These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-02-03.
I will accept the answers that were correct then and there. If you
know that a question is out of date and a different answer is now
correct, please say so (either along with your answers, or in a
separate posting afterwards) and I will also accept that answer.

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.

See my July 23 companion posting "Old Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (OQFTCI)" for further details.

I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days.

I did not write these rounds.


Game 3, Round 2: Arts - Percussion Instruments

The questions in this round refer to the handout at:
http://torquiz.freeshell.org/2003-1/questions/game3/drumround.pdf

For the first five questions, you will be provided with the name
of a percussion instrument. Your job will be to identify the
corresponding number, located at the bottom left-hand corner of
each picture. Note: there may be two examples of the same instrument
in a picture, but we will give the singular name.

(For my convenience please quote the questions and put your answers on
the line following each one, the same as you would with longer answers.)

1. Clave (two syllables there).
1, 3
2. Djembe.
4, 18
3. Maracas.
6
4. Snare drum.
9
5. Sleighbells.
19
I've rot13ed the last five questions; please answer the first set
before deciphering them. In these questions you will be given the
number, and you must provide the name of the instrument. (You may
quote the questions in rot13 or plaintext format; doesn't matter.)

6. Identify number twelve.
Gong
7. Number one is what?
Spoons
8. How about fourteen?
Tom-Tom
9. Instrument number eleven; note that it has metal keys.
Glockenspiel
10. And number twenty-one, finally.>


Game 3, Round 3: Entertainment - Casting Against Gender

This round deals with movies in which women have been cast as men,
and vice versa. The same movie may be mentioned more than once.

1. This voluptuous actress was cast as King Zog of Albania in a
segment of the 1987 film "Aria" that was directed by her husband,
Nicholas Roeg.

2. In "Orlando", based on the book by Virginia Woolf, the
title character mysteriously changes sex from male to female.
Who portrayed Orlando?

3. In which 1959 movie did Peter Sellers play Tully Bascombe,
Prime Minister Count Mountjoy, and Grand Duchess Gloriana XII?

4. Which actress played an Asian man in "The Year of Living
Dangerously" in 1982, despite being neither male nor Asian?

5. Peter Pan was played by this woman in three TV-movies, in 1955,
1956, and 1960.

6. In the 2002 film "Nicholas Nickelby", the role of Mrs. Crummles
is played by Australian actor Barry Humphries, who also has a
regular gig playing a more famous female character. Name this
character.
Dame Edna Everage
7. This actor played eight roles in the 1949 film "Kind Hearts and
Coronets", one of which, Lady Agatha, was female.
Alec Guinness
8. In a 1989 time-travel flick, the same actor plays a man, his son,
and his daughter Marlene. Name the actor.
Michael J Fox
9. <answer 2> was not the only person playing a character of the
opposite sex in "Orlando". This occasional actor, better known
for his flamboyant personality and well-received autobiography,
was in his 80s when he took on the role of Queen Elizabeth I.
Name him.

10. We may be cheating a little on this question, but in which 1982
film did John Lithgow play a male-to-female transsexual?


Peter Smyth
