These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-03-28,
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. For further information see
my 2011-09-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 10, Round 7 - Dickens by Character
Charles Dickens created numerous distinct -- and marvelously named --
characters in his novels. On each question we will read you the
names of several major characters in one of his books, and you give
the title. Of course, we will not mention any characters whose name,
or part of it, appears *in* the title.
1. Sam Weller; Nathaniel Winkle; Alfred Jingle; the Wardle
family.
2. Wackford Squeers; Newman Noggs; Madeleine Bray; Vincent
Crummles.
3. Fagin; Bill Sikes; Jack Dawkins, or the Artful Dodger;
Bumble; Nancy.
4. Jacob Marley; Bob Cratchit; Tiny Tim; Fred.
5. The Garland family; little Nell or Nellie Trent; Daniel Quilp;
Dick Swiveller.
6. Edward Murdstone; Wilkins Micawber; Miss Betsey Trotwood;
Uriah Heep; Daniel Peggotty.
7. Lady Dedlock; Esther Summerson; John Jarndyce; Ada Clare;
Richard Carstone.
8. Arthur Clennam; his mother, Mrs. Clennam Rigaud, or Blandois,
or Lagnier; the Barnacles family; Jeremiah Flintwinch.
9. Charles Darnay; Sydney Carton; Lucie Manette; Madame Defarge.

top, which means that the "north" of the street grid is somewhere
between 11 and 12 o'clock. The scale varies considerably from
one picture to another, but you should be able to get a good idea
of it by looking at the cars and the traffic lanes.
For the first part of the round, we describe the location in terms
of main streets, and you name the picture.
1. Bloor St., Dundas St., and Kipling Av.
2. King St., Queen St., The Queensway, and Roncesvalles
("ronce's vails") Av.

4. Bloor and Parliament Sts.
5. Yonge St., Church St., and Davenport Rd.
6. Bathurst St., Fleet St., and Lake Shore Blvd.
7. Which picture shows one end of Avenue Rd.?
For the last three questions, please decode the rot13 *one question
at a time*, after completing all earlier questions.

Nale: Sabine, find us a lair, somewhere we can hole up for 2 to 3 weeks.
Someplace where no one will notice a teenage schoolgirl bound and gagged.
Sabine: I'll start near the hentai bookstore and work my way out.

H. All four streets terminate at the intersection.
Historical note: before the Gardiner Expressway was built,
Lake Shore Rd. *also* ran to this corner, making a 5-way
intersection with streetcar tracks on all the streets:
https://gencat4.eloquent-systems.com/webcat/systems/toronto.arch/resource/fo1244/f1244_it0111.jpg
This view is looking SW onto Lake Shore, and if the date is correct
it's interesting, because the intersection had to be reconstructed
about 1921 with the tracks set farther apart for new, wider
streetcars, so all the trackwork you see being built then had to
be redone. What is now the eastern end of the Queensway was then
part of Queen, by the way, so there still weren't 5 different street
names even in those days.
