These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-06-18,

been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me.
I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days.

companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

* Game 7, Round 4 - Canadiana Geography - The Arctic

1. According to what principle """does""" Canada claim sovereignty
over the area between 60�W and 141�W longitude all the way to
the North Pole?

2. Canada """disputes""" sovereignty over Hans I., in the Nares
Strait, with what country?

3. The Canadian Arctic is primarily made up of Yukon, the Northwest
Territories, and Nunavut. What is the capital of Nunavut?

4. The Northwest Territories """have become""" the third-largest
world producer of what mining product?

5. In the 2006 census, the combined population of the three
territories exceeded what lofty round-number milestone for the
first time?

6. According to Inuit legend, how did caribou arrive on the earth?
Give some detail for full points.

7. Although not strictly in the Arctic, what city is the polar
bear capital of the world?

8. <Answer 7> is located where a river flows into Hudson Bay, and
the bears gather there, waiting for the ice to freeze so they
can start hunting for seals -- and get their first good meal
in months! Hungry bears are dangerous, and that can create some
problems for the people who live there. They used to shoot the
troublesome bears, but now there is a 24-hour "polar bear alert"
program to keep track of intruders. What is done with the bears
"""now"""?

9. If you owned an umiak, what would you do with it? (No, I won't
accept "sell it" or similar!)

10. What was the name of the 1,000-foot supertanker that sailed
the Northwest Passage in 1969 to test the viability of moving
Alaska oil to eastern refineries?

(I recently visited the Wikipage for Hans Island and was struck by its
length. For an uninhabited, frost-bitten chuck of rock in the middle of
nowhere, it has an impressively long page. There are good-sized cities
with shorter pages.)

Sector principle. (Yeah, right. Still true, though.)

Denmark. (The two countries agreed in 2022 on a boundary to divide
the island.) 4 for Dan Blum, Erland, and Dan Tilque.

It's about halfway between Greenland and Canada's Ellesmere I. See:

Iqaluit, as mentioned in Game 5, Round 10. 4 for Dan Blum, Erland,
Dan Tilque, and Pete.

Only Dan Tilque spelled it exactly right.

> 4. The Northwest Territories """have become""" the third-largest

Diamonds. (I don't know the current ranking.) 4 for Dan Tilque.

100,000. 4 for Joshua. 3 for Pete.

> Give some detail for full points.

Once upon a time there were no caribou on the earth. But there
was a man who wished for caribou, and he cut a hole deep in the
ground, and up this hole came caribou, many caribou. The caribou
came pouring out, until the earth was almost covered with them.
And when the man thought there were caribou enough for mankind, he
closed up the hole again. Thus the caribou came onto the earth.
("They came out of a hole that a man dug", or something similar,
was sufficient.)

Churchill (Manitoba). 4 for Erland, Dan Tilque, and Pete.

They are caught and locked up until the bay freezes over.
(Still true.) I required a mention of captivity.

Travel on water. An umiak is a large open animal-skin boat used for
whale hunting, moving material, or transporting a group of people.
It was sometime referred to as a "women's boat", since the women
paddled and the men sat at the back and steered. I probably
should have required something more specific for full points, but
I accepted any indication of it being a vehicle. 4 for Dan Blum,
Joshua, and Dan Tilque. 3 for Pete.

Corey Perry achieved a similar set of championships in 2016, but
as a forward, is not eligible for the Norris trophy.
