Game 4 is over and JOSHUA KREITZER has squeaked out a win.
Hearty congratulations, eh?

> I probably wrote 6 questions in one of these rounds.

Those were pairs A, B, and E in the challenge round.

> ** Game 4, Round 9 - Science - Systems Analysis

> Questions #1-4 pertain to the endocrine system, whose organs
> secrete hormones internally; these hormones affect other organs
> or body structures. Please see the diagram:

> http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/oo4/9/end.jpg

> 1. Name gland #1. Two of its hormones regulate the production
> of mature T-lymphocytes, which are essential to the body's
> immune system. One hormone it secretes is thymopoietin
> ["thy-mo-POY-et-in"].

Thymus. 4 for Dan Blum.

> 2. Name gland #2. It secretes the hormone melatonin, whose
> secretion increases in the absence of light and which has
> a role in the development of the gonads.

Pineal. 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

> 3. Name gland #7 (the bigger one with a group of smaller glands,
> #8, behind it). Two hormones it secretes help regulate the
> body's rate of metabolism.

Thyroid. 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua. 3 for Pete.

> 4. Name gland #11. The hormones it secretes play a major role in
> the body's storage and utilization of carbohydrates.

Pancreas. 4 for Dan Tilque, Dan Blum, and Joshua.

> Questions #5-10 pertain to the skeletal system. In each
> case name the bone indicated -- and we're looking for the formal
> medical *Latin* word, e.g. "femur" rather than "thighbone".

> http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/oo4/9/ske.jpg

> 5. Bone A.

Humerus. 2 for Dan Blum.

> 6. Bone B.

Radius. 4 for Joshua. 3 for Pete.

> 7. Bone C. (This is roughly triangular and is separate from D.)

Sacrum. (Not pelvis, a group of bones that it's part of.)

> 8. Bone H.

Fibula. 4 for Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Pete.

> 9. Bone J. (The irregularly shaped bone with teeth attached to it.)

Maxilla.

> 10. Bone L.

Scapula. 4 for Dan Tilque, Dan Blum, and Joshua.

Sadly, nobody tried these. Do you all not like fun?

> On the first handout not all of the decoys were endocrine glands
> at all, and most people don't have all of the ones that are shown.
> Name these:

> 11. Adrenal.

Glands #10.

> 12. Parathyroid.

Glands #8.

> 13. Hypothalamus.

Gland #3.

> 14. Pituitary.

Gland #5.

> 15. Ovary.

Glands #13 in females.

> 16. Testis.

Glands #14 in males.

> On the second handout, some bones are completely unlabeled
> and some bones are labeled on only one of the two diagrams.
> Give the letters for these, though:

> 17. Patella.

Bone M.

> 18. Femur.

Bone F.

> 19. Pubis.

Bone E.

> 20. Tibia.

Bone G.

> 21. Ilium.

Bone D.

> 22. Mandible.

Bone K.

> 23. Talus.

Bone I.

Community centers ("recreation centers" or "swimming pools" was
acceptable).

It's actually Allan Lamport Stadium, because that's how the man's
name was spelled.

"Old city", of course, refers to the city limits before the
"Megacity" amalgamation of 1998.

(Public) libraries.

John Quincy Adams. (Not John Adams, his father, so the middle name
