These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-09-28,
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 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 2, Round 4 - Science - It's a Doggy-Dog World
1. The affenpinscher, a small breed of German origin, comes first
on the alphabetical list of breeds recognized by the Canadian
Kennel Club. Which breed comes *last*?
2. Which breed is known as the barkless dog of central Africa?
3. Another African breed, it was developed by Cornelius Van
Rooyen to hunt lions. Its name is geographically anachronistic,
as it mentions a country which has either disappeared or been
renamed. Name the breed.
4. What breed is Snoopy of "Peanuts" fame?
5. What breed is the Obamas' dog, Bo?
6. This breed, favoured by the Queen, comes in two strains both
named after Welsh counties: one current county and one former
county. Name *either one of those counties*.
7. This breed was developed by a German tax collector and is well
known as an intelligent, alert, and tenaciously loyal companion
and guard dog. What was the tax collector's name?
8. Small white working terriers were first bred by an English
parson and hunting enthusiast born in 1795. What was his name?
9. This breed, once called the "Little River duck dog", was
developed in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. What is the full name used
by the Canadian Kennel Club?
10. Another Canadian breed, this large gentle dog excels at water
rescue and have unusual webbed feet. What is its name?
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: ba gur svsgu

* Game 2, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - Colorful Before and After
A "before and after" consists of two names or phrases where the
last word of the first one is the first word of the second, and
is only given once. Sometimes a compound word may be treated as
two separate words to make the construction possible: for example,
"waterfall" might combine with "fall colors" to make "waterfall
colors" (or "water fall colors").
In this round, the common word (where the phrases overlap) *will
always be a color*. To make it a bit trickier (and for humor
value), we will word the questions as if they are talking about
just one person or thing.
For example, suppose we said: "The agent from the TV show
'Entourage' is the person standing highest on an Olympic podium".
Well, the agent from "Entourage" would be Ari Gold, and the gold
medalist stands highest, so the answer you'd have to give would be
"Ari Gold medalist".
You must give *all words* of the "before and after".
1. Candice Bergen title character who tastes so good, just like
a young girl should, according to the Rolling Stones.
2. She played Rose on "The Golden Girls" and lives at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC.
3. Father of Leif Erikson with the nickname "the Galloping Ghost".
4. Donovan sang about a relaxed form of marine transport that the
Beatles thought we all live in.
6. The IBM program that won a game against Gary Kasparov, while
also playing a Carl Perkins song.
6. He starred in "High Fidelity", "Kung Fu Panda", and "School of
Rock", and in Las Vegas he is also known as 21.
7. A herbicide used in the Vietnam War that was turned into a
Netflix original series.
8. "Smoke on the Water" was a song by this band that appeared on
a 1984 album by Prince.
9. Fictional character from "Treasure Island" that is the only
thing that can kill a werewolf.
10. It is people, according to a 1973 Charlton Heston movie
about the football team that won the first two Super Bowls.

Soylent Green Bay Packers. Given that "all words" had been required,
