  • 2010 Hybrid Tournament: Lisgar a Questions By: Angela Li, Patrick Liao, Stuart Mcdonald, Joe Su, Di Xiao
    2010 Hybrid Tournament: Lisgar A Questions by: Angela Li, Patrick Liao, Stuart McDonald, Joe Su, Di Xiao Tossups 1. In a challenge series in 1904, this team injured 7 of the Winnipeg Rowing Club’s 9 players. The Gilmour Brothers of Dave, Studdy, and Bill, the Stuart brothers of Bruce and Hod, and the McGee brothers of Jim and Frank all played for this team between 1903 and 1906. The Dawson City Nuggets travelled from Yukon (*) to Ontario between December 18 1904 and January 11 1905 via sled, bike, ship, and train to challenge this team in a best-of-three series, which Dawson lost 2-0 by scores of 9-2 and 23-2. After this victory, players of this team took the Stanley Cup they had just won and attempted to drop-kick it across the Rideau Canal. For ten points, name this hockey team which would later become the Ottawa Senators, named after the number of players a team had on the ice. ANSWER: Ottawa Silver Seven [do not accept “Ottawa Senators”] 2. This doctor builds himself a canoe from human skin, and he reprimands his cousin Sympson for making factual edits to his memoirs. He meets one professor who tries to employ spiders in making silk, and another who tries to "reduce human excrement to its original food" in his time at the grand academy of Lagado. His "little nurse" Glumdalclitch carries him around in a box for some time, and earlier, he puts out a fire at the palace with his own urine. Requiring a bed made of 600 regular beds sewn together, name for ten points this “man-mountain” and talking Yahoo, a creation of Jonathan Swift who travels to Laputa, Brobdingnag, and Lilliput.

    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.
