These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 1998-02-16,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, 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 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

I probably wrote 6 questions in one of these rounds.

** Game 4, Round 9 - Science - Systems Analysis

Questions #1-4 pertain to the endocrine system, whose organs
secrete hormones internally; these hormones affect other organs
or body structures. Please see the diagram:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/oo4/9/end.jpg

1. Name gland #1. Two of its hormones regulate the production
of mature T-lymphocytes, which are essential to the body's
immune system. One hormone it secretes is thymopoietin
["thy-mo-POY-et-in"].

2. Name gland #2. It secretes the hormone melatonin, whose
secretion increases in the absence of light and which has
a role in the development of the gonads.

3. Name gland #7 (the bigger one with a group of smaller glands,
#8, behind it). Two hormones it secretes help regulate the
body's rate of metabolism.

4. Name gland #11. The hormones it secretes play a major role in
the body's storage and utilization of carbohydrates.

Questions #5-10 pertain to the skeletal system. In each
case name the bone indicated -- and we're looking for the formal
medical *Latin* word, e.g. "femur" rather than "thighbone".

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/oo4/9/ske.jpg

5. Bone A.
6. Bone B.
7. Bone C. (This is roughly triangular and is separate from D.)
8. Bone H.
9. Bone J. (The irregularly shaped bone with teeth attached to it.)
10. Bone L.

So there were 7 decoys in each set. If you like -- for fun, but
for no points -- decode the rot13 to see more information and to
identify most of them

Community centers ("recreation centers" or "swimming pools" was
acceptable).

It's actually Allan Lamport Stadium, because that's how the man's
name was spelled.

"Old city", of course, refers to the city limits before the
"Megacity" amalgamation of 1998.

(Public) libraries.

Rance Mulliniks.
