These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-07-23,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of What She Said and/or of Smith & Guessin', 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 2021-07-20
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

** Final, Round 4 - Geography

* Shared Deserts

1. What desert spans Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan?
It's the 16th-largest desert in the world.

2. Two deserts span Mexico and the United States. One is the
Sonoran Desert (15th-largest). The other is the 11th-largest
desert in the world. What is it?

3. What desert spans Pakistan and India? It's the 18th-largest
desert in the world by size.

* Islands' Largest Cities

We name the largest city (by population) on an island; you name
the island. (Country not required.)

4. Hobart.
5. Sapporo.
6. Cagliari.

* Previously Known As

We give you a historic name of a country (perhaps from colonial
times); you give the current name.

7. Upper Volta.
8. South-West Africa.
9. French Sudan (Soudan).

* Who Borders Who?

We name all the countries surrounding a particular country, in
clockwise order; you name that country.

10. Kazakhstan, China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan.
11. Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia.
12. Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania,
Rwanda.

* Dissecting Norway

Please see the handout: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-4/norway.png>

Within the flag of Norway can be found the flags of 6 other nations
(if you aren't too fussy about things like the exact shade or
red or blue). There are almost 9, but Yugoslavia is no more,
Luxembourg requires way too pale a blue, and the need to avoid
the red leaves the blue stripes too wide for Finland.

Name the flags contained within the Norwegian flag:

13. Rectangle B.
14. Rectangle E.
15. Rectangle D corresponds to two different countries' flags;
name *either*.

So there were three decoys, only two of which are actual national
flags (assuming the hoist is to the left, as is conventional).
Identify the two countries if you like for fun, but for no points.

16. Rectangle A.

17. Rectangle C.

18. Rectangle F.

** Final, Round 6 - Sports

* Name the Soccer Player

*Note*: In each case you must name the person in the photo whether
the description is out of date or not.

Dutchman, """current""" Barclay's Premier League Golden Boot

*Note*: Again, name only the person in the photo.

4. Name this <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-6/poker/4.jpg>
Canadian poker player. He is """currently""" second-highest

poll of Canadian sportswriters and broadcasters conducted by

Rogers Sportsnet, La Presse, etc.). In 1999 this award went to
a woman, Caroline Brunet. In *what sport* was she exceptional?

9. Name the Russian-born Canadian who won gold (4×100 m relay) and
silver (100 m dash) in Amsterdam in 1928. In a single day of
the National Track Championship she placed first in discus,

other events. She was also an accomplished basketball, hockey,
softball, golf, and lacrosse player. The """current""" Canadian
Press award for Female Athlete of the Year is named for her.

sport; you name the *sport*.

10. "13.1. The first team listed in the official program will wear
white caps or the caps reflecting the colour of their country
and will start the game to the left of the official table.
The other team will wear blue caps or caps of a contrasting
colour and will start the game to the right of the table."

both arms away from his chest until his arms are fully extended,
palms out.

No country.

In 2013 I looked for real flags resembling this one.
The most similar one that I found was for the state of
Alagoas in Brazil, which adds a coat of arms in the center:
