These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2024-03-11,
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 Misplaced Modifiers
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*)".

* Game 6, Round 7 - Science - A Trip to Best Buy

All questions are inspired by merchandise found at Best Buy.

1. For about $120, you can buy this device that uses a thermal
"drop-on-demand" method. Electrical pulses vaporize the solvent,
which then bubbles up and forces out a series of tiny droplets
in rapid succession. What item are you buying?

2. When a micropohone captures ambient sound and a wave is produced
with the same amplitude but with an inverted phase, the result is
what engineers might call "destructive interference". What do
Apple Airpod Max and other high-end headphone manufacturers
call it? Give the full 3-word name or the usual abreviation.

3. You need to replace your 5-disc Blu-ray Box set of the
"Twilight Saga" series (only $80, but you'll pay any price).
Curiously, Blu-ray is not really blue. The laser diode emits
at 405 nanometers on the electromagnetic spectrum, while blue
is in the 450 to 490 range. What color actually appears to
the human eye at 405 nm?

4. The LG 600 series (only $2,699.00) uses a copper coil to produce
an oscillating magnetic field. This induces an electric
current when you introduce a ferrous metal. The result is
resistive heating. What is an LG 600?

5. Most TVs display at 60 Hz, some now at 120 Hz; but the Hisense
65" UHD Smart TV offers a whopping 144 Hz so the hockey puck
will never blur. What do these values measure?

6. The Dyson HP07 air purifier ($699.99) uses activated carbon
to effectively capture all sorts of airborne matter. While it
appears to absorb these molecules and particles, they actually
get attached to the outside surface of the activated carbon
filter, not absorbed. What is the correct term for this?

7. The Samsung 17.5 cubic ft. refrigerator sells for $1,599.99.
It uses the refrigerant R600a, one of the most environmentally
friendly refrigerants in use. It's a hydrocarbon with formula
C4H10. What is it commonly known as?

8. It's used more than any other desiccant, and it comes with
almost every cell phone you buy. What's in those little packets
that invariably say "do not eat"?

9. It was once cutting-edge, but it lost the TV tech wars. It used
little gas pockets that when ionized became the fourth state
of matter -- hence the name. What was it?

10. Please decode the rot13 only after you have finished with the
previous questions. Fnzfhat vf fryyvat guvf cebqhpg sbe $190.75.

* Game 6, Round 8 - History - Mozart

1. The winner of the 1984 best picture Oscar starred Tom Hulse
as Mozart. Name that movie.

2. The serenade "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" is one of Mozart's most
popular works. Which Stephen Sondheim musical has a title that
translates that German phrase?

3. In what city or town was Mozart born?

4. Which Mozart opera, inspired by Freemasonry, was filmed by
Ingmar Bergman in 1975? Answer in English.

5. Which Italian composer was the subject of unjustified suspicions
that he had poisoned Mozart?

6. Mozart is buried in an unmarked grave in which city or town?

7. Which work, left unfinished at Mozart's death, was completed
the following year by Franz Süssmayr?

8. Give any year in which Wolfgang Mozart was alive.

9. In 1862 an attempt was made to number Mozart's works
chronologically. These numbers are still used today. Each
number is preceded by the same letter of the alphabet, the
initial of the creator of the catalogue. What is that letter?

10. Some of Mozart's symphonies have names. One of them is named
for which planet?

Active Noise Cancellation or Control (ANC). I decided to accept
other 3-word references to noise cancellation as almost correct.
So, 3 for Dan Tilque, Erland, and Pete.
