* Game 8, Round 7 - Science - Forensic Science
1. In 1910, the world's first crime lab was established. In what
country?
3. Cyanoacrylate is commonly marketed for a purpose that has
nothing to do with forensics. In the 1970s, however, it was found
useful in revealing latent fingerprints. By what product name is cyanoacrylate known?
4. Before fingerprints were established as the best organizing
principle for keeping records of arrestees, this Frenchman
established a system based on 5 measurements -- beginning with
head length and head breadth. Name him.
5. In 1988, English rape-murderer Colin Pitchfork was the first person convicted on the basis of what kind of evidence?
6. The first matching-materials case: In 1784, John Toms was
convicted of fatally shooting a man in the head. A scrap of torn
newspaper in Toms's pocket was found to match another scrap of
newspaper found where?
7. What is the name of that branch of medicine that examines the
bodies of individuals that have died violent or suspicious deaths? Practitioners determine the identify of a body and the cause of death.
9. In the 1830s, James Marsh developed a test that could detect 1/50
of a milligram of which poison?
10. The word "forensic" derives from the place where at one time
criminal charges were debated. What place?
* Game 8, Round 8 - Sports that Didn't Make the Cut
1. This sport was played just once, in 1900. In the end, only
two teams actually played: Great Britain and France (most of whom
were expat Brits anyway). Britain won by a score of 262-104.
What sport?
2. in 1900, a shooting competition used live animals as targets.
Over 300 were killed, leaving such a mess that the competition
was discontinued. What animal were they shooting at?
4. In the Games of 1904, this sport avoided unintentional deaths by
using a plaster dummy. In the Intercalated Games of 1906,
two live people competed against each other, making the dummy
unnecessary; however, wax bullets were used. What was the sport?
6. The 1900 Olympics saw a number of women in competition in golf,
tennis, and this sport -- a typically leisurely, genteel pastime
using mallets and balls. One reason it was discontinued may
have been that it was so boring -- only one spectator showed up.
What sport was it?
7. This sport lasted from 1900 to 1920. A simple contest -- two
teams facing off against each other. Great Britain tended
to be represented by the London and Liverpool Police Forces.
Liverpool was accused of violating one of the rules that banned
"prepared boots or shoes with any protruding nails". What was
the sport?
8. From 1896 to 1932, one of the gymnastics competitions had
athletes start from a sitting position and reaching a height
of 24 feet. The fastest time, usually between 7 and 15 seconds,
would win. What was the sport?
9. In 1924, 1932, and 1936 just one medal was awarded each time
for this category, as it was more of a recognition of a major
feat rather than a competition. The event didn't actually
occur during the games or even in the country where the games
were held. One year the British failed in their attempt when
7 of their team died in an avalanche, What was the sport?
10. Another series of competitions weren't sports but rather
inspired by them. Often called the "Pentathlon of the Muses",
it was held in every Olympics from 1912 to 1948. What was
this non-sport?

8. What do we call the science of the propulsion, flight, and impact of projectiles?
10. The word "forensic" derives from the place where at one time
criminal charges were debated. What place?
* Game 8, Round 8 - Sports that Didn't Make the Cut
In 1921, it wasn't the IOC that decided which sports were "Olympic"
and which were not. Here are 10 questions about official medal
events that made brief appearances in the early days.

Over 300 were killed, leaving such a mess that the competition

3. You'll still find this sport in the Olympics today, but in 1896,
and only 1896, there was a one-handed variation. What sport?
4. In the Games of 1904, this sport avoided unintentional deaths by
using a plaster dummy. In the Intercalated Games of 1906,
two live people competed against each other, making the dummy
unnecessary; however, wax bullets were used. What was the sport?

and 1908. Canada won both times. But another Canadian
Indigenous team also competed, winning bronze. Which sport?
