These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-11-25,
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 Clueless, 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
2013-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
Congratulations in advance to Stephen Perry, who has already clinched
the win on this game. I'm afraid the rest of you are now competing
for second at best.

Bridge Too Far", "Misery", and "Elf".

answer on that slate, and was not sure that this would be the correct
answer for a Toronto pub, since this type of names are often localised.
It was not until the other day that I realised that there is a connection
between the name of the mascot and the brand itself.
And indeed, the name *is* localised. He is certainly not called "Rooster"
on the Swedish Corn Flakes packets, just "tuppen Cornelius", but I would
not count "tuppen" as part of the name.

If Jeff Turner had posted his answers on time, he would have scored
16 on Round 9 and either 12 or 16 on Round 10, depending on whether
"The Rooster" was intedend as a description or a surname.

(his *first* wife was Jewish, and they raised their children Jewish, his
current wife is Christian and they attend Saddleback Church):
Another source propagating the story is the 1994 song, "The Chanukah
Song", written and performed by entertainer Adam Sandler, in which he
lists famous Jews of the 20th century: "...O.J. Simpson... not a Jew!
But guess who is: Hall of Famer Rod Carew! He converted!". Carew later
wrote Sandler and explained the situation, adding that Carew thought
the song was "pretty funny". Sandler later deleted Carew from future
versions of the song, although the original version still gets the most
airplay. However Neil Diamond later mentioned the ballplayer in his
version of "The Chanukah Song".
