These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-03-26,
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 9, Round 7 - Miscellaneous - Drummers

Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/09-07/drummer.pdf
(There are 3 pages.)

Drummers usually aren't the most recognizable musicians, because
they spend the whole concert behind their drum kit. However,
these guys are pretty recognizable. For questions #1-6, we give
you the drummer's name, you give us the picture number.

1. Neil Peart.
2. Nick Mason.
3. Keith Moon.
4. Dave Grohl.
5. Lars Ulrich.
6. Larry Mullen Jr.

After completing the above, please decode the rot13 to see the
picture numbers for questions #7-10, in which you must name the
drummer.

7. Cubgb ahzore frira.
8. Gur avagu cvpgher.
9. Guvf bar vf gur frpbaq cubgb.
10. Cvpgher ahzore ryrira.

And there were 8 decoys. Decode the rot13 to see the names and
give the picture numbers if you want for fun, but for no points.

11. Trar Xehcn.
12. Ohqql Zvyrf.
13. Tvatre Onxre.
14. Znk Jvaroret.
15. Avxxb ZpOenva.
16. Zvpx Syrrgjbbq.
17. Nyrk Ina Unyra.
18. Fgrjneg Pbcrynaq.

* Game 9, Round 8 - Science - Scientific Acronyms

We give you the acronym and a description, and you give us the
long name of the thing. Exact answers required.

1. PVC: A type of plastic.
2. NSAID: A class of drugs.
3. ACL: A body part commonly injured by athletes.
4. PDF: A file type associated with Adobe Acrobat software.
5. BMI: A numerical computation regarding height and weight.
6. ADHD: A developmental condition affecting children and adults.

7. PDA: A device such as a Palm Pilot, or now typically a
smartphone.

8. PSA: A protein that helps to identify a certain type of cancer
in a widely used test.

9. HPV: in a minority of cases it can lead to cancers of the cervix,
vulva, vagina, and anus.

10. BBS: A sort of phobia in which the sufferer is unable to urinate
in the (real or imaginary) presence of others.

Spiro Agnew.

> $800. Milton Obote, as President of Uganda (in 1971).

This was the second-easiest round in the original game, after

I allowed "almost correct" only if a word was present but badly
misspelled.
