** Game 6, Round 9 - Science - Name That Nebula

NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope have given us many spectacular
images of nebulas. These interstellar clouds of dust and gas
(remember Game 1, Round 9?) often have descriptive names like the
Barbell Nebula and the Boomerang Nebula. In this round, we'll
give you the name of a nebula and you'll tell us the number of
the corresponding image on the handout:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/nebula.jpg

1. Spirograph.
2. Cone.
3. Rosette.
4. Witchhead.
5. Eskimo.
6. Butterfly.
7. Bubble.
8. Horsehead.
9. Jellyfish.
10. Cat's Eye.

Now decode the rot13 if you would like to try the decoys for fun,
but for no points.

11. Peno.
12. Rntyr (Cvyynef bs Perngvba).
13. CnpZna.
14. Gevsvq.
15. Irvy.

** Game 6, Round 10 - Challenge - MORE "What is Missing?"

As in Round 4, we give you a list and you tell which element
is missing. Only this time most of them aren't geography.

* A. Arts & Literature

A1. The Group of Seven artists: Franklin Carmichael,
Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer,
J.E.H. MacDonald. (Hint: "Vera".)

A2. The 3 main lake poets: Robert Southey, William Wordsworth.

* B. Science

B1. The 6 types of quarks: up, down, strange, bottom, top.

B2. The 3 types of walking methods, or feet styles, of mammals:
digitigrade (walks on pads and toes), unguligrade (walks
on tips of toes). (Give the name or description of the
other one.)

* C. Geography

C1. The 8 Ivy League colleges: Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth,
Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale. (Hint: Andy Bernard could
tell you it's the newest one established.)

C2. The 5 nations with territory bordering the Arctic Ocean,
excluding seas such as the Beaufort Sea: Russia, Denmark,
Canada, United States.

* D. History

D1. The 5 "D-Day" invasion beaches: Omaha, Utah, Gold, Sword.

D2. The 5 operational (space-capable) space shuttles: Columbia,
Discovery, Challenger, Endeavour.

* E. Entertainment

E1. The 4 families of brothers with star billing in the movie
"The Long Riders": Carradine, Quaid, Guest.

E2. The 6 actors who played James Bond in movies, *not* counting
anyone in "Casino Royale" (1967): Sean Connery, George
Lazenby, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig.

* F. Sports

F1. The """5""" North American summer Olympics host cities:
Los Angeles, Mexico City, Montreal, Atlanta.

F2. The 4 WHA teams that joined the NHL in the 1979 merger:
Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Hartford Whalers. (Give the

points.)

Game 6 is over and JOSHUA KREITZER has won by a considerable margin.

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

Plantigrade (walks on entire foot, so even the heels touch the
ground). 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

Among larger animals there is a strong correlation between walking
style and eating style:

digitigrade - carnivorous (e.g. cats)
unguligrade - herbivorous (e.g. cattle)
plantigrade - omnivorous (e.g. cattlemen)

Some plantigrade species can switch to digitigrade on occasion:
human sprinters do this at the start of a race.

Norway. 4 for everyone.

Finland once qualified as well, but they lost that bit of
coast to the USSR in the 1940s.

Juno. (The one where the landing force was Canadian.) 4 for

Atlantis. 4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque. 3 for Joshua.

The first shuttle to fly in the atmosphere was Enterprise; the
original plan to make this one space-capable after some test flights
was canceled due to cost. There was also a full-size mock-up shuttle,
named Pathfinder.

St. Louis (1904). (Still true.) 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque,

Calgary had the Winter Olympics (in 1988).

They defected to Denver in 1995 and became the Colorado Avalanche.
