* Game 10, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - Nerdy Hobbies
1. Designing and wearing outfits based on characters from anime,
comics, and movies.
2. Finding hidden markers in the wilderness with only GPS
coordinates as your guide.
4. Programming interfaces and playing old video games (including
both arcade games and home-console games) from earlier decades
on modern computers.
5. It's like Dungeons & Dragons, except instead of having character
sheets and playing at a kitchen table, you're out in the woods
doing it sort-of-for-real with weapons made of foam.
6. It's like <answer 5>, except instead of pretending to be fantasy
warriors and wizards, you're pretending to be real people from
actual history, often soldiers in battles.
7. Models of which type of animal are made by, among others,
Breyer, Schleich, Copperfox, and Beswick?
8. Models of this type are sold unconstructed and the hobby,
known by fans as "gunpla" ["gun-PLAH"] for one of the major
manufacturers, involves the building and painting of them as
well as the collecting. Brands include Gundam, Armored Core,
Macross, and Evangelion.
9. A classic collection choice, companies making these models
include Atlas, Marklin, Lionel, and Bachmann, among many others.
10. These models are released at scales between 1:64 and 1:23,
and major manufacturers include Jada, Kinsmart, Majorette,
Greenlight, as well as the two biggest manufacturers, which
we won't name because the question would be far too easy.
Models of what?
* Game 10, Round 5 - Audio - Oscar-Winning Movie Scores
1. Alan Menken, 1991.
7. Jerry Goldsmith, 1976.
* Game 10, Round 6 - Science - Pretty Flowers
1. Peony.
2. Dahlia.
3. Zinnia.
4. Hyacinth.
5. Hydrangea.
6. Calla lily.
7. Sweet William.
8. Chrysanthemum.
9. African violet.
10. Queen Anne's lace.
If you like, decode the rot13 to see the flowers for the 8 decoys
and answer for them for fun, but for no points.

* Game 10, Round 6 - Science - Pretty Flowers
Simple round we've got here! We've given you a 2-page handout with
a bunch of pretty flowers on it: we'll name the flower, and you
identify it on the handout. Also, this is a science round because
flowers are how many plants reproduce. See? That's science.

include Atlas, Marklin, Lionel, and Bachmann, among many others.

2. Finding hidden markers in the wilderness with only GPS

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2024-11-18,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said, and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2024-08-30
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition

Orienteeting does not involve "finding hidden markers".
But much more importantly, it does involve any GPS.
