Tossups:
1. Late in life, he spent time with both the Black Panthers and the PLO, periods which he chronicled in his last work,
A Prisoner of Love. An arrant thief, he was imprisoned numerous times throughout his life, and famously discovered
his homosexuality while imprisoned as a teen, a time recounted in his book A Thief's Journal. While still in prison,
his novel Our Lady of the Flowers came to the attention of Jean Cocteau, who fought to have him released. FTP,
name this French playwright, author of The Maids, The Balcony, and The Blacks.
ANSWER: Jean Genet
2. “Tomato,” from Georges Barrrere’s In the Vegetable Garden, is based on this work. The original score of one
movement of this symphony, which at one point belonged to Felix Mendelssohn’s godson, shows that its most
famous part was merely an afterthought. Its first movement, though traditional in its establishment of the dominant
D major, introduces its first theme in F Major, and an erroneous crescendo appears in many scores of the finale. In
German, it is known as the Symphony with the Kettledrum, due to the timpani’s presence in its most famous part.
For 10 points, name this London symphony, a work by Franz Joseph Haydn whose second, Andante, movement
contains an unexpected fortissimo chord.
ANSWER: Surprise Symphony, No. 94 in G Major [accept either]
3. A 2005 paper by Ward explored why this entity used greater levels of state violence and terror than other similar
entities. It included the Lado Enclave that reverted to British control after it dissolved. District officials in this
entity were paid on a commission based on the profit they generated for the “owner” of it. Most of its territory was
in the Domaine Prive [dough-man pree-vay], and native communities were required to provide food and rubber
payments. Those who provided insufficient payments suffered from the “currency of the severed hands” perpetrated
by the Force Publique. The Casement Report detailed abuses in it, while works of literature titled after its owner’s
“Soliliquy” and “Ghost” detail its impact. With capital at Boma and lasting from the Berlin Conference until 1908,
name, for 10 points, this private colony of Leopold II, the predecessor state to the Belgian Congo.
Answer: Congo Free State (do NOT accept or prompt on Belgian Congo or Congo)
4. One process that makes use of this effect was developed by Charles Tipler, while a very similar process making
use of this effect is partly named for William Hampson. If the thermal expansion coefficient times temperature
equals one, then this effect's coefficient is zero, while this effect is commonly used in the Linde process. This effect
is most commonly used when the gas is below the inversion temperature, which means that its namesake coefficient
is positive. Ideal gases don't experience this effect, which occurs at constant enthalpy. FTP, identify this throttling
process, which causes the temperature of a gas to change as it expands through a valve, named after two scientists.
ANSWER: Joule-Thomson (OR Joule-Kelvin, accept names in either order)
5. Its white branch begins in the Fichtelgebirge, and both its white and red branches join in Kulmbach. Major
tributaries of it include the Tauber and Regnitz, and it is well known for its wines, served in the so-called
Bochsbeutel [box-boy-tel]. Towns on it include Lohr, Wertheim, Aschaffenburg and Wurzburg, and Bayreuth is
located on its red branch. It is navigable downstream of Bamberg, while a canal completed in 1992 connects it to the
Danube River Basin. Beyond its origins in upper-Franconia, it flows further through Bavaria, Baden-Wurttemburg,
and Hesse. It is an important European waterway, and a major right tributary of the Rhine. FTP, Frankfurt lies on
and is named after what German river?
Answer: Main
6. The first chapter of this work considers three possible meanings of the sentence "The definition of horse is 'A
hoofed quadruped of the genus Equus.'" The author considers the title of its last chapter ambiguous, offering
"summum bonum" as one possible meaning. The second chapter criticizes Herbert Spencer, saying he is not so
much an evolutionist as a hedonist, while the third chapter adopts the term "intuition" from Henry Sidgwick, who
had an important influence on the author of this work. The author says it is an "open question" whether that which
is normal is good, thus criticizing the "naturalistic fallacy." FTP, identify this 1903 work, the magnum opus of G.E.
Moore.
ANSWER: Principia Ethica
7. This poem’s author notes that its address to a “Storm-wind” in its seventh section “will not appear extravagant to
those who have heard it at night and in a mountainous country;” the end of that section discusses a lost child’s
attempt to make her mother hear her. Its eighth section asks “gentle Sleep” to visit a lady friend with “wings of
healing,” and notes that though it is midnight, the author cannot sleep. Beginning with a quote from the Ballad of Sir
Patrick Spens, this poem contains the lament “My genial spirits fail” in its third section. For 10 points, name this
rather depressing poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
ANSWER: Dejection: An Ode
8. Philip of Cognac was the only and illegitimate son of this man, who is buried at the Abbey of Fontevraud.
His engagement with Alix, countess of the Vexin did not result in marriage, as allegedly his own father took her as
mistress; he married Berengaria of Navarre instead. That marriage took place in Limassol after this man conquered
Cyprus from Isaac Comnenus. He came to the rescue of his sister, Queen Joan, in Sicily, and forced Tancred to
release her and reinstate her dowry. Leopold V of Austria imprisoned him in Durnstein, and both his brother and
Philip II of France plotted to keep him prisoner; instead, he was released on a huge ransom and returned to England.

brother of King John, leader of the 3rd crusade?

only famous Tampa Bay Rays Season ticket holder. In 2004 he released his autobiography living a dream. FTP,
name this famous broadcasting legend who adds baby to the end of a lot of his sentences while announcing college

10. Members of this religion recite the Avashyakas, and its central hymn is the Namokar Mantra. It states that
Siddha live in the supreme abode, while the lowest forms of life inhabit the Nigoda, and it divides time into
progressive and regressive time cycles called kalcharkas. It is believed in this religion that women can never reach
the afterlife as it requires being naked which is not allowed by women. It is divided into two groups, one where

sects. Those who achieve enlightenment are called Tirthankars and there are 24 of them, the last of which was
Mahavira. For ten points, name this nonviolent Indian religion.

12. In the pituitary gland, stimulation by LHRH causes repeated spikes in the cytosolic concentration of this ion,
while the TRP channel opens in response to low levels of this ion in the endoplasmic reticulum. This ion is
necessary for the formation of tight junctions, and cell-cell adhesion is prevented in solutions deficient in this ion,
but only when expressing E-cadherin. A rise in the concentration of this ion causes secretion of insulin, and myosin
light-chain kinase is activated by a complex of four of these ions and a certain protein. For 10 points, name this ion

14. Franklin Toker has written a book that interviewed John Howe and Robert Mosher on its construction, and
Edgar Tafel was apprenticed to its principal architect. Its architect once recommended covering its concrete surfaces
with gold leaf, and it was the basis of much of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. The original plan for it involved a
more conventional placement near the foot of a cliff; however, the architect decided instead to make the building
conform to the cliff itself. Featuring extensive use of cantilevered floors and reinforced concrete as supports, it was
constructed for Pittsburgh retail magnate Edgar Kaufmann. FTP, name this most famous Frank Lloyd Wright

Great Swamp Fight. The key event that started the conflict was the murder of the Christian convert John Sassomon,
and forces led by Benjamin Church captured the other side's leader who had succeeded his brother Wamsutta. FTP,

23. A 2006 paper by Given explored how this biological mechanism related to social policy towards the tobacco
industry, while Kathleen Eisenhardt used it to describe how administrative organizations change. Richard Dawkins
has argued that the fossil record does not validate this mechanism. One of the co-proposers of it stated that
cladogenesis predicted by it would occur in small, isolated populations. Based off of Mayr’s theory of allopatric
speciation, it was first proposed in a 1972 paper by Nils Eldredge and Steven Jay Gould. For 10 points, name this
theory of evolution which states that relatively long periods of evolutionary stability occur between relatively short
