These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2025-11-17,
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 the Cellar Rats, 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 2026-03-10
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".


** Game 9, Round 9 - Science - Numbers and Symbols

Please see tha handout grid of 20 images:

http://www.vex.net/~msb/tmp/QFTCI/9-9/numb.jpg

Give the letter of the image that shows a number that corresponds to
the number named in each question. For example, if the question
was "the number of letters in the English alphabet", you'd be
looking for the image that has the number 26 in it. In the images,
numbers might be represented by their common mathematical symbol,
or might be given in a foreign language.

1. The number of stars in the Big Dipper.
2. Avogadro's number.
3. The number of furlongs in a mile.
4. The number of sides in a hendecagon.
5. The number of pecks in a bushel.
6. The number of numbers.
7. The tangent of 45 degrees.
8. The number of books in the New Testament of the Bible.
9. The number of pieces in a standard "double 6" set of dominoes.
10. The number of flat faces on a dodecahedron.

If I humiliate myself by answering a smallish subset of
Mr. Brader's recent queries (and even getting many of those wrong)
will you all take a shot at my own query, "Which country names did I erase?"?

If not, I'll have to insist that one of you gurus issues a Cancel command
(if there still is such a thing) against this post.

I suppose I'll have to live with a small penalty for a double guess.
In return I'll request a large reward for complete capitulation, submitting "Pass" in lieu of any guesses at all.

1. The number of stars in the Big Dipper.

C (7). 4 for everyone -- Dan Blum, James, Dan Tilque, Erland,
Joshua, and Pete.

2. Avogadro's number.

B (6.02... + 10^23). 4 for everyone.

3. The number of furlongs in a mile.

N (8). 4 for James, Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Pete.

4. The number of sides in a hendecagon.

R (11). 4 for Dan Tilque and Erland. 3 for Pete.

5. The number of pecks in a bushel.

G (4). 4 for Dan Blum, James, Dan Tilque, and Joshua.

6. The number of numbers.

S (infinity). 4 for Dan Blum, James, Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Pete.

I wasn't happy with this question since not all infinite sets are
the same size. For example, the number of real numbers (or complex
numbers), is C, while the number of integers is aleph-null (Hebrew
letter aleph with subscript 0), but neither of these appears on
the grid, so S is the only possible answer.

7. The tangent of 45 degrees.

L (1). 4 for everyone.

8. The number of books in the New Testament of the Bible.

E (27). 4 for Dan Tilque. 3 for Dan Blum, James, and Pete.

Yeah, a science question.

9. The number of pieces in a standard "double 6" set of dominoes.

O (28). 4 for everyone.

10. The number of flat faces on a dodecahedron.

F (12). 4 for Dan Blum, James, Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Pete.

As to the decoys, J is Boltzmann's constant, P is Planck's constant,
and most of the rest are obvious.
