These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-10-24,
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 Misplaced Modifiers
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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 5, Round 7 - Entertainment - TV Workplaces
We give you the name of the workplace, or the main setting of the
principal characters, in a popular TV show. You name the show.
For example, we say "the 4077th MASH" and you say "M*A*S*H". Or,
perhaps more likely, we say "Seattle Grace--Mercy West Hospital"
and you say "Grey's Anatomy".
*Note*: The name of the workplace may have changed during the run
of the show. We'll generally provide only one name.
1. Sterling Cooper.
2. Lockhart Gardner.
3. William McKinley High School. There are three possible answers.
4. WJM-TV.
5. The California Institute of Technology ("Caltech").
6. The 99th Precinct.
7. The Stratford Inn.
8. Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
9. Dunder-Mifflin or Wernham-Hogg.
10. NBC.
* Game 5, Round 8 - Sports - Le Coq Sportif: French Athletes
In each case, name the person described.
1. This tennis star won 7 Grand Slam titles as one of the "Four
Musketeers" who dominated 1920s tennis. His nickname was
"The Crocodile".
2. Born in Montreal, this former tennis star is a citizen of France,
Canada, and the US. A 4-time grand slam winner in both singles
and doubles, she won the 1995 Australian and the 2000 French
Open singles championships. She retired in 2008.
3. Retired soccer forward, the all-time record goal scorer for
Arsenal of the Premier League, spent the final couple of years of
his career playing for New York of MLS. Involved in a hand-ball
controversy in 2010 when his illegal goal resulted in Ireland
missing out on the World Cup.
4. One of France's most illustrious soccer stars, this Algerian-born
midfielder played for Juventus and Real Madrid among other
teams, and led France to victory in the 1998 World Cup.
He still gives Marco Materazzi a headache.
5. This center played for the Chicago Bulls from 2007 to 2016
and has signed with the New York Knicks for the current season.
Born in New York, he is a French citizen through his father,
a former top tennis star.
6. A 4-time Formula 1 driving champion (1985, '86, '89, '93), his
nickname is "The Professor". After retiring as a driver,
he bought his own team in 1997 and named it after himself.
The team had some good results, but was disbanded in 2002,
$30,000,000 in debt.
7. A World Cup downhill skier who dominated the sport in the 1960s,
he was a triple Olympic champion, winning all three alpine
events at the 1968 winter games.
8. Nicknamed "Le Roi", this midfielder captained the French
team in the 1982 World Cup and the '84 European Championships.
His brilliant playmaking continued in retirement as he dribbled
his way to the presidency of UEFA and a run for the head of FIFA.
He is currently under suspension and investigation by that body.
9. A French-American figure skater, she is a 3-time world silver
medalist and 5-time European champion. She is the only figure
skater to land a backflip on one skate blade in competition,
an illegal move she completed at the 1998 Winter Games.
10. A 2-time Olympic bronze medalist (1994 and 1998) and a 2-time
world medalist, this skater's signature move, illegal in amateur
competition, is a spin followed by a drop to his knees.

Nah, it was Zidane that got the headache. Oh, Matterazi! How boring that
tournament would have been if Alessandro Nesta had not been wounded!
(Because in that case Matterazzie would have had to stay on the bench.)

Backflips had been banned in competition for about 20 years, but she
was out of medal contention and decided to do one anyway; a penalty
was applied against her score. They were subsequently banned in
practice sessions as well, as it was said she was intimidating other
skaters by doing them.
