| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Oct 17 03:37AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-07-09, 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 4 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 7, Round 7 - Canadiana History - Canadian Museums We're fortunate in that we have a wealth of museums -- national, provincial, and private -- in this country. In each case in this round, you give the name (in English) of the museum we describe. Note: If the name is in the style "Canadian Museum of X" or similar, "X" will be sufficient. If it's named after a person, the person's surname will be sufficient. But in *any other case*, the *exact full name* of the museum is required. 1. Originally opened in 1967, this Ottawa museum features the crowd-pleasing exhibit "The Crazy Kitchen". It reopened in November 2017 following an $80,000,000 renovation. 2. Housed in a distinctive round-roofed structure, this is the largest civic museum in Canada. It shares the building with the H.R. Macmillan Space Centre but occupies the majority of the space. Established in 1894, it moved numerous times until it finally landed in its permanent home in 1968. It's also been renamed a few times: 1894, 1968, 1981, and 2009. What is it called now? 3. This museum, designed by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki, features angular walls clad in white granite. It opened in September 2014 and is located in North York. 4. The vision of Izzy Asper, this museum is the first new national museum since 1967, the first located outside the National Capital Region, and the first to result from a private/public partnership. The stunning structure, designed by Antoine Predock, opened to the public in September 2014 and is featured on the back of the new $10 bill. 5. Designed by the architecture firm of Moriyama & Teshima, who are also responsible for the Bata Shoe Museum, this national museum was relocated to the remediated land of LeBreton Flats and re-opened on its 125th anniversary in 2005. Each year, the museum sponsors the Col. Douglas H. Gunter History Awards, a national competition for senior-high-school students. 6. This museum is renowned for its displays of world art and culture, in particular works by First Nation band governments of the Pacific Northwest. As well as being a major tourist destination, it is a research and teaching museum, housing over 500,000 ethnographic and archaeological objects, including the Walter and Marianne Koerner collection. Designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, it opened its doors in 1976. 7. Its chronological galleries represent the 3,900,000,000-year history of life on Earth. It houses a collection of over 130,000 fossils and is a major center for paleontological research. It opened in 1985 and is named after the geologist who, while searching for coal seams, discovered the albertosaurus in 1884. 8. This Halifax museum began in 1999 as an independent institution housed at Pier 21, a former ocean liner terminal used from 1928 to 1971. Often compared to Ellis Island, it became a national museum, run by the Federal government, in 2011. 9. Established in Peterborough in 1997, this museum's mission is to preserve and share the culture and history of this characteristically Canadian mode of transportation. The museum is in the midst of a $65,000,000 fund-raising campaign for expansion and relocation from its current site on Monaghan Rd. to land owned by Parks Canada next to the lift lock on the Trent-Severn Waterway. 10. Founded in 1921, based on this family's collection of objects, this Canadian national history museum's collection now includes over 1,400,000 objects, artifacts, photographs, and manuscripts, many relating to the history and cultures of Canada's Aboriginal peoples. The museum is at 690 Sherbrooke St. W. in Montreal. * Game 7, Round 8 - Leisure - Monsters in "Dungeons & Dragons" Beyond dragons and orcs, there are a whole horde of monsters that have been created over the years for the "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game. Please see the 2-page handout at: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-8/dd.pdf And give the numbers of the following monsters: 1. Gelatinous cube. 2. Owlbear. 3. Beholder. 4. Mind flayer. 5. Coatl ["ko-AT'll"]. 6. Ettin. 7. Gnoll. 8. Modron. 9. Mimic. 10. Rust monster. And if yo'd like to try the 8 decoys for fun, but for no points, please decode the rot13 and continue: 11. Fynnq. 12. Qvfcynpre ornfg. 13. Lhna-Gv. 14. Kbea. 15. Hzore uhyx. 16. Syhzcu. 17. Gneenfdhr. 18. Tynoermh. -- Mark Brader | "I can direct dial today a man my parents warred with.
