* Game 10, Round 4 - Canadiana Geography - Prairie Towns
Here <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-04/prairie.png> is a map
of the three prairie provinces. On each question we will provide
you with the name of a city or town, and you give us the number
of the corresponding circle on the map.
1. Edmonton.
2. Winnipeg.
3. Prince Albert.
4. Medicine Hat.
5. Flin Flon.
6. Swift Current.
7. Fort McMurray.
8. Red Deer.
9. Brandon.
10. Lloydminster.
* Game 10, Round 6 - Canadiana Science - Canadian Inventions
1. This packaging was invented in 1911 by newspaper editor Joseph
Coyle of Smithers, BC, to solve a dispute between a local farmer
and hotel owner over the accidental breakage of a product being
delivered from the farm to the hotel.
3. While working for Union Carbide in the 1950s, Canadian engineer
Lewis Urry developed this invention, which improved significantly
on the zinc-carbon types (with acid electrolyte) in use at that
time. Be sufficiently specific.
6. This oil-producing plant is a cultivar of a naturally occurring
plant. It was developed in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur
R. Stefansson in the early 1970s. It contains much less acid
than its predecessor, which makes it much more palatable to
both humans and livestock.
7. Name the Canadian credited with inventing the goalie mask.
9. This innovation by George Retzlaff of the CBC made its
debut in 1955 during a broadcast of "Hockey Night in Canada".
10. This computer language was created by Canada's James Gosling
in June 1991 while working for Sun Microsystems. Its first
public implementation was in 1995.

* Game 10, Round 6 - Canadiana Science - Canadian Inventions
1. This packaging was invented in 1911 by newspaper editor Joseph
Coyle of Smithers, BC, to solve a dispute between a local farmer
and hotel owner over the accidental breakage of a product being
delivered from the farm to the hotel.
2. This variant of a popular sport (or, to some, a game) was
devised in the early 20th century by Thomas F. Ryan in Toronto.
He developed it in response to customers who complained that
the more standard version of the sport was too strenuous.
This variant is still played almost exclusively in Canada.
Be sufficiently specific.
3. While working for Union Carbide in the 1950s, Canadian engineer
Lewis Urry developed this invention, which improved significantly
on the zinc-carbon types (with acid electrolyte) in use at that
time. Be sufficiently specific.
4. This two-player mechanical game was invented in 1932 in Toronto
by Don Munro Sr. It was built out of scrap wood and metal,
and included used coat-hanger wire, butcher's twine, and
clock springs. Don took the game down to the local Eaton's
department store, where it sold quickly, prompting more orders.
5. Arthur Sicard of Ste-Thérèse, QC, is generally credited as the
inventor of the first practical version of this device. By 1927
his invention was being used to remove snow from the roadways
of the town of Outremont, now a borough of Montreal.
6. This oil-producing plant is a cultivar of a naturally occurring
plant. It was developed in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur
R. Stefansson in the early 1970s. It contains much less acid

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-04-02,
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.
