These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-09,
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 007, Round 9 - Entertainment - Bond Girls
Just before we move on to the challenge round, here's a round
that's actually about James Bond, or James Bond movies anyway.
I've rearranged the questions in order by picture number, and I'll
kindly present them in color although at the original game they were
black-and-white and some images came out too dark to see easily.

5. Chinese secret agent Wai Lin.
For #6-10, see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-9/007/2.jpg
6. Assassin May Day.
