| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Dec 23 01:57AM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-02-17, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)". (Note: usually when doing QFTCI at this time of year I figure that people are busy with seasonal activities and allow an extra 2 days in the entry period. This time I'm assuming that those activities are mostly canceled, and staying with the usual 3 days.) I did not write these rounds. * Game 5, Round 4 - Sports - Rodeo 1.
