ANSWER: James Oglethorpe
2. Part seven of this eight-part work is anchored by a discussion of 1597’s Boulston case, where the court tried to argue for corn-thieving rabbits as nuisance. Other sections focus on the “reciprocal nature” of the title concept and a dismissal of Pigou’s ideas in The Economics of Welfare. Expanding on an earlier essay’s arguments about the importance of transaction costs to the growth of the firm, this 1960 work argued that the initial allocation of legal rights doesn’t matter when the economic result is efficient, an idea now known as its author’s eponymous economic theorem. FTP, identify this classic article by Ronald Coase.

ANSWER: “The Problem of Social Cost

FTP, identify this battle that repulsed the French invasion of Mexico and is now remembered every fifth of May.

ANSWER: the Battle of Puebla
5. The second part opens with a woman on “a burnished throne” and ends with another woman at a bar telling her friend Lil about her decision to sleep with Albert. In this work, the Moon shines on Mrs. Porter and her daughter who wash their feet in soda water, a moment that is followed by a memory of Tereus raping Philomela. The middle section features Tiresias lamenting his man breasts and the final fragment features a cock standing on a rooftree calling out “Co co rico,” which brings a flash of lightning and then, rain. That part, “What the Thunder Said,” concludes with the repetition of the word “Shantih.” FTP, identify this work full of footnotes; a modernist poem dedicated to Ezra Pound and written by T.S. Eliot.

ANSWER: “The Waste Land


6. It was exacerbated by the death of a Mrs. Sherwood and was preceded by Miles Irving arresting two vocal nationalists, Drs. Kitchloo and Satyapal.

FPT, identify this 1868 novel that focuses on Rachel Verrinder and Sergeant Cuff’s attempts to find a lost gem; a work by Wilkie Collins.

ANSWER: The Moonstone


8. This distribution appears in and is the reason for the name of the distribution solution to Poisson’s equation. Generalizations of this to vector arguments are non-unique but can be determined by normalizing its all-space integral in light of any relevant symmetries. Reciprocity for Green’s functions for self-adjoint operators results from the odd parity of this since Green’s functions are the solutions to operator equations with this as the inhomogeneous term. Its convolution with a function gives the value of that function at the point where its argument vanishes by its sifting property. FTP, name this function defined by Dirac and named for a Greek letter.

ANSWER: Dirac delta function


9. His adventures are compared to those of Boreas in the first section of the Phaedrus. Often shown holding a chicken, he grew up in Phrygia and was indirectly responsible for his brother’s immortality, an attribute bargained for by Eos, who originally fetched him. Grief over his departure was assuaged somewhat by the two swift horses that Hermes brought his father and his story was used by Appolodorus and Plato to argue for the superiority of male love. This brother of Tithonus and son of Laomedon eventually succeeded Hebe in her primary position on Mt. Olympus. FTP, identify this Trojan prince who was loved by Zeus and became the cupbearer of the gods.

These nineteen- or twenty-member heterocyclic rings are unsynthesizable in the presence of ancymidol, function by altering transcription, and display an atypical sigmoidal dose response. Mendel’s Le gene is for a protein synthesizing these hormones which is understandable since that gene affects pea height.

ANSWER: Prosper Merimee


14. In an October, 1997 JCE article, Parquet and Lin outlined a microwave-assisted version of this procedure that creates a reagent in situ by irradiation of isatin. This reaction is analogous to hydroxylamine-mediated oxime synthesis. It is sometimes cited as only its second step, which is usually catalyzed by an alkali ethoxide or potassium hydroxide, but that second step cannot proceed without an initial hydroxone formation by the carbonyl-containing reactants. It is now rarely performed since it requires extremely dangerous heating of hydrazine in the presence of ketones or aldehydes. FTP, name this organic reduction of ketones or aldehydes to corresponding alkanes, named for German and Russian chemists.

ANSWER: Wolff-Kishner reduction


15. Mary Carmichael is discussed for having “broken the sentence, broken the sequence,” while an important scene features a Beadle telling the narrator to keep off the grass.

ANSWER: L’arc de Triomphe or the Arch of Triumph


17. Encapsulation can be accomplished by use of the opaque variety of this structure and segmentation faults are generally caused by access of a non-physical address by one. These explicitly allow manipulation of their contents, the namesake type of arithmetic. Iterators are an extension of these that are subject, usually, to postfix operators and a simple singly linked list object contains variable storage and one of these to the same type of object. As these do not contain literals but only the location of literals, they must be dereferenced before use, which is accomplished in C++ by the star operator. FTP, name these types of references that hold the memory address of something of interest, rather than the thing itself.

ANSWER: pointers


18. According to his ideas, human children gravitated towards material exercises rather than study and “Celadony” was the most sublime love a human could feel. He argued that the passions were “untamed tigers” and that there were twelve common types that identified every human being.

FTP, identify this picture depicting a tumultuous water spout, raging sharks, and a seemingly stoic black man awaiting his demise; a painting of a boat drifting along the titular ocean current by Winslow Homer.

ANSWER: The Gulf Stream


20. His Essay on the Unreal Dwelling focused on the artist’s relationship to nature. Shriveled Chestnuts was collaboration with disciples while Winter Sun saw his emergence as a more lyrical poet. It is in travelogues like The Records of a Travel Worn Satchel and The Narrow Road to the Deep North where critics see his later life turning away from the style of sabi, or loneliness to karumi, or lightness; a concept that would dominate the short meditative form he made so prominent. FTP, identify this author named for the banana plant hut he once lived in; a master of the Haiku form.

ANSWER: Matsuo Basho


21. A lemma due to this person claims that all mathematical propositions are either trivial or unproven. This thinker’s namesake point is the seven hundred twenty-sixth digit of pi. Wheeler supervised this scientist’s thesis, A New Approach to Quantum Theory, in which the novelty is application of Hamilton’s principle; this led to an analogue of Lagrangian mechanics; this physicist’s namesake formulation of QM. Leighton and Sands co-authored his namesake Lectures on Physics. He formulated QED, which employs his namesake diagrams, and defined a namesake path integral. FTP, name this idiosyncratic Caltech professor who served as youngest division head for the Manhattan Project, enjoyed strip clubs, and played the bongos.
