| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 29 12:57AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 1998-02-16, 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 the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)". I probably wrote 6 questions in one of these rounds. ** Game 4, Round 9 - Science - Systems Analysis Questions #1-4 pertain to the endocrine system, whose organs secrete hormones internally; these hormones affect other organs or body structures. Please see the diagram: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/oo4/9/end.jpg 1. Name gland #1. Two of its hormones regulate the production of mature T-lymphocytes, which are essential to the body's immune system. One hormone it secretes is thymopoietin ["thy-mo-POY-et-in"]. 2. Name gland #2. It secretes the hormone melatonin, whose secretion increases in the absence of light and which has a role in the development of the gonads. 3. Name gland #7 (the bigger one with a group of smaller glands, #8, behind it). Two hormones it secretes help regulate the body's rate of metabolism. 4. Name gland #11. The hormones it secretes play a major role in the body's storage and utilization of carbohydrates. Questions #5-10 pertain to the skeletal system. In each case name the bone indicated -- and we're looking for the formal medical *Latin* word, e.g. "femur" rather than "thighbone". http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/oo4/9/ske.jpg 5. Bone A. 6. Bone B. 7. Bone C. (This is roughly triangular and is separate from D.) 8. Bone H. 9. Bone J. (The irregularly shaped bone with teeth attached to it.) 10. Bone L. So there were 7 decoys in each set.

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 29 12:53AM -0500 Mark Brader: > http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/oo4/7/hat.jpg > 1. This hat's name comes from the French word for an object that > closely resembles it. What is it called? Cloche. 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua. In 2004 a similar question (but giving the English translation "bell" rather than showing an illustration) on a Daily Double late in the game led to the end of Ken Jennings's 74-game winning streak on "Jeopardy!": by missing this question he lost his chance to lock up the game before reaching a "Final Jeopardy!" question that, thanks to doing his own income tax returns, he also did not get. > King Edward VII when he was still Prince of Wales. Its name > comes from the town in Germany where it was first made. > What is it? Homburg. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque. That's Winston Churchill. > in this photo are de rigueur for a particular sporting event > held in June of each year. The key word in the event's name > is the same as the hat's name. What is it? Ascot. 4 for Dan Blum. > 4. What is the function in the millinery trade of this device? Measuring a hat (from the inside). In the original game a slightly different form of the device was shown and we said it's called an "informer"; I was not able to confirm this name for any version of it when reconstructing the handout. > 5. And this one? Be specific. Stretching (not blocking) a hat. 4 for Dan Tilque. > play adaptation (respectively by George du Maurier and > Paul M. Potter). The same novel also originated the eponym > "Svengali". Name the hat. Trilby. 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua. That's Leonard Cohen. > 7. These hats are from an 1889 catalog. They are all one kind > of hat. What kind? Baseball caps. (No, those are not képis on the upper left.) 4 for Dan Blum. > 8. What style of straw hat is being worn by the vast majority of > the men in this photograph? Boater (not Panama hat). 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua. > 9. Although her husband left his hat off far too often for American > milliners, Jackie Kennedy's trademark was the brimless, circular > hat shown here. Name it. Pillbox. 4 for Dan Tilque.
