Round XV - February 15th, 2005...
The Results!
9 people played this round...
Question I: Name an original gate of Jerusalem's old city...
For 10 points: Lion's Gate/St. Stephen's Gate, Herod's Gate
For 5 points: Dung Gate (2), Damascus Gate/Northern Gate (4)
Almost Not Accepted: The Triple Gate (It'll get 5 points), as this was a gate to the Temple Mount, and not into the city, as I requested.
Not mentioned: Jaffa Gate, Golden Gate and the Zion Gate
These gates were originally built by King Herod, and rebuilt by Suleiman the Great - the Ottoman ruler. Suleiman bilt on the ruins of the original gates and added one of his own - the New Gate. The Golden gate has been walled off by the Arabs since 810 A.D. as this is the gate through which the Messiah will come through.
Question II: Name a horned dinosaur (with horns on its HEAD)...
For 10 points: Liaoceratops, Chasmosaurus
For 5 points: Triceratops (4), Pentaceratops (2)
Not Accepted: Ceratopsid - as this is the general name for all of the horned dinosaurs.
Not mentioned: Stegoceras, Monoceratops, Styracosaurus, Achelosaurus, Anchiceratops, Protoceratops, Pachyrhinosaurus, Brachyceratops, Leptoceratops, Psittacosaurus, among many others.
Question III: Name a Swedish monarch of the house of Vasa...
For 10 points: Christina, Gustav I, Gustav II Adolph (aka. Gustav the Great), Sigismund I and Charles IX
For 5 points: John (or Johan) III
Not Mentioned: Only one more to mention - Eric XIV
The House of Vasa was the ruling house of both Poland and Sweden at one point. The Polish branch of the family was Catholic, and the Swedish branch was Protestant, and this ironically led to strife betweent he two countries.
Question IV: Name a country that used to be a part of Yugoslavia...
For 10 points: Bosnia and Herzegovina
For 5 points: Serbia and Montenegro (3), Croatia (2), Slovenia (2)
Not accepted: Slovakia - this is a country that came about when Czecheslovakia broke apart into Czech Republic and Slovakia
Not mentioned: Macedonia
Yugoslavia was created following World War I, and held together for over 70 years. It was the only communist country not under the yoke of Moscow. It broke up following the breakup of the Soviet Union, into 5 soverign nations. However, he new face of the Balkans has been scarred by civil war and unrest between these new countries.
Question V: Name a language that is written from right to left...
For 10 points: Aramaic, Kurdish (Sorani) and Arabic
For 5 points: Hebrew (3) and Urdu (2)
Not accepted: Japanese - this was a tricky one. See here for details. This language was originally written top-to-bottom, from the right to the left of the page. When the Japanese wanted to make their language more "western" and horizontalized it, it was originally written right-to-left, but quickly was changed to left-to-right. Although right-to-left Japanese can be found nowadays, it is not generally accepted, and the correct way of writing horizontal Japanese is left-to-right
Not mentioned: Mandekan, Dhivehi, Maldivian, Assyrian, Syriac, Bakhtiari, Tamashek, Balochi, Farsi/Persian, Gilaki, Javanese, Kashmiri, Kazakh, Malay, Pashto, Yiddish, Punjabi, Qashqai, Sindhi, Somali, Sulu, Takestani, Turkmen, and Uighur. I hope I haven't omitted any...
The Results:
Our winners: gatsby722 and Santana2002 with 40! points...
The rest:
30 points: beaker411, achernar, ozzz2002, ElfTwinkle and Julia103
25 points: cinnamOn
20 points: littlewoman2
Thanks to all for playing and for your patience and understanding waiting for this to be written up.
Congratulations to gatsby722.
Have a great week and see you all in March!
Santana hath justified the 'Northern Gate' answer, therefore receives another 5 pts. Revised and recalculated...

I'd like to comment even though I didn't take part in this round.
I am part of a half-Australian, half-Japanese family and I read Japanese every day as part of my business...When Japanese is written horizontally it is now standard to read from left to right, but it is still very common for text to be written vertically from right to left. Just take a look at any Japanese newspaper - the headlines will be horizontal left to right and the text will be vertical right to left. Books come either way and you can often find both styles in the same book.

How do you write vertically from left to right? Wouldn't that be up or down? Just curious...

Sorry - I knew what I meant!  The vertical lines of writing go from right to left across the page, beginning in the top right hand corner of the page. So in that sense Japanese is still a language that is written from right to left...

Round 26 Results
(now editted to include cinnam0n's answers)
There were 10 participants this round.
1. A Nation whose flag has at most two colors
10: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Greece, Israel, Kyrgyztan, Libya, Somalia, Sweden, Vietnam
5: Qatar (2)
While there were plenty of other acceptable answers (Canada, Japan, Norway, etc.), the "at most" wouldn't apply to any of them. Libya is the only nation to have a monochromatic flag (Green, in their case).
2: A 2 letter Scrabble "X" word
5: Ax, Ox, Xi, Xu (2 each)
Not accepted: Xe (an abbreviation, so not legal in Scrabble), Xylophone (too long)
If the online anagrammer I used is right, Scrabble is one of only 6 letters in the alphabet that can make a letter with all 5 vowels (ax, ex, xi, ox, xu; the other letters are H,M,N,S,T). However, X is worth far more than the other letters with this property, and can make very high scoring one tile plays.
3: An element from the 2nd to last column of the Periodic Table
10: Bromine, Chlorine
5: Astatine, Flourine, Iodine (2 each)
Not accepted: Argon, Lutetium (both in other columns). All acceptable answers were given by at least one person.
The Halogens are named for their ability to form salts with other elements, particularly those in the first two columns of the periodic tables. I consider it one of the great wonders of chemistry that Chlorine (A poisonous gas once used as a chemical weapon) and Sodium (a metal that explodes violently upon the briefest contact with water) combine to form...table salt.
4. A word formed from letters in the middle row of the typewriter
10: Dash, Fad, Flag, Flask Gala, Gas, Hasad, Jag
5: Dag (2)
Unlike question 2, I didn't think to restrict answers here to English words, so Hasad (An Arabic term for jealousy or envy) is automatically acceptable. Surprisingly, dag (literally meaning wool on a sheep's tail, but in Aussie slang any unkempt person) was the only duplicated answer.
5: A Best Supporting Actor/Actress Nominee
10: Laura Linney, Morgan Freeman, Natalie Portman, Sophie Okonedo, Virginia Madsen
5: Alan Alda, Cate Blanchett.
Not mentioned: Clive Owen, Jamie Foxx, and Thomas Haden Church
Not accepted: Kate Winslett, who was nominated in a lead role, but not a supporting one.
In a normal year only two of the nominees would walk away with a Golden Statuette, but this year Jamie Foxx picked up a best Actor win for "Ray" after failing to win Supporting Actor for "Collateral" (the other winners were Morgan Freeman and Cate Blanchett). Is this the first time someone's won a leading role Oscar the same night they lost on a supporting role one?
Final Scores:
45: Santana2002
40: Littlewoman2
35: Elftwinkle, Exit10, Julia103, Trident87
30: Cinnam0n, Gemini19, Ozzz2002
25: Gatsby722
Congratulations to Santana2002, and thanks everybody who participated!

5 Points: peanut (3), hazelnut (3), chestnut (3)
Not mentioned: cobnut, coconut, butternut,
3. Name a GI (glycaemic index) food over 19 and less than 30.
Boy did I come unstuck here folks! I wasn't aware that there were so many 'varying' GI values for the same food. As a result, most of you were awarded your points because they fit into one table or another.
My principle site used was http://www.glycaemicindex.com/, however these other three were quoted as well.
http://www.glycemicindex.com/
http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/diet/gi_diet/glycaemic_index_tables.htm
10 Points: lentils, grapefruit, dark chocolate, cherries, mung beans, milk, peanut, boiled chickpea
5 Points: kidney beans (2)
4. Name a famous weight loss organisation.
10 Points: Rosemary Conley, TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), Curves International Inc
5 Points: Jenny Craig (4), Weight Watchers (3)
Unfortunately, the Royal College of Surgeons just doesn't cut it (pun intended). Going under the knife to remove fat wasn't quite what I meant.
Not mentioned: Slimming World and Slimfast
5. Name a piece of equipment you would find in a typical gym.
10 Points: Heart rate monitor, dumbell, Leg press, skipping rope
5 Points: rowing machine (2), barbells (2), stationery exercise bike (2)
Not allowed: A cross trainer isn't really a piece of equipment.
Not mentioned: stacks included treadmill, exercise balls, stair steppers/stairmaster, tons of stuff.
Scores:
Littlewoman 45
Trident 40
elftwinkle 35
cinnam0n 35
Kevin 35
Julia 35
Ozzz 35
Santana 35
Gats 35
Bracklaman 30
JaneMarple 15
Congrats to Littlewoman who outshone a very close field.
Edited to allow chickpeas and alter scores accordingly.
