• RQFTCINO13 Game 1, Rounds 2-3: vitamins and borders

    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 9 16:26:06 2022
    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 1 - Current Events (excerpt)

    Answer these 2013 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.

    1. What iconic vehicle from the '60s was sold for $4,300,000
    in an auction in Arizona last week?

    2. As a result of games played on January 20, the Baltimore Ravens
    and the San Francisco 49ers earned berths in the Super Bowl
    game on February 3; and, for the first time, the two opposing
    head coaches are brothers. Their first names are John and Jim,
    but what is their family name?


    * Game 1, Round 2 - Science - Vitamins

    This is a round about vitamins. Some answers may repeat. In each
    case give the *letter of the vitamin*, except for the B vitamins,
    where we need the *letter and number*.

    1. Niacin is better known as what vitamin?
    2. Retinol is better known as what vitamin?

    4. Calciferol is better known as what vitamin?
    5. Tocopherol is better known as what vitamin?
    6. Riboflavin is better known as what vitamin?
    7. Rickets is caused by a deficiency of what vitamin?
    8. Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of what vitamin?
    9. In 1913, what become the first vitamin to be isolated?
    10. Besides the B vitamin complex, what other vitamin is
    water-soluble?


    * Game 1, Round 3 - Geography - Country Links

    We'll name two countries, and you give us the name of the only
    country which """touches""" both of them. (Land borders only.)

    1. Syria, Egypt.
    2. Gabon, Nigeria.
    3. Laos, Malaysia.
