These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-05-29,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Bloor St. Irregulars and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
please see my 2023-05-24 companion posting on "Questions from the
Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 3, Round 2 - Science - Computers

1. Nvidia is best-known for making what type of computer hardware?
During the pandemic, some of the GeForce line of these devices,
like the RTX 3080, ballooned in price as people used them to
mine cryptocurrency.

2. The Core i7 and i9 and the Pentium are lines of CPUs by
which technology company? In 2005, when Apple's iPhone was in
development, this company declined to produce chips for it.

3. Apple's failed contract with <answer 2> was a boon for TSMC
-- who, as their name suggests, are a semiconductor company
in which country? In the same country, Foxconn has come under
fire for poor worker conditions in its iPhone factories.

4. In 2022, the EU announced that all devices will have to include
ports that support Type C of what "Universal" connection
standard? No word on whether you'll still have to flip over
your cables multiple times to plug them in properly.

5. "Tiramisu" was the codename of the 13th version of what mobile
operating system, developed primarily by Google? This operating
system's mascot is a cute, unnamed, green robot.

6. What name is given to the component of an operating system
that interfaces between hardware and software? This word is
also something you may not want to accidentally encounter when
you're eating popcorn.

7. Though not the best-known, the HSL model, the similar HSV model,
and the subtractive CMYK model, may all be used to describe
what property of a pixel?

8. Please complete the previous question before decoding the

9. The kibibyte ["ki-beh-byte" or "ki-bee-byte"] is a quantity used
to distinguish between a decimal definition of a kilobyte as
1,000 bytes and a binary definition where it is what slightly
larger number? This number is 2 to the 10th power.

10. So, by the decimal definition, a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes;
a megabyte is 1,000 kilobytes; and a gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes.
What unit, abbreviated TB, is 1,000 gigabytes?

* Game 3, Round 3 - Sports - Pro Wrestlers by Nickname

We'll give you the well-known nickname of a pro wrestler, and you
give either their real name or stage name. Full names required
where applicable. For example, if we say "The Peoples' Champ",
you can say "The Rock" or "Dwayne Johnson", but not just "Johnson".

1. The Body.
2. Macho Man.
3. The Snake.
4. Stone Cold.
5. The Hitman.
6. The Nature Boy.
7. The American Dream.
8. The Heartbreak Kid.
9. The Million-Dollar Man.
10. The 8th Wonder of the World.

Android

I have not paying attention, but it appears that they have been
skipping some letters. I think Android 11 was Pie. I don't know
about Android 12, and Q is a little difficult. But why T for Android 13?
I guess I need to do some research once I've posted my response.

Indeed, I have not been paying attention. Pie was Android 9.

To my defense, if I understand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history correctly, Pie was
the last version where it was part of the official name. Since then it
has been Android 10 etc. Tiramisu seems to only be an internal code name.

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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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.

* Game 3, Round 4 - Canadiana History - Alberta Politics

Today is election day in Alberta, so in honor of that, here are
10 questions about Alberta politics over the years.

1. Today his son is perhaps better-known, but this man served as
Social Credit premier of Alberta from 1943 to 1968. Who?

2. <answer 1> was followed by a Conservative dynasty of 8 premiers
that was ended only when who was elected premier in 2015?

3. That result in the 2015 election was helped by vote-splitting
on the right. What was the name of the party, led at the time by
Danielle Smith, that siphoned off votes from the Conservatives?

4. Alberta's relationship with the rest of Canada was forever
changed by the discovery of oil in 1947 at which town, 33 km
south of Edmonton?

5. "Let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark." This federal
program, introduced in 1980 to promote Canadian energy
self-sufficiency, was extremely unpopular in Alberta, and
contributed to the decline of the Liberal Party in Alberta
politics. Name it.

6. A portion of Alberta's revenue from oil and gas production is
invested for future generations into what wealth fund,
established under premier Peter Lougheed?

7. Centered around Tom Flanagan, Rainer Knopff, Ted Morton,
and Barry Cooper, this group of academics inspired and mentored
Conservative and Reform figures such as Stephen Harper and
Danielle Smith. Name the group.

8. This man was elected in 2010 for the first of three terms as
mayor of Calgary. He is the first Muslim to become mayor of
a large North American city. Who?

9. Bill 1 of Danielle Smith's first session as premier was which
controversial act, which directs "political entities" to not
enforce "federal rules deemed harmful to Alberta's interests"?

10. Danielle Smith has been subject to an ethics investigation
over conversations with street pastor Artur Pawlowski, who
faced criminal charges for his actions at the blockade of which
Alberta border crossing?

* Game 3, Round 5 - Audio - 100 Years, 100 Songs

Surprise! Here's an audio round that's playable without the
audio, so you get three rounds in this set. And for extra fun,
I'm converting this one into a bonus round.

Among the American Film Institute's many lists is "100 Years,
100 Songs": the top 100 American-movie songs of all time. In the
original game a clip was played for each one; here I'll just give
you the title.

In each case, for normal points, just name the relevant movie
from the AFI's list; for a 2-point bonus, also name the singer or
group who performed it in the movie. *Note*: For each guess you
make at the movie title, you are allowed one and only one guess
at the performer. You can only score the bonus if you have the
title correct.

1. "Moon River".
2. "Mrs. Robinson".
3. "As Time Goes By".
4. "Over the Rainbow".
5. "Up Where We Belong".
6. "My Favorite Things".
7. "My Heart Will Go On".
8. "Wind Beneath My Wings".
9. "I Will Always Love You".
10. "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head".

* Game 3, Round 6 - Literature - Spy Literature

1. Created by John le Carré to be a more realistic version of
a British spy (as opposed to, say, James Bond), this short,
overweight, balding spymaster appears in 9 of le Carré's books,
including "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "The Spy who Came
In from the Cold". Name this character.

2. Born David Webb, this character took on a new name for his
career as a spy, and under that new name has gone on to feature
in over 17 novels, most notably an initial trilogy by his
creator Robert Ludlum. Name this character.

3. Len Deighton's "The IPCRESS File" is the first of 7 books
featuring an unnamed protagonist. Movie adaptations starring
Michael Caine did give the hero a name, and it is by this name
that the book series is now generally known. What is that name?

4. This Rudyard Kipling title character grows up as an orphan on
the streets of Lahore, Pakistan, before being trained to be a
spy to take part in the "Great Game" between Britain and Russia
during the late 19th century. Name the character.

5. Vivienne Michel, a Canadian woman managing a motel in the
Adirondacks, is the main character of what Ian Fleming novel?
In the final third of the novel she is saved from being
murdered by mobsters when James Bond just happens to stop by
the motel thanks to a flat tire. Of course she falls for him.
Name the novel.

6. Prior to becoming the Governor-General of Canada, John Buchan
created the character of Richard Hannay, a mining engineer who
becomes embroiled in a plot to steal naval defense plans on the
eve of World War I. A Scot in the novel, Hannay's nationality
was changed to Canadian in Alfred Hitchcock's subsequent movie
adaptation. Name the novel.

7. After working for MI6 during World War II, much of this author's
subsequent work took a satirical and largely critical view of the
world of espionage, including in novels like "Our Man in Havana",
"The Quiet American", and "The Third Man". Name the author.

8. This prolific British author gained his early massive success
with 5 successive spy thrillers, including "Eye of the
Needle" (1978), "The Key to Rebecca" (1980) and "The Man from
St. Petersburg" (1982), before moving on to historical fiction
about the construction of a cathedral in the 12th century.
Name the author.

9. Identify the Polish-born author of "The Secret Agent" (1907)
and "Under Western Eyes" (1911).

10. The non-fiction book "A Man Called Intrepid" tells the story
of a real-life World War II spymaster. He acted as a
critical liaison between the American and British intelligence
services and played a key role in the creation of the CIA.
Name either the Canadian journalist who authored the book,
or the Manitoba-born spy who is its subject.
