Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 16 updates in 3 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): May 08 09:56PM -0500

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-03-05,
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 7, Round 8 - Geography - Walled Cities of the World
 
Please see the 2-page handout at:
 
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-8/wall.pdf
 
I have rearranged the questions in order of the photos. There were
2 decoys, which are interspersed with the others; you may answer
the decoys if you wish for fun, but for no points.
 
In each case just name the *present-day country* where the walled
city is located. (Or if you want to show off, name the city *and*
country.)
 
1. [Photo A] (decoy)
 
2. [B] This city boasts 87 towers and a sentry path along its
ramparts. It's also notable for having an intact exterior wall,
unlike most walled cities, which suffer from breaks or damage.
 
3. [C] With its first fortifications constructed around 1044 and
the current fortress built in the 15th century, this is one of
the oldest and best-preserved walled cities in Eastern Europe.
It is known as the birthplace of its country.
 
4. [D] Located in the Sous Valley, this town is entirely enclosed
by ramparts. Sometimes called "Little Marrakesh", the city's
famous red-mud walls hide a lively souq and market scene with
views of the snowy High Atlas Mountains beyond.
 
5. [E] This 11th-century walled fort looks a bit like a sandcastle,
nicknamed the "Golden City" after its characteristic sandy hue.
Over 5,000 people still live and work inside its walls, making
this remote destination worth the trek.
 
6. [F] This island city, with some interruptions under frequent
occupations by other powers, served as its country's capital
from antiquity until the medieval period. The city is still
confined within its medieval walls, and has a population of
just under 300. According to tradition it was here that in
60 AD the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being
shipwrecked on the Islands.
 
7. [G] No longer a sleepy, under-the-radar sea town, this UNESCO
World Heritage Site managed to survive a major earthquake in
1667 and the armed conflict of the 1990s. Take a walk along
the well-preserved city walls and enjoy the gorgeous ocean views.
 
8. [H] Sometimes referred to as the "Manhattan of the Desert"
for its tiny alleys and soaring towers, this 1,700-year-old
city used sun-dried mud brick walls to create a walled fortress.
According to UNESCO, this is one of the oldest and best examples
of urban planning based on vertical construction.
 
9. [I] According to UNESCO, the 32-foot-high brick walls protect
the inner town of the old Khiva oasis, the last resting-place
of caravans before crossing the desert to Iran.
 
10. [J] This walled medieval city is perched atop a hill.
With stone fortifications, the city has 14 tower houses built
between the 11th and 13th centuries as power symbols of wealthy
merchant families.
 
11. [K] (decoy)
 
12. [L] A fortified settlement has existed since before the Roman
period, on the hill where the town now stands. In its present
form, it is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town,
with its massive defences encircling the castle, cathedral and
the surrounding buildings. The city is remarkably well preserved
thanks to the restoration campaign of one of the founders of
the modern science of conservation, and is designated as a
UNESCO Heritage Site.

Afghanistan 27.6%
Canada 82.2%
Answer is 0.3357664
 
Calvin .135 /2.487
 
** CORRECT ** 0.3357664
 
Dan Tilque .34 *1.0126
Joshua Kreitzer 0.44 *1.310
 
Calvin is eliminated.
 
Reasonable guesses all around, though.

9. According to the latest numbers given for each place on
www.population.de as of when this contest began, the
*population* of California is how many times that of Canada?

California 39,536,653
Canada 36,708,083
Answer is 1.077056
 
** CORRECT ** 1.077056
 
Joshua Kreitzer 1.1 *1.0213
Dan Tilque 1.65 *1.532
 
JOSHUA KREITZER wins! Ta-daah!
 
Looking back at 8 earlier rounds, I was interested to see that this
is only the second time in this contest that Joshua came closest to
the correct result (whereas Calvin, who lasted until round 8, had the
best result on 3 out of 7 earlier rounds).
 
But, as in the old joke, in this contest "I don't have to outrun the
bear -- I only have to outrun you". It's not about having the best
answer, until the end; it's about not having the worst answer.
 
So, hearty congratulations to Joshua for outrunning the worst answer
every time!

As I said early in MSBKO7, I drafted 10 questions before the contest
started. This one came out last in the randomization, and since there
were only 10 entrants, it wasn't used. But as long as I have it ready
to go, I'd like to offer it to anyone who entered MSBKO7 to answer.
 
That is, Dan Blum, Bruce Bowler, Pete Gayde, Joshua Kreitzer, John
Masters, Stephen Perry, Peter Smyth, Erland Sommarskog, Dan Tilque,
and the person posting as "Calvin" are invited to answer this one --
"for fun, but for no points", as I say in QFTCI.
 
I'll reveal the answer in 3 days from the time of posting or when all
10 of them have answered.
 
10. According to census.gov as of when this contest began, the
*land area* of Kentucky in km² is how many times that of
Virginia?
 
(I specified the unit because of the rule that I'm treating the numbers
given in the indicated source as if they were exact, so the areas given
in one unit will not be exactly equal to those in another. Of course
I do not expect this issue to matter in practice.)

This was the easiest round in the original game and the 5th-easiest
of the entire season.

Guy Fawkes. 4 for everyone -- Peter, Erland, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque,
Joshua, Pete, Bruce, Calvin, and Jason.
 
In the original game, this question did not include "now the best
known", so there were several other correct answers.
 
> 2. He was a general during the American Revolutionary War, who
> fought for the American Continental Army and later defected to
> the British. His name is now a byword for traitor.
 
Benedict Arnold. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Joshua, Pete, Bruce,
Calvin, and Jason.

Alfred Dreyfus. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Joshua, Pete, and Calvin.
3 for Erland.
 
I recommend Robert Harris's 2013 novelization of the events,
"An Officer and a Spy".

William Joyce. 4 for Peter.

Iva Ikuko Toguri D'Aquino (either surname was acceptable), "Tokyo
Rose". 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Joshua, Pete, Bruce, Calvin,
and Jason.
 
"Tokyo Rose" was actually a collective nickname for several women
who broadcast in English on Radio Tokyo, but in effect D'Aquino was
convicted for all of the broadcasts.
