These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-09-25,
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 the Usual Suspects and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

I wrote both of these rounds.

* Game 2, Round 7 - Science - Angles in Geometry

Please see either copy of the diagram at:
http://www.vex.net/~msb/tmp/g2r7/geo.pdf
(The pages were cut in half to make handouts for the original game.)

and note that points are labeled by capital letters, angles by
small letters.

1. The little square symbol at point B indicates that lines AB
and BC form a right angle. Therefore, in a single word, these
two lines are what?

2. Lines BC and DE are what?
3. A right angle equals how many radians?

4. For the next few questions we will ask "which one" of the
lettered angles meets some requirement. Despite this wording,
in some cases more than one answer is correct. And answers may
repeat, so don't cross them off your diagram. Now, which one
of the lettered angles is an external angle of the triangle ABC?

5. Angle v and which one of the lettered angles are complementary?
6. Angle v and which one of the lettered angles are supplementary?

7. Which one of the lettered angles is acute?

8. Please decode the rot13 only after you are finished with the
previous question. Natyrf j naq m ner abg nphgr; gurl ner
jung glcr?

9. If angles v, w, and x are added to form a single angle, this
is what type?

10. Triangles ABC and ADE are not the same size, but their
corresponding angles are equal, making them the same shape.
In geometrical terms they are what?

* Game 2, Round 8 - Sports - Numbers

Please see the handout at: http://www.vex.net/~msb/tmp/g2r8/numb.jpg

We name a player; you identify them by number. Note: some of them
have sometimes worn other numbers.

1. Tom Brady.
2. Kobe Bryant.
3. Mickey Mantle.
4. Maurice Richard.
5. Johan Cruyff.
6. Ricky Ray.
7. Johnny Bower.
8. Pele.
9. Wilt Chamberlain.
10. Babe Ruth.

So there were 6 decoys. If you like, for fun but for no points,
decode the rot13 to see the player names, and give their numbers.

12. Wbr Zbagnan.
13. Obool Bee.

This was the easiest round in the original game, even though one of
the photos was wrong -- I somehow had Johan Cruyff's photo identified
as Thierry Henry (who did also wear number 14, but sheesh).

Stephen, and Pete.
