  • BASQUE 97 Questions by Maribeth Swiatek, Albert Chiu, and Richard Mason TOSS-UPS
    BASQUE 97 Questions by Maribeth Swiatek, Albert Chiu, and Richard Mason TOSS-UPS 1. Its overture, which is based upon the Pilgrims Chorus, has two versions, the Dresden, and the Paris. The opera opens in the court of Venus, and ends when the Pope's staff springs into bloom. In the mean time, Elisabeth has died believing that her title character lover was unsuccessful in his pilgrimage to Rome. For ten points name this opera which centers around a Song Contest at the Wartburg Castle by Wagner. ANSWER: _TANNHAUSER- and the Song Contest at the Wartburg 2. Pierce Brosnan's infant son mayor may not have been given his first and middle names after an author famous for the BBC radio broadcasts which later became the collections Adventures in the Skin Trade and Quite Early One Morning. His wife, Caitlin, wrote a novel about him, Leftover Life to Kill, after his death of 'eighteen straight whiskeys' in 1953. For ten points, name this Welsh author of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog and Under Milk Wood. 3. Its vitreous form, a semi-crystalline glass made from crosslinked polymers, is an impermeable, low-density material with tetrahedral bonds between hexagonal layers. Another form has no bonds between hexagonal layers, a more valuable form consists of only tetrahedral bonds, and the discovery of a truncated icosahedral form won Rice university researchers the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For ten points, name this element, the basis of organic compounds. 4. This problem, first proposed in 1852 by a British grad student, was made into a game by Lewis Carroll, although, since the correct conjecture hadn't been proved, he had a wrong answer of five.
