| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 27 10:36PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-11, 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. All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe, 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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 4, Round 4 - Sports - Conn Smythe Trophy Winners The National Hockey League's Conn Smythe Trophy is presented each year to the most valuable player for his team *in the playoffs*. 1.

Between them, hockey legends Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr have won a total of how many Conn Smythe awards? 5.
