These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-05-14,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of What She Said and/or of Smith & Guessin', 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 3, Round 4 - Canadiana Geography - Municipal Flags

The 2-page handout

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/3-4/flags.pdf

shows the flags of a number of Canadian municipalities or former
municipalities. For the first 6 questions, we will name the
municipality and you give the flag number.

1. St. Catharines, ON.
2. Ottawa, ON.
3. Victoria, BC.
4. Halifax, NS.
5. Thunder Bay, ON.
6. Lethbridge, AB.

After finishing questions #1-6, please decode the rot13 for the
remaining 4 questions, which go the other way.

7. Synt rvtugrra.
8. Gur rvtugu synt.
9. Gur KVVVgu synt.
10. Ahzore gjragl.

So there were 11 decoys. Decode the rot13 if you want to see the
list of municipalities and give the flag number for fun, but for
no points.

11. Noobgfsbeq, OP.
12. Oheyvatgba, BA.
13. Pnytnel, NO.
14. Rqzbagba, NO.
15. Unzvygba, BA.
16. Ynatyrl, OP.
17. Yyblqzvafgre, NO/FX.
18. Zbagerny, DP.
19. Dhrorp, DP.
20. Fhqohel, BA.
21. Jvaavcrt, ZO.

* Game 3, Round 6 - Sports - Multi-Consecutive MVPs

All questions relate to players in the major leagues -- NHL, MLB,
NBA, NFL, and CFL -- who not only won their league's MVP award,
they won it in successive years.

For the NHL, this means the Hart Trophy; MLB, either the NL or
AL Most Valuable Player award; NBA, the Maurice Podoloff Trophy;
NFL, the Most Valuable Player award; CFL, the Most Outstanding
Player award.

In all cases, name the player.

Questions #1-5 all ask for for players who were MVP for *3 or more
years consecutively*.

1. The longest of all consecutive MVP streaks """is""" 8 years.

After answering this question, please decode the rot13 for the
rest of the round.

Scarborough, ON. The shape is based on the Scarborough Bluffs.

> 8. The eighth flag.

Vancouver, BC. 4 for Dan Tilque.

> 9. The XIIIth flag.

Toronto, ON. The shape contains a letter T but is also based on
the City Hall's two curved towers.

Windsor, ON.

Most of the facts in this round are unchanged since 2012, so you
can assume "Still true" in each case -- except question #7.

Wayne Gretzky (NHL, Edmonton, 1980-87; and he won again in 1989
with Los Angeles). 4 for everyone -- Joshua, Pete, Dan Tilque,
and Dan Blum.

Barry Bonds (San Francisco). 4 for Joshua, Pete, and Dan Tilque.

> 3. The longest streak in the NFL history """is""" 3 years, 1995-97,

Brett Favre (Green Bay). 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Dan Blum.
3 for Pete.

Bobby Orr (Boston). 4 for Joshua.

Wilt Chamberlain. 4 for Joshua, Pete, and Dan Tilque.

He's tied with Bill Russell (1961-63 and single years 1958 and 1965) and Larry Bird (1984-86), both of Boston.

> 6. The most recent CFL consecutive winner """is""" this Alouette

Anthony Calvillo.

2012 answer: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, formerly Lew Alcindor (Milwaukee,
Los Angeles). 2022 answer: There's one more now: LeBron James
(2009-10 with Cleveland, 2012-13 with Miami). Accepting either.
4 for everyone.
