You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: One character in this novel retrieves a cross of cypress and a cross of copper from a drawer. This novel includes a policeman who drinks champagne in the Crystal Palace named Zametov. This novel's epilogue takes place in a prison hospital, where the protagonist ponders the suicide of Svidrigailov. Porfiry Petrovich investigates this novel's protagonist, who is loved by the prostitute Sonia Marmeladov and murders the pawnbroker Alyona Ivanovna. For 10 points, name this novel centering on the murderous Raskolnikov, written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

SOLUTION: Literature

PROBLEM: In this novel, the protagonist's wife is raped by Phil Connor, and the protagonist's final job in this novel is at Tommy Hind's hotel. Mike Scully's War-Whoop League provides political favor to impoverished workers in this novel. This novel begins with the traditional Lithuanian Veselija wedding feast in which Ona and the protagonist, Jurgis Rudkus, are married in Packingtown. For 10 points, name this novel by Upton Sinclair that graphically described Chicago's meat industry.

SOLUTION: Literature

PROBLEM: BakTangWiesenfeld sandpile model of self-organized criticality has been used to study a spin-1 version of this model and applications of this have been used to study the cooperative phenomena of ligand-gated ion channels. The use of Monte Carlo methods in the application of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm can be used to find numerical solutions for it. Because the basic Kuratowskian of it is NP-complete, Istrail showed that no analytical solution to it can be extended to three dimensions. It relies on a nearest neighbor strategy wherein the coupling interactions contribute to the overall Hamiltonian of the system where the sum is taken over all pairs of neighbors. A generalization of this, useful in studying phase transitions is known as the Askin-Teller or Potts model and this model for a two dimensional square lattice with no magnetic field was analytically solved by Onsager. For 10 points, name this eponymous mathematical model that is capable of describing various phenomena notably ferromagnetism.

SOLUTION:
Science
