• QFTCI23 Game 2, Rounds 7-8: angles and numbers

    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 20 05:39:39 2023
    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.

    11. Yhv Cnffntyvn.
    12. Wbr Zbagnan.
    13. Obool Bee.
    14. Fgna Zhfvny.
    15. Arlzne.

    * 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.

    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).

    1. Tom Brady.

    Number 12. 4 for everyone -- Joshua, Dan Tilque, Erland, Dan Blum,
    Stephen, and Pete.

    2. Kobe Bryant.

    Number 8. 4 for Joshua, Erland, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Pete.

    3. Mickey Mantle.

    Number 7. 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, Stephen, and Pete. 3 for
    Dan Blum.

    4. Maurice Richard.

    Number 9. 4 for Joshua, Stephen, and Pete.

    5. Johan Cruyff.

    Number 14. 4 for Joshua, Erland, Stephen, and Pete.

    6. Ricky Ray.

    Number 15. 4 for Stephen.

    7. Johnny Bower.

    Number 1. 4 for Stephen and Pete.

    8. Pele.

    Number 10. 4 for Joshua, Erland, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Pete.

    9. Wilt Chamberlain.

    Number 13. 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, Stephen, and Pete.
    2 for Dan Blum.

    10. Babe Ruth.

    Number 3. 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, Stephen, and Pete. 3 for
    Dan Blum.

    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.

    11. Lui Passaglia.

    Number 5.

    12. Joe Montana.

    Number 16. Joshua and Pete got this.

    13. Bobby Orr.

    Number 4. Joshua, Erland, and Pete got this.

    14. Stan Musial.

    Number 6. Joshua and Pete got this.

    15. Neymar.

    Number 11. Erland and Pete got this.

    16. Kawhi Leonard.

    Number 2. Joshua and Pete got this.
