He went on > to create and produce the five spinoffs. Who is he? Dick Wolf. 4 for Joshua. Both of the wrong guesses were reasonable tries. David E. Kelley created, among others, "Harry's Law" and "Boston Legal", and he wrote for "L.A. Law". He didn't treat any police shows as far as I know, though. And Steven Bochco created, among others, "L.A. Law", "NYPD Blue", and "Hill Street Blues". > from 1994 to 2010. Most recently he has been seen on TV as the > pitchman for TD Ameritrade, and as Lily Tomlin's ex-husband on > "Grace and Frankie". Name this accomplished actor. Sam Waterston. I accepted Watterson, only one T away when spoken, for full points. So: 4 for Dan Blum, Calvin, and Joshua. > roles in "The Fantasticks" and "Chicago", and played Lumière > in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast", played Detective Lennie > Briscoe for 12 years, from 1992 to 2004?

Which gay man played Queen Elizabeth II in a number of > episodes of "The Kids in the Hall" (1988-94)? Scott Thompson. > 5th-largest in its country by population, and you'll respond with > the country that city is in. For example, if we said "Edmonton", > you would say "Canada." Unfortunately, as Erland noted, the round's author did not indicate what reference was used for metropolitan-area populations, and sources are likely to disagree on them. If any answer you gave (other than a city mentioned in the question itself) was scored as wrong and you can find a reasonably recent reference that shows it as correct, post a protest with the specifics and I'll accept it. > 1. Pozna. Poland. 4 for Dan Blum, Erland, Dan Tilque, and Pete. 3 for Calvin. > 2. Västerås ["VES-ter-ohss"]. Sweden. 4 for Erland and Dan Tilque. 3 for Calvin. > 3. Fortaleza. Brazil. 4 for Erland and Pete. > 4. Ahmedabad. India. 4 for Pete. > 5. Shiraz. Iran. 4 for Dan Blum, Erland, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Pete. > 6. Bilbao. Spain. 4 for everyone -- Dan Blum, Erland, Calvin, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Pete. > largest cities, and you tell us what city ranks 5th -- again, > by metropolitan[-]area population. > 7. United States: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston. Phoenix. 4 for Dan Blum. > 8. Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth.

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 18 11:17PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-07-23, 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 9, Round 7 - Art - Art School of Fish Please see this handout modified from a drawing by John Atkinson: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-7/fish.jpg As you see, each fish is drawn in the style of a specific artist. For questions #1-5, give the corresponding fish number: 1. Joan ["hoe-AHN"] Miró. 2. Mark Rothko. 3. Henry Moore. 4. Marcel Duchamp. 5. Andy Warhol. For #6-10, you guessed it, please decode the rot13 to see the fish numbers, and then name the artist in each case. 6. Gur svsgu svfu. 7. Svfu ahzore KV. 8. Gur frpbaq svfu. 9. Svfu gra. 10. #Sbhegrra. And if you like, decode the following rot13 to see the 5 decoy artists, and give their fish numbers for fun, but for no points. 11. Znep Puntnyy. 12. Jnffvyl Xnaqvafxl. 13. Uraev Zngvffr. 14. Cnhy Xyrr. 15. Xrvgu Unevat. * Game 9, Round 8 - Canadiana Science - Canadian Inventions Did you know people in our very country have invented things? It's true! At least 10 times in our nation's history, Canadians -- or, at least, people who at the time were living in a place that is now in Canada -- have invented a new sort of a thing. 1. Marcellus Edson obtained the patent for what food product in 1884? According to his patent application, the product had "a consistency like that of butter, lard, or ointment". 2. Three Canadian pediatricians invented this food product in 1930 at the Hospital for Sick Children. Sick Kids received royalties from the sale of the trademarked product for the next 25 years. Name it or give a sufficiently specific description. 3. These screws, bearing the name of their inventor, are most common in Canada, mostly because their inventor refused to license them to Henry Ford. What screws? 4. Alexander Graham Bell of course invented the telephone, but he also invented which unconventional type of speedboat? 5. It should not be surprising that a Canadian, Arthur Sicard, invented the snowblower. Within 4 years, in what year did he invent it? 6. Likewise, you might know that Joseph-Armand Bombardier invented the snowmobile -- and again, within 4 years, when was that? 7. Reginald Fessenden had literally hundreds of patents to his name, but his most important was probably the Fessenden oscillator, providing the first operational version of what system for military use? 8. Cluny MacPherson, of St. John's, invented which piece of military defensive equipment in 1915? 9. The Royal Canadian Navy's DATAR (Digital Automated Tracking and Resolving) computer, built in 1953, was the first computer to use what type of input device? 10. Which film format, invented in Montreal, was developed by a company originally called "Multiscreen"? -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Dr. Slipher, I have found your Planet X." msb@vex.net -- Clyde Tombaugh (1906-97), 1930-02-18 My text in this article is in the public domain. |
