Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 16 updates in 4 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 02 05:41PM -0500

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on the dates
indicated below, and should be interpreted accordingly. If any
answers have changed due to newer news, you are still expected to
give the answers that were correct on that date.
 
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 original posting,
that is].
 
All questions were written by members of the Misplaced Modifiers
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 2016-05-31 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

The same guess was made in our game. As I said after the answer was
revealed, this guess was either the next thing to the correct answer
or else the opposite of it, depending on how you look at it.
