These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-03-10,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I did not write these rounds.
** Game 8, Round 9 - Leisure - Games
Please see the 2-page handout at
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/o8/9/boardpix.pdf
(Eskimo was having some trouble today, but I think this page should
still be available. If not, please post a note -- I'll extend the
entry period if necessary -- and retry later.)
Given a number, identify the corresponding game. Since many editions
of most of these games exist, the one pictured may not be identical
to the one you've played. In some cases, only a component of the
game is pictured.
I've sorted the round in order of the handout. There were 8 decoys,
which are now interspersed with the others; answer them if you like
for fun, but for no points.
