These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-02-03,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Cellar Rats, 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 4, Round 9 - Canadiana - Radio

(This round was designated as Canadiana after the original game
when they realized they hadn't designated a Canadiana round and
most of the questions are Canadiana.)

1. What """are""" the call letters for the Toronto FM station
"Jazz FM 91"?

2. In MHz, what FM frequency """does""" CBC Radio 1 broadcast on
in Toronto?

3. The low end of the FM radio broadcast band """is""" 88 MHz.
To the nearest whole megahertz, within 1, what """is""" the
high end?

4. In AM radio, what does "AM" stand for?

5. What is the FM frequency of the Radio-Canada station "Espace
Musique"?

6. Johnny Lombardi started a family-owned multicultural station
in the 1960s, which """supports""" an annual picnic.
What """are""" the call letters of this station?

7. On what station """does""" classic rocker Kim Mitchell host a
radio program?

8. What """is""" the name of the all-night radio show originating
from California, """broadcast locally on Talk Radio AM 640""",
which deals in supernatural, UFO, conspiracy, and other
non-mainstream subjects? """It is broadcast nightly from
1 to 5 am, and usually repeated again from 9 pm to 1 am the
next evening."""

"older but active segment of the population". It """has"""

10. Moses Znaimer """is""" also part-owner of another
primarily-music station, at 96.3 on the FM band. What
kind of music """does""" it play?

** Game 4, Round 10 - Super Challenge Round

Your categories are:

A. Supermen
B. Super Science
C. Super Sports
D. Superpowers
E. Super Cars
F. Super Music

* A. Supermen

A1. The 4-act drama "Man and Superman" is based on the legendary
fictional libertine Don Juan. Who wrote this play?

A2. Which 19th-century philosopher developed the concept of the
"Übermensch", or Superman, and said that "Man is a rope
stretched between the animal and the Superman -- a rope
over an abyss"?

* B. Super Science

B1. In a classic high-school chemistry experiment, water is
heated in a test tube, and a substance (usually a salt)
is dissolved in it. The water is then cooled, and ends up
with more of the salt dissolved in it than is normally
possible at the cooler temperature. Such a solution is
said to be what?

B2. This extension of the standard model of particle physics
says that every known particle has a yet-to-be discovered
sister particle: for example, squarks, selectrons and
neutralinos. What is the name given to this theory?

* C. Super Sports

C1. In Alpine skiing, what is the second-fastest of the four
disciplines? It was introduced as a World Cup event in
1983 and an Olympic event in 1988.

C2. These auto racing tracks are at least 2 miles long, have
banked turns, and are known for high speeds. There
"""are""" 7 in the United States, including Daytona,
Indianapolis, and Talladega. What are they called?

* D. Superpowers

D1. The term "superpower" in its current political meaning
was coined by geostrategist Nicholas Spykman in a series
of lectures. A year later, foreign policy professor
William T.R. Fox elaborated on the concept in the book
"The Super-Powers". (The word was originally hyphenated.)
Name *all three* countries that the term originally
applied to.

D2. Please decode the rot13 only after you are finished with the
previous question. Va jung pbhagel qvq gur yrnqref bs gur
HX, HF, naq HFFE ubyq gurve svefg zrrgvat, va yngr 1943?

* E. Super Cars

E1. The designation SS """is""" used after the model name for a
great many makes, particularly General Motors Chevrolet
products. What does SS stand for?

E2. How does a supercharger increase the performance of internal
combustion engines?

* F. Super Music

F1. Eric Clapton formed the supergroup Cream in 1966. Name *any
one* of the other members.

F2. In 1970 Clapton formed Derek and the Dominos. Again,

108 MHz (accepting 107-109). 4 for Joshua and Erland.

> 4. In AM radio, what does "AM" stand for?

Amplitude modulation. 4 for everyone -- Joshua, Dan Blum, Erland,
and Dan Tilque.

90.3. (Still true, but it's now called "Ici Musique".)

"Coast to Coast AM". I accepted anything with "Coast to Coast".
(As far as I can tell the show still exists, but is no longer carried
in Toronto.) 4 for Joshua.

> 9. Moses Znaimer's Zoomer radio station """is""" aimed at the

Zoomer Media. (All still true.)

Classical. (Also still true.)

Friedrich Nietzsche. 4 for everyone, though Joshua was the only
one to spell the name correctly.

Super G (super giant slalom). 4 for Joshua, Erland, and Dan Tilque.

Again, on this question I did not think I could accept "superslalom"
as almost correct.

Superspeedways. 4 for Joshua and Dan Blum.

I find conflicting information as to how many there are now.
NASCAR's own web site says in one place that there are just 2 --
Daytona and Talladega -- and in another place it lists 4.

The UK, the US, and the USSR. 4 for Joshua and Dan Tilque.

Iran. (The Tehran Conference.) 4 for Joshua.

Super Sport. (Chevrolet SS's are on longer made, but I am not
checking on other manufacturers.) 4 for Dan Tilque.

It increases the pressure in the air/fuel mixture, enabling more
mixture (not just more air) to enter the cylinders.

Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, and Erland (the
hard way).

In the original game this one was made somewhat harder because instead
of "Cream", the question writer wrote the name of Clapton's next group,
Blind Faith!

> F2. In 1970 Clapton formed Derek and the Dominos. Again,
> name *any one* of the other members.

Duane Allman, Jim Gordon, Dave Mason, Carl Radle, Bobby Whitlock.
4 for Joshua.

Pete Gayde

If Pete Gayde had posted his answers on time, he would have scored

(The other two were Rich Grech and Steve Winwood.)
