| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 02 12:52AM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-10-19, 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 to the newsgroup in a single followup, 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 the Bloor St. Irregulars, 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 9 - Literature - Titles in Other Words We'll paraphrase the title of a book using synonmys; you simply give the real title. Note: all of these are books for children or young adults. Paraphrases may not use the same sense of a word as seen in the actual title. For example, if we said "Small Scoring Area in Curling Located on the Grassland", the answer would be "Little House on the Prairie". 1. "Chuck and the Confectionery-Manufacturing Plant". 2. "The Arctic Non-Stop". 3. "The Classified Backyard". 4. "The Unattractive Hatchling". 5. "Tiny Females". 6. "The Considerably Famished Larva". 7. "The Location of the Untamed Figures' Existence". 8.
