These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-03-12,
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*)".

* Game 7, Round 4 - Sports

Rather than pick a particular incident, sport, or occasion, we
present general questions on sports worldwide.

1. In what sport """is""" the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)
a governing body? Be fully specific.

2. In which sport would you go to see a professional tournament
known as a honbasho? Again, be specific.

3. What country """has won""" the most soccer World Cups?

4. What """is""" the name of the South American equivalent to the
UEFA Champions' League? That is, the continent-wide soccer
competition to determine the top club team. The short form of
the name will do.

5. In which Olympic sport would you find a tsukahara?

6. In golf one under par on a hole is called a birdie, and two
under par is called an eagle. What is the rare feat of three
under par called?

7. In what sport does a match consist of 8 periods of play called
chukkas or chukkers?

8. The Euro 2012 Football (i.e. soccer) Championship takes place
"""this summer""" and """is""" being co-hosted by two
countries. Name either. *Note* You may also answer for the
next championship, in 2024.

9. Only one Soviet-bloc country competed in the 1984 Olympics in
Los Angeles. Which country was it?

10. The decathlon is a combined track-and-field event whose
contestants are men. What is the name of the similar event
contested by women?

* Game 7, Round 6 - Science - Nuclear Power

1. Name the scientist who created the first artificial self-
sustaining nuclear chain reaction, at what was called Chicago
Pile 1, in a rackets court below the bleachers of Stagg Field
at the University of Chicago on 1942-12-02.

2. What is the popular term used to refer to what would properly be
called "low-energy nuclear reactions": nuclear reactions
supposedly occurring near room temperature and pressure using
relatively simple and low-energy-input devices?

3. What term is defined as smallest amount of fissile material
needed for a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction?

4. What is the common name of the compound, used in certain types
of nuclear reactors, that contains the hydrogen isotope deuterium
in place of regular hydrogen?

5. Name the """largest""" nuclear facility in North America, and
"""second largest""" in the world. It """comprises""" 8 nuclear
reactors, having a total output of 6,232 MW when all units
are online.

6. Atomic Energy Canada developed this type of nuclear reactor
that utilizes pressurized <answer 4> along with natural uranium.
"""Currently""" there are 29 reactors of this type in use around
the world. What name is given to this series of reactors?

7. What country, """second""" in the world in nuclear generating
capacity, produces about 75% of its electricity via nuclear
power? It """is""" the only country where that number is
over 50%.

8. This country """operates""" 13 reactors of a type developed from
the <answer 6> design, but Canada stopped nuclear dealings with
the country after they exploded an atomic weapon. Name the
country.

9. Calder Hall was the world's first nuclear power station to
deliver electricity in commercial quantities. It was connected
to the grid in 1956 and shut down in 2003. In which country
was it located?

10. This is the term given to the dismantling of a nuclear
power plant, involving decontamination of the site to a state
no longer requiring radiation protection for the general public.
(It is also used in other fields.) Name it.
