Sounds about right, but I don't know why you mention it in this context. -- Mark Brader | "The problem with waiting for a 'smoking gun' is Toronto | that it means the gun has already been fired." msb@vex.net | --Michael Chance |
| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 02 12:02AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-03-05, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)". I did not write either of these rounds. * Game 7, Round 2 - Arts - Women Painters This round has a 3-page handout. (Sorry, but the image quality isn't the greatest: the online original version of it was lost and I recreated it by scanning one of the printed copies.) http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7/paint.pdf We'll give you the name of a painter; you identify her work by giving the number from one of the handout pages. All of them are women. 1. Emily Carr. 2. Mary Cassatt. 3. Artemisia Gentileschi. 4. Judith Leyster. 5. Frida Kahlo. 6. Georgia O'Keefe. 7. Berthe Morisot. 8. Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. 9. Anna Mary "Grandma" Moses. 10. Mary Pratt. So there were 10 decoys. Decode the rot13 if you'd like to see the picture numbers and identify those painters for fun, but for no points. 11. Cvpgher ryrira. 12. Cvpgher svsgrra. 13. Cvpgher svir. 14. Cvpgher sbhe. 15. Cvpgher friragrra. 16. Cvpgher fvk. 17. Cvpgher fvkgrra. 18. Cvpgher gra. 19. Cvpgher guvegrra. 20. Cvpgher gjragl. * Game 7, Round 3 - Entertainment - TV Casts In this round, you'll be given some of the cast members of a """currently"""-running TV show. You name the show. *Note*, we won't always be giving you the top-billed stars. 1. Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, Robert Sean Leonard. 2. Rob Morrow, David Krumholtz, Judd Hirsch, Peter MacNicol. 3. Gabrielle Miller, Lorne Cardinal, Eric Peterson. 4. Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay, Mike Smith. 5.
