Set took the form of a black boar to swallow an entity identified as one of these objects. After returning to Atum with Tefnut and Shu, a figure identified as one of these objects was placated with transformation into the first uraeus (“yoo-REE-us”) . During his battles with Horus, Set buried these objects on a mountainside, where they grew into lotuses. Thoth journeyed to Nubia to convince the Distant Goddess, also known as one of these objects, to return to Egypt, where she reverted to a more benevolent form after seeing music and dancing. Sekhmet and (*) Bast have been identified with that goddess representing the wrath of the sun, known as one of these objects belonging to Ra. Thoth used minerals and plants to fill and heal one of these body parts, which was depicted as the protective wedjat . For 10 points, what body parts belonging to Horus represented the sun and moon? ANSWER: eye s [accept the Eye of Horus or the Eye of Ra; accept wedjat until read] <AY, Beliefs> 2. Madagascar’s famine has been exacerbated by events of this type known as tiomena , which gain their characteristic red tint from iron-rich laterite. Outbreaks of meningococcal meningitis in its namesake “belt” correlate with increased instances of these events during the Harmattan. The Bodélé Depression of Lake Chad feeds many of these events whose simoom variety can overwhelm the sweating response causing sudden (*) heatstroke. Thunderstorms may accompany instances of these events known as haboobs . They’re not floods, but these events form the majority of loess deposits. Pneumonia and silicosis may result from excessive exposure to these events that, in Africa, provide enriching nutrients to the Amazon Basin. For 10 points, the Sahara is plagued by what events characterized by loose particles of earth blown by strong winds? ANSWER: sandstorm s [or dust storm s; accept SDS ; accept simoom s or simoon until read; accept haboob ; accept answers indicating clouds of dust or sand or dirt or silt or clay or soil blown by strong wind s; prompt on storms or wind by asking “what is the storm/wind carrying?”] <KT, Geography> 3. The protagonist of a novel by this author is a time traveler who becomes Lilith’s lover and stops Abraham from sacrificing Isaac. After fainting in a crowded church, the protagonist of a novel by this author realizes that all of the people depicted in the church’s artworks have had their eyes covered with paint or cloth. The title character of a novel by this author is forced to sacrifice his favorite sheep while apprenticed to a (*) shepherd, who is the Devil in disguise. This author created a woman who stabs the leader of a group of thugs in the throat with scissors while living in a hospital ward with the girl with dark glasses. A novel by this author begins with a city falling victim to the “white sickness,” to which only the doctor’s wife is immune. For 10 points, name this Portuguese author of Blindness . ANSWER: José Saramago [or José de Sousa Saramago ] (The first novel is Cain. ) <CM, European Literature> 4. Styrene-maleic acid copolymers are used to create native nanodiscs that mimic the environment of these structures. Partially immobilized annular shells may bind to this structure’s proteins while interacting with certain “bulk” compounds. In models, these structures can coexist in gel, liquid-ordered, and
liquid-disordered phases. Eicosanoids are produced in a pathway that [emphasize] originates from one of these structures in which enzymes like ALOX5 and COX1 act on arachidonic acid, which is released from that structure. (*) Prostaglandins are derived from these structures, which contain sphingolipid-rich “rafts.” Unlike peptide hormones, steroid hormones can cross these structures, which contain amphipathic molecules with hydrophobic tails and a hydrophilic head as seen in the fluid mosaic model. For 10 points, phospholipid bilayers comprise what protective structures? ANSWER: membrane s [accept cell membrane or plasma membrane ; accept specific organellar membranes such as the mitochondrial membrane s or Golgi membrane or ER membrane ; accept lipid membrane s; accept lipid bilayer s or phospholipid bilayer s until read; prompt on lipid rafts until “rafts” is read by asking “what larger structure are they part of?”; prompt on lipids or phospholipids] <JZ, Biology> 5. In 2020, Borry et al. developed an “ID” method for determining this substance’s source. Population trends in ancient settlements can be determined by comparing the amount of a certain 27-carbon stanol with its “epi” derivative in this substance. They’re not bog bodies, but “paleo” examples of this substance form protective outer shells thanks to the Maillard reaction. An extremely large example of this substance belonging to a Viking is named for Lloyd’s Bank. The presence of this substance in the Paisley Caves is some of the earliest evidence of (*) human habitation in North America. Mary Anning discovered the first coprolites, which are fossilized examples of this non-hair substance that can be analyzed to determine parasitic infections or diet. For 10 points, name this substance that, when used as fertilizer, is called manure. ANSWER: feces [or dung or turd or scat or poop or excrement or shit or other synonyms; accept manure ; accept paleo feces ; accept coprolite s until read; accept coproID ] (CoproID is particularly useful in separating human feces from dog feces; coprostanol is used as a fecal biomarker in archaeology.) <KT, Ancient History and Archaeology> 6. Note to moderator: Read answerline carefully. One of these events concluded with the ascetic Koṇḍañña becoming the first stream-enterer. Because he was not physically present for some of these events, Ānanda originated the formulaic phrase “thus have I heard” at later events. The Dhamek Stupa commemorates the site of one of these events, which was also celebrated by Ashoka’s Lion Capital. Another of these events opened with the proclamation that “all is burning.” (*) Mahākāshyapa smiled after the central figure of one of these events silently held up a flower. The second of these events promulgated the “no-soul doctrine” or anattā. The first of these events occurred at Deer Park in Sārnāth, where teachings about escaping dukkha “set in motion” the wheel of Dharma.

A probability measure can be expressed as the sum of a singular measure and a measure with a kind of this property according to Lebesgue’s decomposition theorem. In a compact set, the Heine–Cantor theorem presents a statement about functions with this property that can be used to prove Cauchy’s Theorem. One can prove that a sequence of functions converges to one with this property by applying the Weierstrass M-test and uniform limit theorem together. An integral with non-infinite integrands is (*) improper if this property does not hold for at least one point in the interval of integration. Functions that scale distances by at most a constant factor demonstrate a strong form of this property named for Lipschitz. For 10 points, name this property that holds at a limit point if and only if the limit as the function approaches the limit point is equal to the function’s value at the limit point.
ANSWER: continuity [accept word forms like continuous ; accept Lipschitz continuous or Lipschitz continuity ; accept singular continuous ; accept absolutely continuous ] <KJ, Other Science: Math> 8. At the beginning of this film, Kaya gifts a crystal dagger necklace to a character who is later stabbed with it.

ANSWER: Princess Mononoke [or Mononoke-hime ] <CH, Other Arts: Visual> 9. A contributor to this poem joked that he had performed a “Caesarean Operation” on its author in the poem “Sage Homme.” This poem’s author scrapped a stanza about “white-armed Fresca” in favor of one that borrows from Spenser’s Prothalamion by asking a river to “run softly till I end my song.” A draft of this poem shows the addition of the line, “Marie, hold on tight,” and reveals its Dickens-inspired working title, (*) He Do the Police in Different Voices . A poet who insisted on the importance of a “Phoenician, a fortnight dead” in this poem was credited in its dedication as “il miglior fabbro.” A description of a time period “breeding lilacs out of the dead land” opens “The Burial of the Dead,” the first section of this Ezra Pound-edited poem. For 10 points, name this long Modernist poem by T. S. Eliot. ANSWER: The Waste Land <HG, British Literature> 10. Protestors chanted for this leader to go “to the Castle” almost 20 years after this leader was forced into being a forestry official. Under this leader, former political dissidents formed into Klub 231 and the KAN party. This leader’s policies were critiqued by a manifesto titled “The Two Thousand Words” and involved a Constitutional Act that split his country into two federations. This Esperanto speaker brought in Ota Šik (“oh-tah shik”) and other political opponents of (*) Antonín Novotný to execute his “Action Programme.” A period instigated by this leader witnessed the self-immolation of the student Jan Palach (“yawn pah-lock”) in Wenceslas Square. The hardliner Gustav Husák replaced this leader after a 1968 Soviet invasion. “Socialism with a human face” was the slogan of, for 10 points, what Slovak reformer who began the Prague Spring? ANSWER: Alexander Dubček (“DOOB-chek”) <GE, European History> 11. This piece’s fourth movement contrasts a D-flat major chorale with a triplet “inferno” theme to represent heaven and hell. This piece opens by establishing a two-note “nature theme” of descending fourths beginning with A–E, which is interrupted by an “awakening call” from the clarinets before muted offstage trumpets enter with a fanfare. The end of this piece’s fourth movement calls for the French horns to stand and “drown out” the orchestra “including the trumpets.” This piece’s (*) “Blumine” movement was removed after its third performance in 1894. This piece’s third movement, which the composer described as a “tragic irony,” mimics a klezmer band in its second section after its opening funeral march quotes “Frère Jacques” in D minor.
