These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on the dates
indicated, and should be interpreted accordingly. If any answers
have changed due to newer news, you are still expected to give
the answers that were correct on that date.
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 MI5 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 see my 2019-10-16 companion posting on
"Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
