These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-03-05,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
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.

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*)".

Answer these 2012 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.

1. Which Colombian group is abandoning the practice of kidnapping
people for ransom?

2. One of the world's leading scientific journals is accusing the
Harper government of limiting its scientists from speaking
publicly about their research. Name it.

* Game 6, Round 2 - Sports History - History of Sports

10 questions about the history of various sports.

1. Who was the baseball executive who signed Jackie Robinson to

league?

3. Who is widely, but incorrectly, reputed to have invented baseball
in 1839?

the inaugural competition was Horton Smith.

6. Which Scottish golf course is known as the birthplace of golf?

8. Another question on the NHL's inaugural season. As well as
several teams based in Toronto and Montreal, the league admitted
two teams from other cities. Name *either* team (city or team
name acceptable).

9. Who developed, in 1867, the modern rules of boxing?

10. Who produced a 10-part documentary TV series on the history

FARC ("Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia"). Joshua, Erland,
Dan Blum, and Stephen got this.

"Nature". Stephen got this.

Branch Rickey. 4 for Joshua and Stephen.

Abner Doubleday. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Dan Tilque.

The game has a complicated history that does not feature a single
inventor.

James Naismith. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Dan Tilque.

St. Andrews. 4 for everyone -- Joshua, Erland, Dan Blum, Stephen,

1917 (accepting 1916-18). 4 for Stephen.

Quebec Bulldogs (who did not actually play in the NHL until 1919,
then moved to become the Hamilton Tigers in 1920 and folded in 1925);
Ottawa Senators (who moved to become the St. Louis Eagles in 1934
and folded in 1935; the present team of the same name is unrelated).
4 for Erland and Stephen (the hard way).

Two entrants guessed US cities, apparently forgetting the name of
the league.

John Douglas, Marquess of Queensberry. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum,
Stephen, and Dan Tilque.
