These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-01-28,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, 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 recent companion
posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(RQFTCI*)".

* Game 1, Round 4 - History - "Time" Person of the Year

The Person of the Year (or formerly the Man/Woman/etc. of the Year,
varying as applicable) is an annual feature of the US newsmagazine
"Time" that profiles a person, group, idea, or object that "for
better or worse, has done the most to influence the events of
the year."

Each of the following questions refers to a specific person.
Name them.

1. She was the first Woman of the Year, in 1936.
2. This religious leader was Man of the Year in 1962.
3. This political leader was Person of the Year in 2001.
4. This business innovator was Person of the Year in 1999.
5. He was a national leader and Man of the Year in 1939 and 1942.
6. He was an American general named Man of the Year in 1943
and 1947.

7. She was an Asian national leader and reformer and Person of
the Year in 1986.

8. He was an Asian national leader and reformer and Man of the
Year in 1978 and 1985.

9. He was the first Man of the Year, in 1927, for an accomplishment
that took place that year.

10. He was Man of the Year in 1935, and leader of his country
until 1974 except for a period of wartime occupation.

* Game 1, Round 6 - Sports - The Color of Sports

In this round we give you a clue about an athlete whose *first name,
last name, or nickname* involves a color. Athletes will not repeat,
but colors or surnames may.

For questions #1-3 you must give the full nickname, like "the
Red Baron".

1. If not for Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus would probably be the
unanimous choice for "greatest golfer of all time". What
"""is""" this Ohio native's nickname?

2. Bobby Hull was one of the best, and apparently passed his genes
on to his son who also had a stellar hockey career. What
"""is""" Bobby's *son's* nickname?

3. Billy Johnson played 18 years in the NFL (as well as one season,
1981, with the Montreal Alouettes), and his touchdown-celebrating
"Funky Chicken" dance started the craze for end-zone antics.
A fleet-footed punt and kickoff return specialist, what """is"""
his sartorial nickname?

For questions #4-10, we need the surname *and, if it is not the
surname*, the part of the name containing a color. For example,
if the answer was Jack Black, "Black" would suffice, but if it was
"Black Jack" Pershing, we'd need the whole thing.

4. Born in Ottawa and raised in Rossland, BC, she was voted
Canada's Female Athlete of the 20th Century, and """currently"""
holds a seat in the Canadian Senate.

5. This Toronto Maple Leaf hockey """alumnus""" played for the
team while holding a seat in the Canadian House of Commons.

6. This Football Hall of Famer starred in the movies "The Dirty
Dozen" and "100 Rifles" after playing 8 seasons in Cleveland.

7. This 1971 Cy Young Award winning pitcher played the majority
of his career with the Oakland Athletics.

8. He was the coach of Basketball's Boston Celtics during their
record run of 9 consecutive NBA championships from 1956-57
through 1965-66.

9. This Pittsburgh Steeler defensive lineman showed he wasn't all
that bad in an famous advertisement for a popular soft drink.

10. """Today's baseball players are suspended""" for drug use,
but this former Cincinnati Red was banned for life for a
different addiction.

Indeed. Bernard Montgomery was a British general (and then field marshal).
