A. 15 yards for Roughing, or was that 15 years?

      A1. Within 1, what year did the Saskatchewan Roughriders last
          win the Grey Cup?  The game was played in Toronto.

            1989 (accept 1988-90)

      A2. Within 1, what was the last year that the Ottawa Rough
          Riders played?

            1996 (accept 1995-97)

B. Not so far from the Nile

      B1. Niamey is the capital of what country?

            Niger

      B2. What city officially became the capital of Nigeria in 1991?

            Abuja
            (it replaced Lagos)

C. Science, not exactly to scale

      C1. What is a scalene triangle?

            None of its sides are equal.
            Also, none of its angles are equal; accept either answer.

        C2. What type of quantity or measurement is a scalar?
          (QM: spell it!)

            One that can be given as a single number (perhaps
            with a unit of measure and a plus or minus sign, but
            without an associated direction)

            (Accept anything close.  A scalar is contrasted with
            a "vector", which has magnitude and direction and
            requires two or more numbers to express.)



D. The leader who would be King

      D1. Which US president was formerly named King?

            Gerald Ford (he was adopted)

      D2. William Lyon Mackenzie was once Mayor of Toronto.
          William Lyon Mackenzie King was once Prime Minister
          of Canada.  How were they related?

            Grandfather (WLM) and grandson (WLMK)

            (Player need not say which was which, but if they do,
            they must get it right!)

E. When you hear this

      For each question in this pair, complete the quote.

      E1. This aphorism is a guideline in medical diagnosis:
          "When you hear hoofbeats..."

            Think horses, not zebras.

            (must name both animals correctly)

      E2. Hermann Goering ("Gurring") liked to quote this line from
          the Nazi playwright Hanns Johst ("Yost").  "When I hear the
          word culture..."

            I reach for my revolver.  (most common rendering)
          (or)
            I release the safety on my Browning.  (actual
            translation)

          (or accept any reference to preparing to shoot a gun.
           The original German wording is "Wenn ich Kultur höre...
           entsichere ich meinen Browning.")

F. While I was a director

      F1. This man directed "One, Two, Three", "Five Graves to Cairo",

            Billy Wilder

      F2. This man directed "These Three" and "How to Steal a Million",
          but enough with the numbers.  He also directed "Ben-Hur",
          "Jezebel", "Mrs. Miniver", and "Roman Holiday".  Name him.

            William Wyler
