Rocksolid Light - rec.games.trivia - RQFTCICR14 Game 5, Rounds 2-3 answers: burnings and wood

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-02-10,
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 5, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)

Answer these 2014 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.

1. Battling mass unrest against his rule, Ukraine's president faced
demands from the opposition this week for a constitutional
change that would seriously curtail his powers. Who is he?

2. The US Federal Reserve made a historic appointment this week
when it named a female chair. What is her name?

* Game 5, Round 2 - Literature - If You Don't Like It, Burn It

1. The 1988 publication of this novel provoked angry demonstrations
and riots around the world by followers of Islam, including
book-burnings in the English cities of Bolton and Bradford,
and firebombings of 5 British and 2 California bookstores.
What novel?

2. And speaking of religion... William Tyndale's edition of the
Bible was burned in 1526, but this wasn't enough to stop him,
so in 1536 he too was publicly burned. What was it about
his version of the Bible that was so horrible it led to both
punishments?

3. This term was invented by George Orwell in his dystopian
novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" as the nickname for the chutes
in the Ministry of Truth down which all inconvenient documents
were sent to be to totally incinerated such that "not even the
ash remains". Now it may be used for any mechanism for the
alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing
documents, photographs, transcripts, or other records,
particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression
that something never happened. What's the term?

4. On 1959-10-03, in the Ontario city of Ft. William (now part
of Thunder Bay), over 700 copies of this British book were
burned at the mayor's behest in order to avoid running afoul of
Canada's newly passed obscenity law. Despite (or more likely
because of) such activities, the book ended up being ranked the
second-best-selling book in Canada for the second half of 1959.
Name it.

5. This man, who should be near and dear to our hearts (though
not for any reason described here), promoted the burning of
non-Catholic literature, especially the Jewish Talmud and Arabic
books, after the final defeat of the Moors at Granada in 1492.

6. In Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel "Fahrenheit 451", the
protagonist, Guy Montag, starts out as a member of this
profession charged with burning the possessions of anyone caught
possessing books. What name, which would undoubtedly appear
ironic to the reader, was used for this profession in the book?

7. The night of 1933-05-10 has gone down as one of the most
ominous mass book-burnings of all time. Upward of 25,000
volumes were burned. Who was behind these book-burnings?

8. Okay, the remaining questions aren't actually about literature.
But anyway, in 2003, which musical group's records were burned
after they declared that they were "ashamed that the President
of the United States is from Texas"?

9. In 1982, a youth minister in North Carolina led a group in
burning albums and cassettes of various popular artists,
in an attempt to destroy the purported hidden messages in
"Satan's records". What technique did the minister claim was
being used to hide these messages?

10. This claim made by John Lennon led to public burnings of
Beatles records and memorabilia in August 1966. What was
Lennon's controversial statement?

* Game 5, Round 3 - Canadiana - Canadian Wood-Frame House Construction

The following are some questions based on CMHC's best-selling
"Canadian Wood Frame House Construction" booklet. (I suspect
someone was desperate for an idea for a Canadiana round...)

*Note*: I am not checking for a newer version of this booklet.
Only answers that were correct in the original game will be
accepted.

1. Name the concrete strip poured below a foundation wall to
increase the area of load-bearing soil for the wall.

2. A wood member is bolted to the top of a foundation wall to
provide bearing and connection for a wood-frame floor or a wall.
What is this member called?

3. Name the vertical structural members in a wood frame wall.
They are usually 2×4's or 2×6's (38×89 or 38×140 mm).

4. Name the horizontal structural members usually spaced at
16" or 24" (400 or 600 mm) on centers.

5. Name the sloping wood members which make up a roof structure.

6. Any openings in stud walls require supports for the part of
the wall above them, and loads transmitted through it. What
are these supports called?

7. In contemporary suburban homes, roofs are often made up of a
number of smaller sections. Usually prefabricated and often
in a W configuration, these assemblies are called what?

8. Exterior walls in most suburban homes consist of an insulated
wood-stud wall with a single wythe of masonry 3½" (90 mm)
thick tied to it, then a 1" (25 mm) air space. What is this
type of wall called?

9. On the exterior side of an exterior wood-stud wall or roof is
a layer of plywood or some similar manufactured wood product
such as oriented strand board. What is this layer called?

10. To prevent moisture from inside the building penetrating a
wall and condensing inside of it, a sheet material -- usually
6-mil (0.15 mm) polyethylene -- is installed between the
interior finish and the studs, providing an air seal. What is
this layer called?

Viktor Yanukovych. Erland got this.

It was less than 2 weeks after the original game that the Ukrainian
legislature voted 328-0 to remove him from office. Putin's government
in Russia supported him and went to war against Ukraine.

Janet Yellen. Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, and Erland got this.

"The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie. 4 for everyone -- Joshua,
Dan Blum, Pete, Dan Tilque, and Erland.

It was in English. 4 for Joshua and Dan Tilque.

Memory hole. 4 for Joshua and Dan Blum.

"Lady Chatterley's Lover", by D.H. Lawrence, originally published
in 1928. 4 for Joshua and Dan Blum.

Because, as you know from Robert J. Sawyer's 1990 novel "Golden
Fleece", one of the Canadian Inquisition's two divisions is named
after him (and still will be in 2177).

Specifically it was the German Students Union, but any reference to
the Nazi regime was acceptable. 4 for everyone.

The Dixie Chicks. 4 for Joshua, Pete, Dan Tilque, and Erland.

They were recorded backwards ("backward masking"). 4 for Joshua,

"We're more popular than Jesus." (I accepted "bigger" as having
that meaning.) 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, and Erland.
