These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-02-06,

by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.

** Game 3, Round 9 - History - They Were Contemporaries

The following pairs of people were alive at the same time, at
some point in each of their lives. In some cases, they were
rivals or colleagues. In others, they may not even have been
aware of each other. Name any year *both* were alive,

1. Samuel de Champlain and Martin Frobisher.
2. Franz Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven.
3. Louis Hippolyte Lafontaine and Lord Durham (John Lambton).
4. Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
5. James Madison and Abraham Lincoln.
6. Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle.
7. Queen Elizabeth I and King James I of England.
8. King Louis XVI and Napoleon Bonaparte.
9. Bob Marley and Buddy Holly.
10. Steve McQueen (the actor, not the director) and River Phoenix.

** Game 3, Round 10 - The Challenge Round of Death

* A. Dead Movies

Name them.

A1. This 2004 British zombie comedy is about a man attempting
to get some kind of focus in his life as he deals with his
girlfriend, his mother, and stepfather. Oh, and at the same
time he has to cope with an apocalyptic uprising of zombies.

A2. This 2004 horror-movie remake depicts a handful of human
survivors taking refuge in a shopping mall surrounded
by swarms of zombies. Filmed in Thornhill, it starred
Sarah Polley.

* B. Dead Sea

B1. Name the river that is the only major water source flowing
into the Dead Sea.

B2. Anyone can easily float in the Dead Sea because of natural
buoyancy. What about the water causes this?

* C. Dead Car Companies

C1. In 1988 this car company, then the maker of the Jeep brand,
was bought out by Chrysler and ceased to exist. Name it.

C2. This automobile manufacturer and brand was established in
1985 as a subsidiary of General Motors, in response to the
success of Japanese automobile imports. Quality was never
very good, and GM discontinued the company and brand in 2009.
Name the brand.

* D. 2011 Sports Deaths

D1. Name the Canadian coach of the KHL's Lokomotiv Yaroslavl,
who died along with the entire team in the crash of their
plane on 2011-09-07.

D2. Name the driver who died in a fiery collision at the 2011
IZOD IndyCar World Championship at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
He was a two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 race.

* E. Science of Death

E1. This post-mortem phenomenon is just a myth. What really
happens is that after death the body dehydrates, causing
the skin to shrink back. But what is the myth?

E2. The formula (98.4 - R) / 1.5, where R is the rectal
temperature of the corpse in Fahrenheit, is used to
estimate what?

* F. Historical Assassinations

F1. What historical figure did Gavrilo Princip of Bosnia
assassinate?

F2. What historical figure did anarchist Leon Frank Czolgosz
assassinate?
