In 1862 in Virginia, forces for the Union army under Major > General Burnside made repeated futile attacks against Confederate > forces commanded by General Lee. Fredericksburg. 4 for Dan Blum. The description does somewhat resemble the first battle of Bull Run, but that was in 1861, Burnside was not yet a major general, and Lee was not involved (the Confederate commanders were Beauregard and Johnson). The second battle of Bull Run was in 1862, but this time Burnside was not involved (Pope was the Union commander) and it was mainly the Confederates who did the attacking. > 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. New Orleans. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Pete, and Marc. The Treaty of Ghent had already been signed on December 24, 1814, to end the war, but it wasn't effective until ratified by the US Senate on February 16. In any case, at the time of the battle nobody in North America even knew the treaty had been signed. > 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. Little Bighorn (or Custer's Last Stand). 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Pete, and Marc. The name refers to a lesser branch of the Bighorn or Big Horn River. > 9.

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 18 07:31PM -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 4 - Canadiana Geography - TTC Stations Where you are asked for a station name, the full name is required, e.g. "Sheppard-Yonge", not "Sheppard". 1. Part of the Line 1 subway extension into York Region, what is the only TTC station named for a highway? 2. What station is the northern terminus of that extension? 3. What station on the future Eglinton Crosstown LRT will be located at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue West? 4. When that line opens, Eglinton West will become an interchange station -- and is to be given what new name? 5. What station on Danforth is currently planned to become an interchange station if the Downtown Relief Line subway ever gets built? 6. What is the only TTC subway station in the City of Toronto without no connections to regular TTC bus or streetcar routes? 7.

What station was the original northern terminus of the Yonge subway? 10. Name *either* original terminus for the Bloor-Danforth subway when it opened in 1966. * Game 3, Round 6 - Arts - Oh, David! Whether as subject or as creator, the world of art is filled with Davids. I have rearranged these questions in order of the images on the handout: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/3-6/david.pdf Unless otherwise indicated, name the artist -- keeping in mind that, if "David" or "Goliath" does *not* appear in the question, then David is the *artist's first name*. There are two decoys, interspersed with the others, which you may answer if you like for fun, but for no points. 1. A, "Fire Down on the Labrador". 2. B, a self-portrait. 3. C, "David". 4. No, there is no image D. Image E is a 1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David -- give the *title*. 5. F, "A Bigger Splash". 6. G, "David and Uriah". 7. (Decoy.) H, "David". 8. I, "David with the Head of Goliath". 9. J, "David". 10. Give the *title* of image K, a 1784 painting by Jacques-Louis David. 11. (Decoy.) L, "Against Goliath 2". 12.
