These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-07-11,
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 2021-07-20 companion posting
on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

* Game 9, Round 4 - Sports - Martial Arts

We describe a martial art, you name it.

1. It means "the way of the sword" in Japanese, but a staff of four
bamboo slats tied together replaces the sword. Practitioners
wear helmets, masks, and protective equipment, and shout as
they strike each other.

2. This martial art is related to judo and is especially popular
in Brazil. It stresses negating the advantage of larger
stronger opponents by getting them on the ground to grapple with
submission holds, chokeholds, and joint locks. Known also as
BJJ or Jitz.

3. Ugly but effective, this martial art was developed in the slums
of Bratislava in the 1930s by Jewish youth defending themselves
against fascist gangs. Further refined in Israel after the
war, it is taught to armed forces there. It stresses punches,
low kicks, quickly counter-attacking, and trying to stay off
the ground.

4. It means "empty hand" in Japanese. It was developed in Okinawa.
American soldiers stationed there brought it to the States and
popularized it. It stresses strikes with the elbows, knees,
and open hands, as well as kicking.

5. This fighting sport involves a standing wrestler trying to
force another standing wrestler to step out of a circular ring,
or to touch the floor with anything other than the soles of
his feet. We say "his" because it is highly ritualistic and
only men """are""" allowed to participate.

6. This graceful and almost dance-like Japanese martial art means
"the way of harmonious spirit". Like judo, it involves matching
the attacker's motion and redirecting the force of the attack,
using turning movements and finishing with throws or joint locks.
It stresses not injuring the attacker.

7. It means "the way of foot and fist" and stresses kicks, employing
the leg's greater reach and power compared to the arm. It also
includes a system of blocks, punches, and open-handed strikes.
It is the national sport of South Korea.

8. This martial art from Thailand is known as the "art of eight
limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows, and knee
strikes, thus using eight "points of contact". It is sometimes
called Thai Boxing or Thai Kickboxing. Opponents stand up in
a boxing-style ring and exchange blows in a form similar to
boxing, but using the whole body.

9. Bruce Lee threw out the rule book and developed this new mixed
style of martial arts called "the way of the intercepting fist".
It focuses on kicking, punching, trapping, and grappling, and
reading non-verbal cues in order to attack while the opponent
is preparing to attack.

10. This Chinese martial art has an internal focus designed to bring
about mental clarity and maintain health. Although some styles
can be fast and effective in a fight, the most popular styles
involve practising the forms in very slow movements with a
focus on breath and posture. The name translates to "supreme
ultimate fist".

* Game 9, Round 6 - Canadiana - Law and Order: How We Do It Here

All answers must use proper Canadian terminology.

1. In Canada, a conviction for first-degree murder carries a
mandatory life sentence. How many years """must""" be served
before a person convicted of first-degree murder may apply
for parole?

2. In Ontario, which county official """is""" responsible for
drafting citizens to serve on juries?

3. If you are arrested, section 10 of the Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms explicitly """promises""" you that you must
be informed of two things. The first is the reason for your
arrest; the second is your right to what?

4. How many degrees of murder """are""" there in Canadian law?

5. A detention facility in which people accused of a crime are
held in custody while awaiting trial """is""" called a what
center?

6. "Statutory release" means that a person sentenced to 6 years
in prison """can usually expect""" to be released after serving
how many years?

7. FIS """is""" the Canadian "CSI". The IS stands for
Identification Services; what word does the F represent?

8. In Ontario, they """preside""" over bail hearings, """are"""
addressed as "Your Worship" (not "Your Honor"), and wear a
green sash over their robes (not the red sash worn by judges).
What """are""" these magistrates called?

9. Provided that he/she follows certain rules determined by the
sentencing judge (for example, lives with parents, enters rehab),
a convict """may be allowed""" to serve his/her sentence in the
community rather than in a prison. What """is""" this kind of
sentence called?

10. Regulation pistols carried by the Toronto police """are"""
made by a company of what nationality?
