11. A one-line BASIC program for drawing one of these things is often referred to as “10 PRINT.” In the interactive fiction game Colossal Cave Adventure, two of these things are distinguished by whether certain components are “all alike” or “all different.” In Ursula Le Guin’s Tombs of Atuan, Tenar traps Ged in one of these things. One of these things appears in the title of another novel in which the telepathic Teresa helps Thomas and the other Gladers escape from an experiment conducted by W.I.C.K.E.D., and an axe-wielding Jack Torrance chases Danny through one of these things made of plants at the end of Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining.

Concerns over who would be regent for a developmentally disabled ruler of this dynasty sparked the War of the Eight Princes. This dynasty’s Western period ended following the Wu Hu uprising, sometimes known as the Uprising of the Five Barbarians, which established the Sixteen Kingdoms. This dynasty’s Western Division was founded by Sima Yan, while its Eastern Division was founded by Sima Rui.

B. Yeats” and “Musée des Beaux Arts."
ANSWER: W(ystan) H(ugh) Auden
15. In Thomas Bernhard’s The Force of Habit, the circus ringmaster Garibaldi has spent 22 years rehearsing this work. Its 2nd movement is an andante in 3/4 time in F major that shifts to F-sharp minor and D major plus G major as its 3 thematic elements, then transitions to A-flat major, A minor, and F major. That movement of this work is followed by a scherzo in this work’s principle key, while its 4th movement is an andantino in the subdominant D major.

17. The Irwin-Hall distribution is the sum of independent random variables with this distribution. The German Tank Problem seeks to estimate the maximum value for a discrete form of this distribution from sampling without replacement. The variance of a random variable with the continuous form of this distribution is the quantity b minus a times 2 over 12 for bounds a less than b, while its cumulative distribution function is the quantity x minus a over the quantity b minus a when x is between a and b. In computer science, pseudo-random number generation seeks to generate a value for a random variable with this distribution. For ten points, name this probability distribution in which every potential outcome occurs with equal probability.
ANSWER: uniform distribution
18. One character played by this man pitches his business with an advertisement that asks if you are a scientist or a chemistry professor, and then proceeds to peddle home furnishings.

19. One melody on this album caused its main performer to note that “the softer you play it, the stronger it gets.” A track on this album was inspired by the recording of a pig castrator whistling, while its final track is an “arrow of song” based on a folk piece about a woman witnessing a Holy Week procession. That song on this album includes an imitation of a Muslim muezzin performed by a solo trumpet and is titled “Saeta.” Later released on Directions, “Song of Our Country” was recorded during the sessions that also produced this album and, like “The Pan Piper” and “Solea,” was arranged by Gil Evans.
