| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 07 11:26PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-07-22, 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 9, Round 2 - Literature - Shakespeare: the Next Line We'll name the Shakespeare play and give you a few lines that are followed immediately by a much-quoted line. We'll tell you how many words and sometimes give a hint. And you give that next line (or next part of the same line). *Exact answers* are required for full points. 1. From "Hamlet": "Neither a borrower nor a lender be For loan oft loses both itself and friend And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all..." (6 words.) 2. "Macbeth": "She should have died hereafter. There would have been time for such a word..." (5 words, 3 of which are the same.) 3. "A Midsummer Night's Dream": "Captain of our fairy band, Helena is here at hand, And the youth, mistook by me, Pleading for a lover's fee. Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord!..." (5 words.) 4. "The Merchant of Venice": "Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means Warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?..." (8 words.) 5. "Richard III": "His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! (Give the reply. 9 words. Some repetition.) 6. "The Tempest": "And like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind..." (9 words about consciousness.) 7. "Julius Caesar": "And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge With Ate by his side come hot from hell Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice..." (9 words on a canine theme.) 8. "Henry V": "We few. We happy few..." (4 words, think TV mini-series.) 9. "Romeo and Juliet": "Good night! Good night!..." (5 words.) 10. "As You Like It": "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their entrances and exits..." (9 words.) * Game 9, Round 3 - Geography - World Landmarks You may already know what these very famous landmarks look like, but we do like to print pretty color pictures for you: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-3/marks.pdf There were no decoys, and this round is sorted in order of the handout. 1.
