous city, German forces were finally surrounded by Soviet forces and defeated in February 1943. * Game 3, Round 3 - Entertainment - Voice Acting in Animated Disney Movies Who provided the voice of... 1. The Genie in "Aladdin"? 2. Iago in "Aladdin"? 3. Scar in "The Lion King"? 4. Mufasa in "The Lion King"? 5. Mrs. Potts (the teapot) in "Beauty and the Beast" (1991)? 6. Bernard the mouse, in "The Rescuers" and "The Rescuers Down Under"? 7. John Smith in "Pocahontas"? 8. Dory, in "Finding Nemo" and "Finding Dory"? 9. Buzz Lightyear, in "Toy Story", "Toy Story 2", and "Toy Story 3"? 10. Mike (the round, one-eyed monster) in "Monsters Inc."? -- Mark Brader | "The conversation never became heated, which would Toronto | have been difficult in any argument where there msb@vex.net | is a built-in cooling-down period between any | remark and its answer." --Hal Clement, STAR LIGHT My text in this article is in the public domain. |

Game 2 is over and it's another close one -- again JOSHUA KREITZER squeaks out a win, this time by 3 points over Dan. But not the same Dan as last time! Hearty congratulations to Joshua, anyway! > who was believed to possess healing powers.

Jacques Cartier. 4 for Dan Tilque and Dan Blum. > 10. Why was the ship St. Louis denied entry to Canada on 1939-06-07? Canada refused to accept its passengers, 900-plus Jewish refugees seeking asylum from Nazi persecution. "Jewish" was required, and "refugees" or similar was required for full points. 4 for Joshua. 3 for Dan Tilque, Pete, and Marc. Not one of Canada's shining moments, for sure, but Canada wasn't alone. The passengers had already been refused admission to Cuba and the US. This international reaction was exactly what the Germans had been anticipating when they allowed the ship to leave in the first place. In the end it returned to Europe, where four countries agreed to accept the passengers -- but three of those countries were under German control by 1940, and over 250 of the refugees ended up dying in concentration camps. In 1976 the events were dramatized in the movie "Voyage of the Damned". > ** Game 2, Round 10 - Second Challenge Round This was the easiest round in the original game. > * A.

"The Two Towers", same as in the original books -- although not referring to the same two towers. 4 for everyone. In both versions one of the title towers is Orthanc, which Saruman took possession of before he was corrupted by Sauron. In the original book the other tower is Minas Morgul, which had been captured from Gondor for Sauron by the Nazgūl 1,000 years earlier; but in the movie it's Barad-dūr, Sauron's own fortress in Mordor. > where no one was appointed to this position; in fact, > the last Deputy Prime Minister was Liberal Anne McLellan. > What was her last year in that position, within 1 year? 2006 (accepting 2005-07). 2 for Joshua. > E2.
