* Game 5, Round 7 - Geography - Indigenous Peoples
Please see the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/5-7/people.jpg
We give you the name of an indigenous people or group, and you
tell us which letter on the map coincides with a typical part of
their geographical range.
1. Sami.
2. !Kung.
3. Pygmies.
4. Berbers.
5. Nubians.
6. Marsh Arabs.
7. Kanaka Maoli.
8. Uyghurs ["WEE-gurz"].
9. Rapanui (or Rapa Nui).
10. Amerindians. Note: while this term may have been originally
coined to have a wider meaning, today it is typically used to
refer to the indigenous peoples of a smaller, more specific
range. We're looking for this narrower usage.
* Game 5, Round 8 - Science - Skull and Bones... or Backbones, Anyway
This is a round about the human spine, with a nod to the skull
and related structures.
1. The spine consists of 24 articulating vertebrae. How many of
these are cervical vertebrae, making up the neck?
2. There are 12 vertebrae which have ribs more or less attached.
What are they called?
3. And the remaining vertebrae are called what?
5. Between each vertebra and the next is an intervertebral disk.
What is it called when one of these is injured and forced out
of position?
6. What congenital condition results in a sideways curvature of
the spine?
7. What is CSF short for? This is the liquid that surrounds the
spinal cord and the brain, and may be sometimes "tapped into"
(with a spinal tap) to test for disease.
10. The protective membranes of the brain and spinal column,
containing the CSF, may become the site of life-threatening
inflammation caused by infection by viruses or baceteria.
What are these membranes collectively known as?
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-02-10,
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*)".
