| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 06 12:04AM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-03-17, 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 these rounds. * Game 9, Round 2 - Entertainment - TV Animals Give the *names* of the TV animal characters from the two-page handout: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/o9/2/pets.pdf All humans are excluded, as well as anything not a living creature. Name the TV shows as well if you like for fun, but for no points. I've sorted the round in order of the handout. There were 7 decoys, which are now interspersed with the others. 1. A. 2. B (decoy) 3. C. 4. D. 5. E (decoy) 6. F. 7. G. 8. H (decoy) 9. I (decoy) 10. J. 11. K (decoy) 12. L. 13. M. 14. N. 15. O (decoy) 16. P. 17. Q (decoy) * Game 9, Round 3 - Miscellaneous - Superstitions These questions pertain to some common superstitions. You may assume the word "supposedly" as appropriate. 1. If a girl peels an apple without breaking the peel, then throws it over her left shoulder, what will be revealed to her? 2. What is foretold by a bird in the house? 3. When does a match bring bad luck? 4. What superstition is associated with a hunchback? 5. How did 13 guests at dinner come to be considered unlucky? 6. What effect can be achieved by touching the father of a bastard, sticking a snail on a thorn, or burying a bean? 7. Theatrical superstition has people saying "the Scottish play" as a substitute for what? 8. Complete this warning: "Sing before breakfast..." 9. What is it said to mean if your ear tingles or burns? 10. What is said to be unlucky to everyone except people born in October? -- Mark Brader | "...she was quite surprised to find that she remained Toronto | the same size: to be sure, this generally happens msb@vex.net | when one eats cake, but..." --Lewis Carroll My text in this article is in the public domain. |
