| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 03 11:31AM These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-07-23, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of What She Said and/or of Smith & Guessin', 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 2021-07-20 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)". ** Final, Round 7 - Entertainment * Iconic Movie Scenes In each case, name the movie the scene is from. (In the original game these were short animated clips that repeated every second or two, but I'm just providing stills here.) 1. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/iconic/1.jpg 2. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/iconic/2.jpg 3. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/iconic/3.jpg * Disney Villains by Sidekick 4. Name the Disney villain whose sidekicks are Flotsam and Jetsam <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/side/4.jpg>. 5. Name the Disney villain whose sidekick is Iago <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/side/5.jpg>. 6. Name the Disney villain whose sidekick is Le Fou <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/side/6.jpg>. * Unique Oscar Movies 7. Name the 1993 movie that became the only one *based on the storyline of a US TV series* to be nominated for Best Picture. It didn't win Best Picture, but it did pull in Best Supporting Actor. Note: This means an adaptation of an actual TV series; movies whose plot includes the making of fictional TV show, like "Tootsie", don't count. 8. 1968 was the first year of the MPAA ratings, and also the year of the """only""" Best Picture that was G-rated upon its release. (That is, retrospective ratings for older movies don't count.) Name the movie. 9. Name the 1932 movie that became the only one ever to win the Best Picture Oscar without a single other nomination. * Classical Gas 10. Name the Canadian opera singer, pianist, and comedienne famous for her parodies of classical music and opera in her one-woman stage shows. Her best-known works were "How to Write Your Own Gilbert and Sullivan Opera" and "The Ring of the Nibelungs (An Analysis)". 11. A long-running classical music parody is about this fictional member of a musical family, born in Leipzig in 1742, and his so-called "newly discovered" works. For over 40 years his "music" has been played on syndicated radio shows and NPR concerts and in 24 albums. Pieces include "Concerto for Piano vs. Orchestra", and "Music for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion". Name the fictional musician. 12. Name the musical ensemble that put out the 1979 disco tribute album "Saturday Night Fiedler". It included covers of songs like "Stayin' Alive", with a single long track called "Bachamania" on side B. * Reality TV Hosts From the photo of a reality TV show host, name the *show* they """currently""" host. 13. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/host/13.jpg 14. <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/host/14.jpg>. *Note:* He's also been on "Hollywood Squares" and "America's Funniest Home Videos", but despite having perhaps as much reality as the show we want, those don't count. 15. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-7/host/15.jpg ** Final, Round 8 - Miscellaneous * Two of a Three of a Kind We name two elements of a famous set of three; you name the third. 1. Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley. 2. Lies, damn lies. 3. Green circle, blue square. * Athletes & Dairy Products In each case, name the athlete who "got milk". 4. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/milk/4.jpg 5. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/milk/5.jpg 6. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/milk/6.jpg * Medieval Armaments 7.

What is the name for these 4-pointed spikes that would be strewn about on the ground to injure the feet of men and horses? <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/arms/8.jpg> 9. What is the specific name for the type of catapult shown, using a counterweight and gravity for power, rather than torsion? <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/arms/9.jpg> * Current Sovereigns On this triple we generously do not ask for the numbers; the names alone will do. Who is the """current""" monarch of... 10. Sweden? 11. Norway? 12. Belgium? After completing this triple, please decode the rot13: Bar bs gurz hfrf n qbhoyr anzr, yvxr Cbcr Wbua Cnhy V be VV.
