• RQFTCINO13 Game 4, Rounds 4,6: Dr. Strangelove, collectors

    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 22 07:18:34 2022
    These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-02-25,
    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 2022-09-09
    companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
    Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".


    * Game 4, Round 4 - History: Dr. Strangelove

    This is actually a round on the history associated with the
    development of nuclear weapons.

    1. What was the code name of the US-led project in World War II
    to develop a nuclear weapon?

    2. There were many facilities involved with <answer 1> at various
    locations in the US, UK, and Canada. But in what city or town
    was the bomb designed?

    3. Who was the theoretical physicist from Berkeley who supervised
    the bomb-design part of the project?

    4. On 1945-07-16, the first test of a nuclear device was performed.
    What was the code name of this test?

    5. On 1945-08-06, a nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
    The next one was dropped three days later... where?

    6. Two bomb designs were used at Hiroshima and <answer 5>, and
    each had its own code name. Name either one. You don't need
    to say which it was.

    7. Within one year, when did the USSR test their first nuclear bomb?

    8. The US and USSR were the first two countries to possess nuclear
    weapons. What was the third?

    9. Within one year, when was the first hydrogen bomb tested?

    10. Who participated in the hydrogen bomb design and is widely
    known as the "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb"?


    * Game 4, Round 6 - Leisure - Collectors

    This is a round on collecting hobbies. We give you the description
    of the object a person is collecting and you choose from the handout
    list the word for what this person would be called. Remember,
    these are not obsessive-compulsive behaviors... but hobbies.

    * Game 4, Round 4 - History: Dr. Strangelove

    This is actually a round on the history associated with the
    development of nuclear weapons.

    1. What was the code name of the US-led project in World War II
    to develop a nuclear weapon?

    Manhattan Project. 4 for everyone -- Erland, Dan Blum, Joshua,
    and Dan Tilque.

    2. There were many facilities involved with <answer 1> at various
    locations in the US, UK, and Canada. But in what city or town
    was the bomb designed?

    Los Alamos. 4 for everyone.

    The secret city of Oak Ridge, "somewhere in Tennessee", was devoted
    to the extraction of uranium 235, not to bomb design.

    3. Who was the theoretical physicist from Berkeley who supervised
    the bomb-design part of the project?

    J. Robert Oppenheimer. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque.

    4. On 1945-07-16, the first test of a nuclear device was performed.
    What was the code name of this test?

    Trinity. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque.

    5. On 1945-08-06, a nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
    The next one was dropped three days later... where?

    Nagasaki, duh. 4 for everyone.

    6. Two bomb designs were used at Hiroshima and <answer 5>, and
    each had its own code name. Name either one. You don't need
    to say which it was.

    Little Boy, Fat Man (respectively). 4 for Erland, Dan Blum, Joshua
    (the hard way), and Dan Tilque.

    The Trinity test was a Fat Man bomb, by the way. That one used
    plutonium whereas Little Boy used uranium 235, and they only had
    enough U-235 for one bomb. But Little Boy was also the simpler
    design, so they were confident it didn't need testing anyway.

    7. Within one year, when did the USSR test their first nuclear bomb?

    1949 (accepting 1948-50). 4 for Erland, Dan Blum, and Dan Tilque.

    8. The US and USSR were the first two countries to possess nuclear
    weapons. What was the third?

    The UK. They had contributed to the Manhattan Project. 4 for
    everyone.

    9. Within one year, when was the first hydrogen bomb tested?

    1952 (accepting 1951-53). 4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.

    10. Who participated in the hydrogen bomb design and is widely
    known as the "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb"?

    Edward Teller. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque.
