VETO 2006: Ottawa Questions by: Ben Smith, Shauna McNally, Philippe Marchand, Tamara Vardomskaya
Tossups 1. He often appears as himself in film and on TV, but did receive a high billing for the small role of Samson in D.C. Cab. Despite his 5-foot-10 stature, he has served as a bodyguard for the likes of Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. His reputation as a bouncer helped land him his first major film role in 1982, and a popular TV series followed. Born as Lawrence Tureaud, he currently insists that his middle name is “period”. For ten points, name this person who played B.A. Baracus on The A-Team and, in Rocky III, gave us the phrase “I pity the fool”. Answer: Mr. T (prompt on “Lawrence Tureaud”) 2. This landmark's name, derived from its rostrum, means "gate of heavenly peace", irony that is probably unappreciated by the victims of its namesake event. The death toll varies from source to source: 2600 from a Red Cross agency, 400-800 from the CIA, and a mere 23 from the government. Symbolised by a stillunidentified man in a white shirt standing in front of a tank, for ten points, name the location of the 1989 protests in China. Answer: Tiananmen Square 3. This model was published by William Sealy Gosset, but under a pseudonym to avoid detection by his employer. Using 0.025 – which is half of 5% - as the value of alpha, the value of the namesake statistic is roughly 2 for most sample sizes. This test is often used for constructing confidence intervals for a small population in which the variance is unknown. Developed at Guinness breweries, for ten points, what probability distribution was published under the name “Student”? Answer: t distribution or t test (accept “Student distribution” early, but mention t test) 4. This Canadian artist’s “violin d’Ingres” was not a violin but a mandolin. Born in 1877 to Scottish parents, he first earned a living working for photoengraving companies in Seattle and Toronto. For ten points, name this painter whose works include Canoe Lake and Algonquin Park, the former of which is the site of his unsolved drowning. Answer: Tom Thomson 5. Former Czech president Václav Havel has written several plays in this genre, including Largo Desalato. The genre came into being after the Second World War and is characterised by non sequitur-filled dialogue, undefined time and place, and conflicts of personality rather than plot. Notable playwrights include Harold Pinter, skilled in the art of the pause, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, and Eugène Ionesco. For ten points, name this genre of theatre that many consider ridiculous. Answer: Theatre of the Absurd (or “absurdist theatre”; also accept “Le théâtre de l’absurde”) 6. Its name suggests a differential service as a function of the client’s income, and thus would not apply to Japan where user fees exist, but are set by government.

Seen by some as a possible consequence of the Chaoulli v. Quebec Supreme Court decision, name, for ten points, this system under which private healthcare providers can compete with publicly funded hospitals. Answer: Two-tier healthcare
VETO 2006: Ottawa Questions by: Ben Smith, Shauna McNally, Philippe Marchand, Tamara Vardomskaya 7. This hazardous compound is toxic in a colourful way: upon consumption, it can turn hair green, skin yellow, and urine black. Water contaminated with this is slightly pink. To prepare these crystals, add methylbenzene to a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acid. It is insensitive to movement or friction, so it must be detonated, which is much safer than previously-available compounds. For ten points, identify this explosive with one methyl and three nitrous groups around a benzene ring. Answer: trinitrotoluene or TNT 8. The merchant that lost the namesake property of this event – Davison, Newman & Company – still exists today in London. Sitting more than one million pounds in debt, the British East India Company appealed to the government to allow the distribution of its products without taxes. A shipment arrived in Charleston, but it was left to rot in a warehouse. A delivery in December, 1773, had longer-lasting results.

Answer: Boston Tea Party 9. “The drawing of Michelangelo and the colouring of” this artist was the formula Tintoretto wrote on his wall.

His early works include The Assumption of the Virgin and Ariosto. For ten points, name the painter of Danae and The Rape of Europa. Answer: Tiziano Vecelli, or Titian 10. With over 64 million people passing through here each year, it is touted as “the most visited city in the world”.

The city has always thrived on tourism, and it boasts the “most-shopped street” in North America: Avenida Revolucion. The largest city of Baja California, for ten points, name this border city in Mexico just south of San Diego. Answer: Tijuana Half-time 11. While it is suggested that his name means “You! Do that!”, he probably just picked up the name from an 18th century writer. He spearheaded the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961, along with India, Egypt, and Indonesia.

For ten points, name this WWII resistance leader who later became Prime Minister of Yugoslavia for most of the Cold War. Answer: Josip Broz “Tito” 12. His play about a farm boy who becomes a drag queen in Montréal was selected as one of the Toronto Star’s ten “Essentially Canadian” theatrical pieces for 2006. The second of his Plateau Mont-Royal Chronicles, Thérèse et Pierrette à l’école des Saints-Anges, was championed by Monique Simard on the 2005 Combat des livres, the French equivalent of Canada Reads. His work has been translated into many languages, including a Scots production of one of his best-known plays, known as The Guid-Sisters. For ten points, name this Québec playwright and translator who has been called the enfant terrible of Canadian theatre. Answer: Michel Tremblay
VETO 2006: Ottawa Questions by: Ben Smith, Shauna McNally, Philippe Marchand, Tamara Vardomskaya 13. Its Algonquin name is Askunessippi, which means “antlered river”, and it has a north and south branch which converge in the fifth-largest city in Ontario.

Similar in name to one in England, for ten points, identify this river the flows through Chatham and London, Ontario. Answer: Thames River [“tems”] (prompt on “River Thames”, as that specifies the one in England) 14. Scholars suspect that the play about the life of this man was abandoned rather than finished, noting its lack of polish and the two distinct epitaphs for the eponymous character, “who, alive, all living men did hate.” Characters include Alcibiades and Apemanthus. For ten points, name this play that is not about The Lion King’s meerkat living in the capital of Greece. Answer: (The Life of) Timon of Athens (prompt on "Timon") 15.

The Nordiques’ first-round choice in 1993, he had a starting role for Montréal from 1995 to 1998. He was the other goalie in the famous Patrick Roy trade in 1995; in his trade to get to Pittsburgh, only a fourth round pick was given in exchange. Currently in a backup role for the Penguins, for ten points, name this Canadian goaltender who had his longest tenure with the Chicago Blackhawks. Answer: Jocelyn Thibault [“tee-boh”] 19.

VETO 2006: Ottawa Questions by: Ben Smith, Shauna McNally, Philippe Marchand, Tamara Vardomskaya NOTE: The following should be the 20th and last tossup. If tossups had to be thrown out, use tossups #21, #22, etc. as replacements before reading this one. The bonus printed immediately below this tossup should accompany it (assuming the tossup was answered correctly). 20. Perhaps you consider this the middle initial of actor Craig Nelson. It’s a minor programming language, but it is not a symbol for an element. Maybe you think of a thin piece of plastic that supports a ball. It could be a Doctor associated with “the Women”. It represents a quantity measured in Rankines, and it sounds like the seventh tone. It begins postal codes in Alberta, and it is a video game rating. For ten points, all of the tossups in this pack have been connected to what letter of the alphabet, the 20th? Answer: the letter T NOTE: Use the following bonus in response to the correct answer for tossup #20. 20. Now that you’ve identified the T connection, perhaps you’ve noticed the Bs in the bonuses.

Vietnam and the Ivory Coast have small populations of these people, but their French name is most commonly associated with another country. They are believed to come about indirectly from missionaries rather than simply colonial power, which explains why these groups are descended from Catholic Spain, Portugal, and France, but not England. Rarely are they given the same rights as aboriginals of their country. For ten points, identify these people of mixed European and non-European descent, prominent in Manitoba with figures such as Louis Riel. Answer: metis (prompt on “mestizo”) 22. Its instigator was, for a day, the most hated man in the city. The mayor called this action “illegal from the start” and “never acceptable”, especially on the city’s first smog day and humidex advisory of the year.

At its peak in the 16th century, this city was home to 400,000 people, making it the largest city outside of Europe. Canals crossed the city, separating it into about 60 wards called calpullis [“cal-PUL-lees”]. Three causeways crossed the lake surrounding this city, which had a 100-foot tall temple in its centre, dedicated to the bloodthirsty sun god. However, it was quickly destroyed by a small army in 1521. For ten points, name this city once ruled by Montezuma that currently has Mexico City resting atop its ruins. Answer: Tenochtitlan [“teh-nok-tit-lan”, be lenient on pronounciation] 25. An equilibrium of this type of moment explains the mechanical advantage of the wheel, pulley, and lever, which are rotational simple machines. Another simple machine, the screw, applies a linear force with the magnitude of this scalar. If energy is considered a dot product, then this is the analogous cross product, which explains why the units of newton-metres represents two different things. For ten points, identify this product of radius and applied force that is often used to quantify the pulling power of a pickup truck. Answer: torque (prompt on “angular momentum” or “moment of force”)
