- QFTCIWSS Game 3, Rounds 4,6: dogs, house brands - 3 Updates
- Rotating Quiz #302: Step by Step - 6 Updates
| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Aug 15 10:25AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-04, 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 What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 3, Round 4 - Science - Original Dog-Breed Names Nowadays we might look at a dog and say "that's a soft-coated wheaten terrier", but when the Irish bred it, they originally called it the "an brocaire buí" ["uhn BRAW-kur bwee]". In each case, give the name we know the breed by. 1. In addition to the soft-coated wheaten terrier, the Irish people have bred seven other breeds of dog recognized by the American Kennel Club, the oldest of which is the "cú faoil" ["koo feel"]. What do we know that one as? 2. This dog was initially bred in France, where it is known as the "chien de St-Hubert". What do we call it? 3. The "xolo" ["CHO-low"] is the proper name for this dog, one of which was recently featured in the Pixar film "Coco". 4. The Chinese refer to this breed as the "songshi quan" ["song-SHE kwan"], which translates to "puffy lion dog". 5. In Dari Persian, this dog is called the "sag-e tazi" ["SADGE-eh TAW-zee"]; in Pashto, it is the "tazi spay" ["TAH-zee SPAY"]. 6. The Azande ["ah-ZAN-"day] people of South Sudan know this dog as the "ango angari", which means "dog of the bush". 7. In Zimbabwe, the Shona call this dog shumba imbwa ["shoom-BAH im-BWAH"], which means "lion dog", because they used it to keep lions at bay. 8. These dogs were originally called "alpenmastiffs", until Swiss and German breeders in the late 19th century realized they were not actually related to mastiffs. 9. The Germans originally called these large dogs "Kammerhunde", and dressed them in gilded collars -- when they weren't using them to hunt boars or even bears. 10. This Japanese breed's name translates to "little brushwood dog". * Game 3, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - House Brands We name a house brand and you tell us the retailer (or any one of the group of related retailers) that exclusively sells it. Answers may repeat. 1. Blue Menu. 2. Life Brand. 3. Kirkland. 4. Mastercraft. 5. Black Brown. 6. Irresistibles. 7. Compliments. 8. Edit by Jeanne Beker. 9. Frank. 10. George. -- Mark Brader | "I have on occasion manufactured technical terms that Toronto | have made it into common use in the literature. msb@vex.net | But not many, and I'm licensed." --John Lawler My text in this article is in the public domain. |

It was in Calvin's most recent RQ, so it gave me at a little headache, as I did not want to get the answer wrong. At that point I had not spotted theme. |
