* Game 3, Round 6 - History - 1924
Did you know, 100 years ago it was 1924? It's true! So, 10
questions about one century previous.
In 1924...
2. Who was in office as President of the United States?
3. The first Winter Olympics were held... in *what city*?
4. What Summer Olympics were held... in *what city*?
5. What empire formally came to its end when its ruler was deposed?
6. Which Asian country was first formally established as a modern,
independent nation-state (instead of only ever being organized
at a tribal level)?
8. Which composer debuted his or her 7th Symphony in March in
Stockholm?
* Game 3, Round 4 - Sports - Top National Soccer Leagues
Most countries with organized soccer operate under the system of
promotion and relegation, and therefore have a topmost league.
We'll name the top league and the football confederation where
they compete internationally (i.e. Europe, Africa, North America,
South America, Asia, or Oceania, *not* necsssarily corresponding
to the continents), and you tell us *what country* that league
operates in. For example, if we said "Europe: the Premier League",
the answer would be England. (Note that some of these leagues
include official sponsors in their names.)

* Game 3, Round 5 - Audio - Broadway Movie Adaptations
Broadway, for some time now, has been adapting Hollywood movies as
source material for new musicals, many of which receive multiple
Tony nominations and awards. We'll tell you the year a movie was
released, how many Tony Awards the musical adaptation won, and in
the original game we's play you a clip from its Broadway score;
here you'll give you the song title instead.
In each case you must give the title of the Broadway musical,
which may or may not be the same as the movie's.
(Note also that we're giving you the year of the original movie
being adapted; some of these Broadway musicals were eventually
adapted back into film musicals, because nobody has original ideas
any more.)
1. "Vamp"; 1959 movie; 4 Tonys in 2022.
2. "Omar Sharif"; 2007 movie; 10 Tonys in 2018.

won 2 Tonys.

a later revival won 2 Tonys.
