These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-01-27,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Cellar Rats, 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 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

* Game 3, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)

Answer these 2014 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.

1. Just in case you thought a week might pass without Rob Ford
qualifying to be in the current events round, you'd be wrong.
Ford created controversy yet again when he was recorded in a
restaurant earlier this week drunkenly doing a bad imitation
of what dialect/language?

2. Canada's other great gift to late-night comedic talk shows,
Justin Bieber, landed in a Miami jail after being arrested for
impaired driving and resisting arrest. Give the *color and make*
of the rented car he was allegedly caught drag-racing in.

* Game 3, Round 2 - Canadiana Geography - Montreal

1. The 103-foot-high (31 m) illuminated cross """now""" atop
Mt. Royal was installed in 1924, but the first cross was placed
there in 1643. The man who placed that first cross is considered
to be the city's founder. Who was he?

2. In the """2011""" census, within 5 percentage points, what
percentage of the population of the Montreal census metropolitan
area reported speaking *only French* at home? *Note*: You may
instead answer for the 2021 census and need not say which one
you are answering for.

3. The largest church in Canada """is""" located in Montreal.
What is it?

4. Canada's most heavily traveled bridge """is""" located in
Montreal. It has outlived its usefulness and is """currently"""
being replaced with a new bridge """to open in 2018""".
Meanwhile, mammoth traffic jams have been reported in the
news media. What is the name of this bridge?

5. On 2013-11-14, the 44th mayor of Montreal was sworn in.
What is the """new""" mayor's name? *Note*: You may name the
current mayor instead.

6. Who was Montreal's mayor from 2002 until his resignation under
allegations of accepting kickbacks and bribes in 2011?

7. Addresses on many Toronto streets are identified as "east" or
"west" of Yonge St. Give the name or nickname of the street
with the corresponding role of separating "east" and "west"
addresses in Montreal.

8. Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color barrier when he played
with a Montreal team in the 1940s. What team?

9. Please decode the rot13 for the last two questions only after
you have finished with the rest of the round. Fg. Ynjerapr Oyiq.

* Game 3, Round 3 - Arts - Ballet Steps

Ballet became formalized in France in the 18th century, and most
internationally used ballet terminology is in French. For each
description of of a ballet step, please give the proper term from
the following list:

| Arabesque | Entrechat | Pas de bourrée
| Attitude | Épaulement | Pas de chat
| Battement | Glissade | Pas de cheval
| Bourrée | Grand jeté | Piqué
| Chainés | Pas assemblé | Pirouette
| Chassé | Pas de Basque | Rond de jambe

1. The body is supported on one leg, with the other leg extended
behind the body with the knee straight. The standing leg may
be either bent or straight.

2. A controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs
bent in plié and rising onto the toes to finish.

3. The dancer slides forwards, backwards, or sideways with both
legs bent, then springs into the air with legs meeting and
straightened.

4. A series of quick turns in first position, on alternating feet,
progressing along a straight line or in a circle.

5. The dancer's shoulders and head are rotated in relation to the
hips and legs. The head looks over the front-facing shoulder.

6. A long horizontal jump, starting from one leg and landing on
the other. Looks like splits in the air.

7. A rapid beating movement of the active leg while standing on
the supporting leg.

8. Standing on one foot, the dancer makes half-circles with the
other foot, pointed, creating the letter D on the floor.

9. A movement in which the strongly pointed toe of the lifted
and extended leg sharply lowers to hit the floor then immediately
rebounds upward.

10. The dancer jumps sideways, and while in mid-air, bends both
legs, bringing the feet up as high as possible, with knees apart.

Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve. (Still true.)

2011 census answer: 56.5%. 2021 census answer: 56.0%-. (Accepting
50.9-61.5%.) 4 for Dan Blum. 3 for Joshua. 2 for Pete.

Champlain Bridge. (The new bridge, with the same name, actually
opened in 2019.)

2014 answer: Denis Coderre. 2023 answer: Valérie Plante (the 45th,
in office since 2017-11-16).

Gérald Tremblay.

St. Lawrence Blvd., Boul. St-Laurent, or "the Main".

The "east" direction in the Montreal street grid is actually closer
to north. Apparently it follows the St. Lawrence River, which
flows generally eastward, but the part nearest downtown Montreal
angles more northward. St. Lawrence Blvd. is actually about 60°
anticlockwise of north-south.

For comparison, the Toronto street grid's "east" direction generally
follows the main direction of the Lake Ontario shoreline from Toronto
to Kingston, which actually is close to east; Yonge St. in downtown
Toronto is about 15° anticlockwise of north-south.

> 8. Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color barrier when he played

Montreal Royals. (Farm team for the Brooklyn Dodgers, of course.)
4 for Pete and Joshua.

4 for Dan Blum. 3 for Joshua.

Pas de chat. ("Step of cat".)

No, I have no idea of what the other terms mean, other than their
literal translations.
