| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 06 05:57PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-08-07, 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*)". ** Final, Round 8 - Miscellaneous (Sometimes it's a thing that doesn't fit elsewhere, sometimes it's just "too many sports questions this week".) http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/r.jpg Throughout the Final game, in all cases name the person or thing *emphasized*, whether it is asked for in the form of a question or not. * Uncommon Fruit (You wanted common fruits? What type of trivia league do you think we're running here?) http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t1.jpg We'll hand you an unusual type of fruit, which you may examine as you wish. Then, tell us what fruit it is. (Here, you'll have to be satisfied with looking at pictures.) 1. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/fruit/1.jpg What *type of fruit* is this? 2. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/fruit/2.jpg What *type of fruit* is this? 3. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/fruit/3.jpg What *type of fruit* is this? * Wrappers (*Bar* none, the best category in this Final -- eh? eh?) http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t2.jpg We're going to show you a chocolate- or candy-bar wrapper with the name Photoshopped out; you tell us what bar it is. 4. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/bar/4.jpg *Name it*. 5. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/bar/5.jpg *Name it*. 6. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/bar/6.jpg *Name it*. * Kitchen Thingies (They slice, they dice, they make Julienne fries.) http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t3.jpg We'll hand you a kitchen tool or implement (again, here you'll have to be satisfied with a picture) and give you a clue as to its use; you tell us what the thingy is. 7. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/tool/7.jpg *This thingy* is used with dough made from flour, eggs, and salt to make a type of food (which has the same name as the dough). 8. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/tool/8.jpg *This thingy* is also used to shape dough into a food, but this time the dough is made from flour, eggs, and potatoes. 9. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/tool/9.jpg *This thingy* is similar to a mezza luna, and traditionally is used in food preparation by the Inuit, Yupik, and Aleutian cultures. * Service Clubs ("Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down? They do, they do.") http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t4.jpg Three questions about people who sometimes wear funny hats, sometimes drive funny tiny cars, and (ooops) it turns out a lot of them were really, really racist for a long time. 10. *This service club* began admitting non-whites earlier than any other major service club or fraternal order when it opened branches in the Philippines and India in 1919, only 14 years after the club's formation, and has banned racial discrimination in its charter since 1922. However, the club did go to the Supreme Court to try to prevent women from joining in 1987 (and failed), so... 11. *This service club* has 1,900,000 members worldwide -- but restricts its membership to Catholic men age 18 or older. 12. *This service club* is the oldest Jewish service organization in the world, committed to "the security and continuity of the Jewish people and the state of Israel". In addition to the community services it provides via its hundreds of thousands of members, it also has a strong tradition of human rights activism. * Spices (Hint: the answer to every question is "variety", because that is the spice of life -- no, wait, sorry, I'm being told that that's not the case.) http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t5.jpg We'll hand you a sample of a spice; you can smell it (and taste it if you like). (Sorry, here once again you'll have to be satisfied with a picture.) Then you simply tell us what spice we've given you. 13. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/spice/13.jpg Identify *this spice*. 14. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/spice/14.jpg Identify *this spice*. 15. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/spice/15.jpg Identify *this spice*.

Chinese Taipei. 4 for Joshua, Pete, and Dan Tilque. Historically, of course, the Republic of China *did* include the whole of what is now the People's Republic of China, but was reduced to just the island of Taiwan in the civil war of 1945-49. At that point the two sides stopped actively fighting, but this happened without formality, hence the continued claim of each one on the other's territory. Many countries, and with them the UN, continued to recognize the Taiwan government, which therefore maintained the UN membership of "China" that it had had since 1945. Only after Canada's decision to recognize the People's Republic in 1970 did this change; Taiwan then lost its UN member status and became generally unrecognized. > self-governing since 1994, when it declared independence from > *this country*, a former Soviet republic located in the South > Caucasus.

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 06 08:50PM -0600 The entrant posting as "Calvin" posted his answer slate almost simultaneously with the answers posting, so of course it should be counted. I'll repost the questions, answers, and scores, this time removing preambles and some commentary, but now including Calvin's scores. ** Final, Round 7 - Geography (Is letting you see this JPEG helping you cheat in this round? Oh man, nobody tell Mark that.) Throughout the Final game, in all cases name the person or thing *emphasized*, whether it is asked for in the form of a question or not. * Unrecognized States 1. The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is currently recognized by 84 UN member states, but is not a UN member primarily because it is located entirely within *this unorganized territory* that is currently claimed by Morocco. Western Sahara. 4 for everyone -- Dan Blum, Joshua, Erland, Pete, Dan Tilque, and Calvin. 2. The Republic of China, better known as Taiwan, is only recognized by 17 UN member nations and the Holy See, with most other countries maintaining unofficial diplomatic relations. However, Taiwan and the People's Republic of China not only claim each other's territory, they also both claim the right to be called "China". In order to make things less confusing, or at least less confrontational, Taiwan is currently referred to by *this name* when competing at the Olympics and other events where China is also present and competing. Chinese Taipei. 4 for Joshua, Pete, and Dan Tilque. 3. The Republic of Artsakh, formerly the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, is not recognized by any UN member states despite having been self-governing since 1994, when it declared independence from *this country*, a former Soviet republic located in the South Caucasus. Azerbaijan. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Erland, Pete, and Dan Tilque. * Borderlines 4. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/bord/4.jpg Identify *this country in Africa*. Tanzania. 4 for Dan Tilque. 2 for Calvin. 5. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/bord/5.jpg Identify *this country in Europe*. Bosnia & Herzegovina. Both names required. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Erland, and Dan Tilque. 6. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/bord/6.jpg Identify *this country in Asia*. Laos. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Erland, Dan Tilque, and Calvin. 2 for Pete. * City Islands 7. There are about 15 islands in the Toronto Islands, but one is by far the largest; it's variously called Centre Island or Toronto Island, and Ward's Island is part of it. (Just to be more confusing, Middle Island, where Centreville is, is *also* called Centre Island -- that's where the "Centre Island" ferry dock is.) Anyway, when it's not flooded, you can walk almost from one end of the largest island almost to the other, excluding only the airport grounds. So how long is that walk, from the Hanlan's Point ferry dock to the Ward's Island dock near the Eastern Channel? (Answer to the nearest whole kilometer, exactly.) 5 km. 3 for Pete. 8. *This so-called "island"* on Vancouver's False Creek is not actually an island, but a peninsula. Thanks to active municipal development, it is home to a famous market, a brewery, an art school and multiple performing arts theatres and spaces. Granville I. 4 for Pete. 9. *This Montreal island* is part of the Hochelaga Archipelago and was named in 1611 by Samuel de Champlain. Together with its artificial neighbor Île Notre-Dame, the island was home to Expo 67 and the successor fair Man and his World (or "Terre des hommes"), and is currently operated as Parc Jean Drapeau. Answer in English or French. St. Helen's I. or Île Ste-Hélène. * Toronto Lanes http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/t4.jpg 10. *Which trivia pub* is closest to Farquhar's Lane? Jersey Giant. 11. *Which trivia pub* is closest to Biscuit Lane? Duke of Gloucester. 12. *Which trivia pub* is closest to Bagpipe Lane? Tranzac. * Top of the Crops 13. Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Ghana, Indonesia, Cameroon, Nigeria. *What crop?* Cocoa or cacao. 4 for Joshua, Erland, and Calvin. 3 for Pete and Dan Tilque. 2 for Dan Blum. 14. Canada, Nepal, Russian Federation, Myanmar, US. *What crop?* Mustard seed. 15. Indonesia, Madagascar, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Comoros. *What crop?* Cloves. Scores, if there are no errors: FINAL ROUNDS-> 2 3 4 6 7 BEST TOPICS-> His Ent Spo A+ Geo THREE Dan Blum 38 22 16 17 18 78 Joshua Kreitzer 23 20 18 27 24 74 Pete Gayde 13 17 27 4 24 68 Dan Tilque -- 4 12 -- 27 43 "Calvin" 11 14 -- -- 14 39 Bruce Bowler 20 8 8 -- -- 36 Erland Sommarskog 0 0 8 -- 20 28 -- Mark Brader | The situation will continue to deteriorate until we [get] msb@vex.net | an effective governing authority...

I often seem to be away for rounds that suit me, and when I return am confronted with a one on "Flora of the Yukon" or something equally esoteric. cheers, calvin |
