| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Oct 02 05:45PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-03-19, 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*)". In this set, I wrote one pair of questions in the challenge round. ** Game 9, Round 9 - Canadiana - Canadian Population Did you pay attention to the 2006 census results, which were released """last week"""? You should have, since this round has to do with Canadian population figures. Just to simplify things, whenever we refer to a certain population or statistic in the present tense without further specification, we're talking about the information *as of the 2006 census*. Census Day was 2006-05-16. *Note*: For questions #1-9, you may instead give answers based on the 2016 census if you like; if the question refers to changes from 2001 to 2006, you may then read it as meaning changes from 2011 to 2016. But in every case you *must say* if you are giving the 2020 answer (based on 2016). 1. Two provinces or territories experienced a net population drop between the 2001 and 2006 censuses. Name either one. 2. Canada's population grew by 5.4% between 2001 and 2006. Where does that percentage increase rank among the Group of 8, or G8, countries? 3. According to Statistics Canada, what percentage of Canadians """live""" in urban areas, to the nearest whole percent? You must be within 2 percentage points of the correct answer. 4. Within 300,000, what is Canada's 2006 census population? 5. The next two questions relate to the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area or CMA, which is similar to the GTA. What """is""" the third-largest city in the Toronto CMA, after Toronto itself and Mississauga? 6. And what """is""" the *third-largest* city in Ontario *outside* of the Toronto CMA? That is, the third-largest city not counting Toronto or nearby places like Mississauga and <answer 5>. Note, we are talking about the city proper, not the metropolitan area. 7. Within 2,000 people, what """is""" the population of either Yukon, Nunavut, or the Northwest Territories? Or, within 5,000, what """is""" the population of all three combined? You have to tell us *which one* of the four possible answers you're giving, *as well* as saying if you're answering for 2020 (based on 2016). 8. It comes as no surprise that Alberta """is""" Canada's fastest-growing province, having increased in population by 10.6% since """2001""". Within 250,000, what """is""" its population? 9. The least populous province is, of course, Prince Edward Island. Within 5,000, what """is""" its population? 10. The 2006 census asked Canadians if they were willing to have their census data made publicly available after a certain number of years. 56% of us agreed to this, but very few people alive today are likely to be around when it happens. Within 5 years, in what year will the census data of those who gave their consent be transferred to Library and Archives Canada, assuming that such an institution still exists at that time? *Note*: for this question you must answer for the 2006 census only. ** Game 9, Round 10 - Challenge Round * A. Cricket A1. In cricket, the "pitch" is the flat strip of ground where the ball is bowled, with a wicket at each end -- although in some usages, the pitch itself is also referred to as the wicket. In any case, how long is the pitch -- in yards, within 1? A2. A wicket, by which we mean the structure at each end of the pitch, consists of three vertical stakes and two crosspieces laid atop the stakes. Give the name of *either* of these two types of components. * B. European Lakes B1. This question relates to the *three largest natural lakes* (as opposed to reservoirs) that are *entirely* in Europe. The two largest ones """are""" both in the same country. Lake #3, which is named Vänern ("VEN-ern"), is in a different country. Name *either one* of the two countries. B2. Lake Balaton, at 598 km², """is""" the largest lake in what central European country? * C. Impressionists C1. The term Impressionism was originally an insult, invented by a French art critic based on the title of *what artist's* 1872 painting "Impression: soleil levant"? C2. This American painter was born in 1845, moved to Paris, and through her friendship with Edgar Degas, exhibited with the Impressionists. Name her. * D. """Recently""" Dead Economists D1. This libertarian, laissez-faire, monetarist economist won the 1976 Nobel Prize and was one of the leading figures of the Chicago School of economists. He died in November 2006 at the age of 94. Name him. D2. Canadian-born economist John Kenneth Galbraith, who died in April 2006 at the age of 97, served from 1961 to 1963 as the US ambassador to what country? * E. Science-Fictional Scientists The following fictional scientists invented different types of time travel. Given their name and the name of their invention, tell us what *movie or TV series* they first appeared in. E1. Dr. Emmett Brown, flux capacitor. E2. Sam Beckett, string theory of linear time. * F. Statute of Westminster F1. The Statute of Westminster was the formal recognition that Canada and certain other "dominions" were no longer subject to the British parliament. In what year was it enacted, within 1? F2. Name *any two* of the other five dominions named in the Statute. -- Mark Brader "Also, be sure to include your signature TWICE in Toronto each article.
