| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): May 06 08:14PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-01-23, 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 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 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*)". * Game 2, Round 2 - Canadiana Entertainment - "SCTV" A few questions about the classic Canadian TV show "SCTV" that launched the successful careers of all its stars. 1. What was the name of the fictional town where the fictional SCTV broadcast from? 2. Hosers Bob and Doug McKenzie hosted what show? 3. Which actor portrayed "Human Sexual Response" host Dr. Cheryl Kinsey? 4. Who played talk show host Sammy Maudlin? 5. What was the name of the promiscuous, boa-wearing entertainer portrayed by Catherine O'Hara? Full name, please. 6.

Given the athletes' names, tell us the sport or event/discipline. Rather than telling people what type of answer is desired, in this medium I'll just say that you should *always answer with an event or discipline if it makes sense to do so*. If only the sport is wanted and you have the right sport, your answer will be considered correct; but if an event or discipline is wanted and you only give the sport, you will be ruled wrong (insufficiently specific). Answers do not repeat. 1. Carl Pettersson, Thomas Bjørn, Thorbjorn Olesen, Henrik Stenson, David Lingmerth. 2. Gustavo Kuerten, Guillermo Vilas, David Nalbandian, Nick Kyrgios. 3. Horst Bulau, Matti Nykänen, Michael "Eddie" Edwards, Vinko Bogataj. 4. Luca Cereda, Jeff Ware, Kenny Jonsson, Scott Pearson. 5. Lisa Leslie, Lauren Jackson, Diana Taurasi, Rebecca Lobo. 6. Jill Officer, Kevin Martin, Brad Jacobs, Jennifer Jones. 7. Mika Häkkinen, Jolyon Palmer, Max Verstappen, Valtteri Bottas. 8. Bill Rodgers, Frank Shorter, Paula Radcliffe, Jerome Drayton. 9.
