RQFTCINO13 Game 7, Rounds 4,6: shared dates, sports moves

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 28 05:45AM These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-03-18, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of the Night Owls, 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 2022-09-09 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".     * Game 7, Round 4 - History - Shared Dates of Birth and Death   This round is about famous people who either shared a common date of birth or a common date of death. Descriptions of people may relate to the time they were most famous: thus in question #1, Carl Lewis was not an Olympic athlete when he was born.   1. Which British royal was born 1961-07-01, the same day as American Olympic track and field athlete Carl Lewis?   2. What famous scientist was born 1809-02-12, the same day as Abraham Lincoln?   3. What well-known actor was born on 1926-06-01, the same day as Marilyn Monroe? He was a Grammy-winning Southern gospel singer, was nominated for two Tony Awards, and appeared in several movies -- but he's best known for his TV series work. He died 2012-07-03. Who was he?   4. What Canadian comedic actor and screenwriter was born 1952-07-01, the same day as hockey legend Steve Schutt? This actor is a firm believer in spirituality and has an avid interest in aspects of the paranormal.   5. Two well-known authors died on 1963-11-22, the same day as John F. Kennedy. One was born in 1898; a deeply religious man, he also wrote non-fiction Christian apologetics as well as novels. He was a close friend of Tolkien. Who was he?   6. The other one was born in 1894. His paternal grandfather, one of his brothers, and one of his half-brothers were all world-famous biologists. On his mother's side of the family, author Mrs. Humphrey Ward was his aunt, and poet Matthew Arnold was his mother's cousin. Who was he?   7. Which multiple Wimbledon winner was born 1943-11-22, the same day as hockey legend Yvan Cournoyer?   8. Which American playwright, who """has""" more Academy Award and Tony Award nominations than any other author, was born on 1927-07-04, the same day as Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida?   9. Which actress died 2009-07-25, the same day as Michael Jackson?   10. This TV newsmagazine host, news anchor, and game show host held the "Guinness Book of Records" record for most hours on TV until Regis Philbin surpassed him in 2004. He was born on 1921-02-14, the same day as Hazel McCallion. Who """is """ he?     * Game 7, Round 6 - Sports - On the Move   These are teams in major professional sports leagues, whose franchise took the indicated name when they moved from another city on the indicated date. You must tell where they moved *from* (i.e. the place name they were previously known by -- be it city, state, or whatever) on that date.   All of the questions will involve teams that had a complete name change -- for example, you won't see the Tennessee Oilers, who were the Houston Oilers before they moved -- but, again, we're only asking for the place name, not the team name.   (Note: In one or more cases there is some reason to question whether the old and new team should really be considered the same one, but they are at least by some people.)   1. Texas Rangers, 1972. 2. Winnipeg Jets, 2011. 3. Phoenix Coyotes, 1996. 4. Baltimore Ravens, 1996. 5. New Jersey Devils, 1982. 6. Colorado Avalanche, 1995. 7. Carolina Hurricanes, 1997. 8. Washington Nationals, 2005. 9. Oklahoma City Thunder, 2008. 10. Colorado Rockies (NHL), 1976.   -- Mark Brader "Three minutes' thought would suffice to Toronto find this out; but thought is irksome and msb@vex.net three minutes is a long time." --A.E. Housman   My text in this article is in the public domain.

Well, when the Brier was founded -- and so named by its original sponsor after one of their brands of tobacco -- several of the entries represented areas smaller or larger than their home province. Northern Ontario is just the just the last of these areas still remaining -- incidentally, the other Ontario team is called Ontario, not Southern Ontario.   By winning the Brier, Jacobs's team became the Canadian team in the subsequent men's world championship. They made it to the final of that event but lost 8-6 to Niklas Edin's team representing Sweden.     > their deaths, their lives, and their legacies.   > 1.

RQFTCINO13 Game 7, Rounds 2-3: music died, island flags

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 25 05:42AM These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-03-18, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of the Night Owls, 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 2022-09-09 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".     * Game 7, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt]   Answer these 2013 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.   1. Who became the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station last week?   2. For the first time since 1985, last week the Northern Ontario team won the Canadian men's curling championship at the Tim Hortons Brier. Who was the skip of this winning Northern Ontario team?     * Game 7, Round 2 - Entertainment - the Day the Music Died   This round is about Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper: their deaths, their lives, and their legacies.   1. The three singers all died in a Beechcraft Bonanza plane crash in Iowa. Name *either* the month or the year when this happened.   2. They were on the plane to go to a concert in Moorehead, MN. Upon hearing the news, a certain 15-year-old and a few of his fellow classmates formed a band called the Shadows, and volunteered as a substitute for Buddy Holly and his band at the Moorehead concert. This launched a successful pop music career for the 15-year-old. His biggest hit came 2 years later with "Take Good Care of My Baby". Who was this young pop star?   3. Ritchie Valens got on the ill-fated flight because he won a coin toss with Tommy Allsup. The Big Bopper was on the plane because he had a cold (or the flu) and another musician gave up his seat. Who was this other musician?   4. What was Buddy Holly's real first name?   5. What was the legal family name of Ritchie Valens?   6. "The Big Bopper" was the nickname of J.P. Richardson Jr. The P stood for Perry, but what did the J stand for?   7. Who played the lead role as Buddy Holly in the 1978 movie "The Buddy Holly Story"?   8. Who played the lead role as Ritchie Valens in the 1987 movie "La Bamba"?   9. What was the Big Bopper's biggest hit?   10. When Valens released "La Bamba" on a 45 rpm record in 1958, it was on the B side of the vinyl disk. His biggest hit was the song on the A side -- what was it?     * Game 7, Round 3 - Geography - Flags of Island Nations   This is the second and last visual handout round of the regular season. Please see http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-3/flags.png and give the number of """the island nation's flag""".   1. Grenada. 2. Tonga. 3. Bahrain. 4. Malta. 5. Sri Lanka. 6. Haiti. 7. Vanuatu. 8. Iceland. 9. Cyprus. 10. Maldives.   So there were 8 decoys. After completing the round, decode the rot13 if you want to try them for fun, but for no points.   11. Pncr Ireqr. 12. Pbzbebf. 13. Xvevongv. 14. Oneonqbf. 15. Wnznvpn. 16. Znhevgvhf. 17. Cnchn Arj Thvarn. 18. Fvatncber.   -- Mark Brader, Toronto, msb@vex.net The precedence don't enter into it -- it's stone undefined. This expression makes no sense. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone, though sadly not forgotten. This is a latent expression. Bereft of meaning, it should rest in peace. If people didn't keep nailing it into these discussions, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir ineffable. This is not an ex-pression. -- Steve Summit (after Monty Python)   My text in this article is in the public domain.

RQFTCINO13 Game 6, Rounds 9-10: cocktails, crime and punishment

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 22 06:28AM These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-03-11, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of the Night Owls, 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 2022-09-09 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".     ** Game 6, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - Cocktail Recipes   We are in a pub, so we should know something about cocktails. In this round -- pun intended! -- you will be asked to identify some of the ingredients of some of the official cocktails as recognized by the International Bartenders Association. Answers may repeat. All correct answers will contain alcohol. And if any of your answers are whiskey, you need to be more specific.   1. What liquor is used to make a Bramble? 2. What liquor is used to make a Mary Pickford? 3. What liqueur is used to make a Harvey Wallbanger? 4. What is the alcoholic ingredient in a Horse's Neck? 5. The Godfather is made with Amaretto Di Saronno and what spirit? 6. The alcoholic ingredients of a Kamikaze are vodka and what liqueur?   7. The two alcoholic ingredients of a Manhattan are red vermouth and what liquor?   8. The recipe for a Sidecar includes two alcoholic beverages: triple sec and what other?   9. The recipe for a Cosmopolitan includes two alcoholic beverages: citron vodka and what liqueur?   10. The recipe for Long Island ice tea contains 5 alcoholic ingredients, including, gin, tequila, vodka, rum, and... what liqueur?     ** Game 6, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Crime and Punishment   * A. History: It's All in the Family   These two questions are about the Five Mafia Families of New York.   A1. What is the name of the body that was created in 1931 that governs the Five Families?   A2. John Gotti was at one point the boss of what crime family?     * B. Geography: The Big House   B1. In what US state would you find Folsom State Prison and San Quentin State Prison?   B2. In what US state would you find Riker's Island, Attica Correctional Facility, and Sing Sing?     * C. Literature: Crime Story   C1. Who wrote the novel "Farewell My Lovely"?   C2. Who wrote the novel "The Maltese Falcon"?     * D. Sports: These are No Role Models   D1. In 2011, which retired San Francisco Giants player was convicted of obstruction of justice for lying about the use of steroids?   D2. In 1994, which figure skater was convicted for hindering the prosecution of the attackers of her fellow figure skater Nancy Kerrigan?     * E. Entertainment: Canadian Content   These two questions cover Canadian-produced crime series. In each case name the series.   E1. This was a Vancouver-based crime drama that ran for two seasons in 2006-07, starring Ian Tracey and Klea Scott. The show centered on Jimmy Reardon, one of Vancouver's top organized crime bosses, and Mary Spalding, the director of the Vancouver Organized Crime Unit who has offered Reardon immunity from prosecution in exchange for his role as a police informant.   E2. This show, which ran from 2008 to 2012, focused on a fictional elite tactical unit, the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), within a Canadian metropolitan police force. The SRU was tasked with resolving extreme situations that regular officers are not trained to handle, including hostage-taking, bomb threats, and heavily armed criminals. The show starred Hugh Dillon and Amy Jo Johnson.     * F. Miscellaneous: Cultural Centers   F1. In what American city """can""" you find the Mob Museum: the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement?   F2. In what American city """can""" you find the Crime Museum: the National Museum of Crime and Punishment?   -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "Effective immediately, all memos are to be written msb@vex.net | in clear, active-voice English." -- US gov't memo   My text in this article is in the public domain.
