Ten questions with numeric answers, and not one of them is 42 - the ultimate

I had high hopes of getting 3 for the Round.

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-01-24,
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 2, Round 2 - US Presidents

On each question, we'll tell you a fact and then make a quip.
And you name the US president indicated. Of course, if there was
another president with the same surname then you need to make it
clear which one you mean.

1. He vomited and fainted face-first into the lap of the Japanese
prime minister. Perhaps they served him broccoli?

2. He played center for the University of Michigan football team.
Apparently his clumsy phase came later in life.

3. He personally hanged two criminals in Buffalo when he
served as Erie County Sheriff. In those days, when they
said "declare all food and plants upon entry to the US",
they were dead serious.

4. His grandpa William was the ninth president. So before you
pooh-pooh the idea of President Jenna Bush... there is
precedent.

5. His favorite candy was Jelly Belly jelly beans. We could
tell you the exact flavor, but then a Secret Service agent
would have to kill you.

6. He was a submariner, so the US Navy later named an attack
sub in his honor. Better than a dinghy, but they couldn't
have splurged on an aircraft carrier?

7. His nickname was "Big Bill". And no, we aren't talking
about Bubba before his Jenny Craig stint.

8. He was the youngest president to take office. We have no
idea whether he swore the presidential oath on his teddy bear.

9. His home is known as the Hermitage. Although it has several
nice paintings, it's in Tennessee, not Russia.

10. According to the "All in the Family" theme song, we could
use a man like this president again -- because we all long
for a return to the good old days of the Great Depression.


* Game 2, Round 3 - One Street Ends, Another Begins

This week's Canadiana round is about places in Toronto's street
system where you seem to be continuing along the same street,
but its name changes to something else. Most of these are at
intersections, but not all.

Note: On some questions the correct "suffix" of the street name
(i.e. St., Av., Rd., etc.) is required as part of the answer.
On other questions it isn't. Always include such a suffix with
your answer; if it isn't needed, I'll just ignore it and you don't
need to have it right.

1. For many years Kingston Rd. ended at Queen St., but the layout
of the intersection changed quite a while ago. These days you
can continue across Queen with a shift of direction near the
intersection, and the name of Kingston Rd. changes to what?

2. When Avenue Rd. crosses Bloor St. southbound, what does
it become?

3. When College St. crosses Yonge St., what does it become?

4. Dufferin St. includes a number of separate sections. If you
follow the section of Dufferin running south across Finch Av.,
what does it turn into before reaching Sheppard Av.?

5. When York Mills Rd. crosses Yonge, what does it become?

6. Keele St. is also divided into multiple sections. If you
start on the section of Keele between Bloor and St. Clair
and go north, it turns into one street; if you go south,
it turns into another. Name either one.

7. What does Spadina Av. become if you cross Bloor northbound?

8. If you cross Lawrence Av. southbound on McCowan Rd., it turns
into what street, which then changes direction by about 45°?

9. At what cross street does Queen St. turn into The Queensway?

10. If you cross Yonge eastbound on Davenport Rd., it turns
into what street, which then changes direction?
