| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Oct 23 07:30AM These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-09-25, 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 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 the Usual Suspects and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
