These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-05-28,
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 4, Round 4 - Geography - Landmarks in Cities

Please examine all 3 pages of the handout:

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

in which all pictures have north at the top.

Three cities are represented on the handout twice each. For
questions #1-3, we give a picture number and you must give the
number of the *other picture* showing a landmark in the *same city*.

1. #17.
2. #18.
3. #11.

For the remaining questions, just name the city. If it's part of
a metropolitan area, we need the specific city, not the metropolis.

4. #8.
5. #13.
6. #3.
7. #12.
8. #15.
9. #9. Hint: it's a hotel.
10. #14.

And there were 5 decoys. Continue with these if you like for fun,
but for no points.

11. Identify the other 5 landmarks by picture number, landmark,
and city. Put all 5 answers, three parts for each, here under
question #11 if you can do it without help. Otherwise, decode
the rot13 for questions #12-16 to see the city names, and answer
under each question with the picture number and landmark.

12. Orvwvat.
13. Syberapr.
14. Arj Lbex.
15. Iravpr.
16. Jnfuvatgba.

* Game 4, Round 6 - Sports - Betting on the Sport of Kings

Answer these questions about thoroughbred racing wagering.
*Note*: This round specifically uses Canadian and US terminology.

1. Racetracks in North America follow a model where all bets are
pooled, a track "take" or "rake" is removed, and the payoff odds
on the remainder are calculated based on the amount placed on
each possible outcome. What is this form of wagering called?

2. Give the term for the wager where you try to pick the winners
of the first two races in a program.

3. Give the term for the wager where you try to pick the horses
that finish first and second in a race, in the correct order.

4. Give the term for the type of bet where you select outcomes in
multiple races, and use the winnings from one race as the
wager for the next, continuing until you either lose, or win
all the wagers.

5. Give the slang term for betting on a horse only to win.

6. Give the term for betting simultaneously on a horse to win
and to place third, so that if it does not win you can get some,
if not all, of your money back.

7. Give the term for a horse whose odds at post time are much
higher than would be expected based on its current condition
and past history.

8. Give the term for a wager where you try to select the first
*three* finishers in a race, in the correct order.

9. What is the specific term for "boxing" your <answer 3>,
i.e. choosing two horses and betting on them to finish in
either order?

10. The Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing consists
of the Queen's Plate at Woodbine racetrack, and two other races.
Name either of the other two.

These two pictures actually overlap by about 1/10 of their area.

Of course the cathedral looks a bit different now than in the photo,

It's in the Los Angeles metro area, but you were asked for the
specific city.

The dome at lower right was built to house the "Spruce Goose" airplane
as a permanent display, but it's now used as a cruise terminal and
the airplane is elsewhere.

Honolulu (USS Arizona Memorial). 4 for Joshua. 2 for Stephen.

The white structure is a viewing gallery above the sunken ship.

Honolulu is a unified city-county including the whole island of
Oahu, so for consistency with the previous question, it should be
the only acceptable answer. The original game specified that Pearl
City or Waipahu were acceptable, so I would have accepted those,
but I'm cruelly not accepting Pearl Harbor.

#1 (San Marco, Venice); #2 (National Mall, Washington); #6 (Central
Park, New York); #10 (Forbidden City, Beijing); #16 (Cathedral of
Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence).

Stephen got or mostly got all of them in this mode.

> 12. Beijing.

#10, the Forbidden City. Joshua got this.

> 13. Florence.

#16, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

In the original game and when I posted it here in 2012, the cathedral
was identified as Montefiascone Cathedral. This turns out to have
been the result of an error then present in Google Maps -- see
http://www.visitflorence.com/blog/florence-duomo-montefiascone-cathedral-googlemaps/

Sorry, I haven't been there myself to have learned the correct name
of the thing.

#6, Central Park. (The sand-colored areas to left of center are
softball fields.) Joshua got this.

#1, San Marco.

#2, National Mall. (The Capitol building is to the right.)
Joshua got this.

I'm no expert in this area and it seems to me that there might
be variations. If you have evidence that an answer not accepted
is an alternative correct answer in the US or Canada, please tell me.
But no additional answers were accepted in 2012.
