| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 14 12:33PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04, and should be interpreted accordingly. (Sorry about the delay in posting them; it took a while for the questions to be gotten to me in writing.) 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. All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". This set is running concurrently with questions from Round 7, and later with Round 8, of the preceding season. ** Final, Current Events * Miscellaneous 1. A popular animal, Samson, has died at the Toronto Zoo at the age of 43. What type of animal was he? 2.

Who was the only Toronto city councillor to vote against a bylaw to protect tenants against unscrupulous landlords last week? His past ideas have included a call for legal brothels on Toronto Island. 8. Police in Ottawa have been told by their chief not to wear which specific item on duty? These items were made in support of Constable Dan Montsion, charged in 2016 with the beating death of Abdirahman Abdi. 9.

And the Current Events game for the recently-ended season is over, and the winner is PETE GAYDE by a margin of 17 points. Hearty congratulations, Pete! As I have a sufficient backlog of QFTCI5EP questions on ordinary rounds to last through the coming season, I won't be asking Footloose and Firkin Free to provide their questions; hence QFTCI Current Events will now go on hiatus, presumably to resume in September with questions written by Smith & Guessin'. > ** Final, Current Events Obviously, I meant to say "Final, Round 1" there.
