It was this last cover that inspired the round, by the way. I have

the cover in WBB, I realized which novels he was the author of and
that he was dead, which I also didn't know.

Nobody tried these, not even the easy one.

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-01-17,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information see
my 2011-05-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 1, Round 9 - Athletes' Numbers
We'll give you the names of two athletes who wore the same number.
You tell us which number.
1. Guy Lafleur and Pelé.
2. Magic Johnson and O.J. Simpson.
3. Michael Jordan and Ryne Sandberg.
4. Hank Aaron and Jerry West.
5. Bobby Orr and Lou Gehrig.
6. Warren Moon and Johnny Bower.
7. Troy Aikman and Cal Ripken Jr.
8. Dale Earnhardt Sr. (okay, technically it's his car's number,
but he did wear it on his driver's suit) and Babe Ruth.
9. Patrick Roy ("rwah" -- or "roy", if you're Don Cherry)
and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
10. Ken Dryden and Eric Dickerson.
* Game 1, Round 10 - Challenge Round
This is the challenge round, and your categories are: Ace, King,
Queen, Jack, Ten, Strait.

"ace" after shooting down how many enemy planes?
A2. Which ace pilot are two Southern Ontario airports named
