These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-05-09,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Misplaced Modifiers, 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 recent companion posting on
"Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

* Game 1, Round 7 - Canadiana Science - Canadian Environmentalists
and Conservationists

1. Jack McGinnis passed away in January of """this year""".
The Toronto resident is credited with the design and pilot
projects for a simple device that has become an international
icon of environmental consciousness. What was McGinnis's
innovation?

2. This Montreal-born environmental activist is credited with
founding that city's curbside recycling program. In Edmonton,
he once locked himself in a safe in Ralph Klein's office to
protest the province's stand on the Kyoto Accord. In 2000
he ran a distant but creditable second to Mel Lastman in the
Toronto mayoralty race. Name him.

3. In 1971, the Vancouver-based environmental group "Don't Make a
Wave" chartered a fishing boat called the Phyllis Cormack for a
seaborne protest. They rechristened the boat, and its new name
was later also adopted as the name of the group. What was the
boat's -- and the group's -- new name?

Please answer #3 before decoding the rot13 for the next two questions.

6. This well-known Canadian activist """has""" her finger in just
about everything, including our drinking water. She """is"""
a co-founder of the "Blue Planet" right-to-water project, chair
of the Washington-based "Food and Water Watch", and has served
as senior advisor on water to the United Nations. Name her.

7. Born 1865, died 1944, this ornithologist and public lecturer
turned his property in Essex County into a bird sanctuary and
began banding birds to record their migratory habits from 1909.
Canada's wildlife week is celebrated each year in the week of
his birthday, April 10. Name him.

8. Born Archibald Belaney in England in 1888, he created a false
identity for himself as a pure-blood Ojibway. His hoax
fooled the world, and for decades he toured and lectured on
the importance of conservation. Consequently, by what name
is Belaney better known?

9. Alberta drywaller Wiebo Ludwig """is""" probably Canada's most
famous eco-terrorist. He was convicted in 2001 of bombings
and other acts of sabotage. Against what?

10. The first person to hold this Canadian political post, from
1983 to 1984, was Dr. Trevor Hancock. Others since have included
Kathryn Cholette, Joan Russow and, from 2003 to 2006, Jim Harris.
Which political office? Be fully specific.

* Game 1, Round 8 - Miscellaneous - Salad Greens

Nobody serves just iceberg lettuce any more. It's about time you
showed off your knowledge of that "Mesclun mix" on your plate next
to your burger.

We give you the name of the salad green, including alternate names.
You give its letter on the 2-page handout:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g1r8/greens.pdf

1. Frisée, also known as curly endive, chicory endive, or curly
chicory.

2. Dandelion leaf.

3. Radicchio ["ra-dick-ee-yo"], also known as chioggia, red chicory,
red leaf chicory, or red Italian chicory.

4. Mizuna, also known as Japanese greens, spider mustard, kyona,
potherb mustard, California peppergrass, or xue cai
["shway-tsigh"].

5. Escarole, also known as broad-leaved endive, scarole, or
Batavian endive.

6. Red oakleaf lettuce.

7. Baby beet leaf.

8. Red mustard leaf.

9. Arugula, also known as rocket, Mediterranean rocket, roquette,
Italian cress, rugola, rugula, or rucola.

10. Baby spinach.

After you have finished with these, decode the rot13 if you want to
see what the others are, and give the letters if you like for fun,
but for no points.

11. Na npghny bnx yrns.

The blue box. I scored "recycling bin" as almost correct. (I reckon
the color isn't important but the style is.) 3 for Dan Tilque.
