person, and you tell us who that was.

2. "Independence Day", "2012", "The Day After Tomorrow".
3. "Videodrome", "A History of Violence", "Eastern Promises".
4. "MASH", "Nashville", "The Player".
5. "Wild at Heart", "The Straight Story", "Mulholland Drive".

* Game 8, Round 3 - Science - Birds of North America
Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/08-03/bird.pdf
For questions #1-6, we will provide you with the name of
a North American bird, and you give us the picture number.
1. Eastern meadowlark.
2. Chickadee.
3. Cinnamon teal.
4. Magpie.
5. Bohemian waxwing.
6. Yellow-bellied sapsucker.
For questions #7-10, decode the rot13 to see the picture number,
and then you name the bird.
In some cases the answer is multiple words; in that case the full
answer is required for full points. If you give additional words
that aren't needed, you won't be penalized. (For example, if the
first 6 questions had asked for the name, on this basis I would have
accepted "Brader's magpie" for full points on #4, but not "teal"
by itself on #3.) So be as specific as you can; it won't hurt.

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-03-19,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.

that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
