| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jul 01 09:33PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-23, 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 (from the first posting). All questions were written by members of MI5, and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2015-02-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 10, Round 7 - Science - True Blood 1.

Well, Stephen has made the round count for everyone. See http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-4/unedited.jpg for the original photos. > 1. Cross street is Bloor St. W.

Cross street is Sheppard St., which is one block west of Bay St. Toronto Financial District. I accepted "Financial District". 4 for Stephen. > 10. Cross street is Parliament St. Old Town Toronto; the Distillery District. (As you see, it's a double designation. Either "Old Town" or "Distillery" was sufficient.) 4 for Stephen. > There were 2 decoys. Answer them if you like for fun, but for no points. > 11. Cross street is Queen St. W. Village of Parkdale.

Three entrants (Stephen, Bruce, and Marc) correctly guessed that the question was supposed to read "Fit" -- I wonder whether it was an oddball typo or a joke that slipped in -- and gave the intended answer "Honda". One other entrant (Dan Blum) gave that answer without comment. Still, the best thing seems to be to discard this question: no points for anyone. Sorry about not noticing the error. > 6. Volt. General Motors (accepting Chevrolet, the division). 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Stephen, Erland, Bruce, Marc, and Dan Tilque. > 7. Silver Ghost.
