Question: The central character, a resident of the San Bernadino Arms, falls in with such characters as Harry, a purveyor of homemade silver polish, and Miguel, a Mexican breeder of fighting cocks. There's also Abe Kusich, a dwarf horse player, and Earle Stroop, an unsuccessful cowboy actor. This novel famously ends with a riot at the Persian Palace during which Homer Simpson likely dies and the protagonist Tod Hackett, barely escapes. FTP, name this short novel by Nathaniel West.

Answer: Literature

Question: The oxidation of one of these compounds with a Jones reagent yields carboxylic acid, and they are the product of the reaction of a ketone with a Grignard reagent. Esters are formed via a reaction of carboxylic acid and this compound in a process named for Fischer. Consisting of a hydroxyl group bonded to a carbon atom, they are given the formula R-OH. For 10 points, name this class of compounds exemplified by methanol and ethanol, the latter of which is found in hand sanitizer and beer.

Answer: Science

Question: Schrodinger-Pauli equation sees this quantity multiplied by charge and subtracted from the momentum three vector. An electron's interference pattern changes when a solenoid turns on despite the fact that the magnetic field outside of the solenoid is zero because of this quantity. For a non-conservative electric field, the electric field is equal to the negative gradient of the electric potential minus the time derivative of this quantity. In addition to causing the Aharonov-Bohm effect, this quantity is combined with the electric potential to form the 4-potential. This quantity's divergence is set to zero in the Coulomb gauge. For 10 points, magnetic field is defined as the curl of this quantity that is symbolized A.
