| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Aug 07 12:31AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-06-24, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 6, Round 7 - Science - Complexes Made Easy Nobody said life was simple. Complexes -- the notion of organizing the unconscious mind around a theme -- originated with Freud and Jung and continues in psychology today. In this round, we'll describe some psychological complexes, and in each case, you are asked to name them. 1. As per Greek mythology, an Oedipal (or Oedipus) complex involves a male child with an antipathy toward his father and attraction for his mother. What is the same syndrome -- affinity for the opposite-sex parent -- called in girls? 2. Still drawing from the story of Oedipus, what psychological complex is attached to a mother with an obsessive fixation on her son? 3. A person with perceived physical shortcomings who compensates by overachieving to an obsessive degree, particularly in areas of leadership. This psychological complex is named after a historical figure. 4. Difficult relationships between a father and daughter, or a perceived absence of that father, can contribute to this complex in which women seek out men considerably their senior. The syndrome is named for a controversial novel. Name that complex. 5. Another pathology named for a Greek myth, this was named in 1949 by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. It is characterized by the behavior of compulsively warning others of the consequences of their behavior. A side-effect is the propensity to feel other people's grief to an extreme degree. 6. This fairy-tale-based complex was described in 1981 by Colette Dowling, who wrote about the pathology of women who fear independence. It describes women who feel incapable of change without outside help, usually male. Think Disney. Name that complex. 7. Dr. Fredric Wertham wrote the controversial 1954 book "Seduction of the Innocent", about the malign effects of comic books. One enduring complex he identified -- an unhealthy sense of responsibility and a desire to "save" others -- was named for a comic-book character. Name that complex. 8. Marked by an almost complete lack of self-worth, this complex suggests feelings of failing to measure up to standards. Sufferers can overcompensate with extreme achievement or act out anti-socially. Name that complex, which was defined by psychologist Alfred Adler and is *not* named after a person or character. 9. This complex was first described by Freud as a man's inability to maintain sexual arousal within a committed, loving relationship. Men with this complex tend to compartmentalize all women as either saintly or as prostitutes. Name that complex. 10. Not officially recognized by the psychoanalytic community, but popular in pop psychology, this complex refers to men who avoid adult responsibility through laziness and lack of direction. The complex is named after a famous character in children's literature. * Game 6, Round 8 - Geography - The State I'm In We'll name some states, provinces, territories, cantons, or whatever. You name the country. 1. Anhui, Hubei, Gansu, Hebei. 2. Batman, Hakkari, Samsun, Van. 3. Cordoba, Santa Fe, Rio Negro, Formosa. 4. Distrito Federale, Esperito Santo, Parana, Rio Grande do Norte. 5. Edo, Gombe, Borno, Jigawa. 6. Balochistan, Northwest Frontier Province, Punjab, Sindh. 7. Assam, Kerala, Sikkim, Nagaland. 8. Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft, Schaffhausen, Zug. 9. Andelucia, Extremadura, Murcia, Balearic Islands. 10. Colima, Hidalgo, Sonora, Chiapas. -- Mark Brader "If cars were designed the same way as software is Toronto today, they'd all have buggy-whip holders..." msb@vex.net -- Marcus J.
