These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-06,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 6, Round 4 - Literature - Chapter 2, Verse 2
6 years ago Smith & Guessin' presented a round called "Chapter &
Verse". Now, once again, we give the year and the titles of a few
of the chapters within a novel, or stories within a collection --
you name the book.
1. Published 1719. "Wrecked on a Desert Island", "Friday's
Education", "Visit of the Mutineers".
2. Published 1894. "Kaa's Hunting", "Tiger! Tiger!", "Shiv and
the Grasshopper".

"Fagin's Last Night Alive".
4. Published 1911. "The Shadow", "The Never-Bird", "Wendy's Story".
5. Published 1898. "The Eve of War", "The Heat Ray", "The Fighting

of a Witch", "Galinda".
* Game 7, Round 6 - Sports - Major League Soccer
With Toronto FC winning in the East semifinal yesterday, we thought
it would be good time to write a round on the history of the MLS.
1. Major League Soccer played its inaugural season in 1996 with
only 10 teams. Name *any* of the original ten teams. You must
give the full original name, like "Houston Colt .45s" rather
than "Houston Astros".
2. 2017 saw the addition of two new teams into the league.
Name either one.
3. Please decode the rot13 for this question only after you have
finshed with #1-2. Guvf zna vf pbafvqrerq ol znal gb or bar

4. A few weeks ago we asked you about the award for the top place
in the league in the regular season, known as the Supporters'
Shield. What is the trophy for *last* place known as?
5. Teams in the MLS also play in a North American Champions
League, pitting the top teams of the continent against each
other. What is the common abbreviation used for the *organizing
body* of soccer in North and Central America and the Caribbean?
The remaining questions are all about Toronto FC.
6. This player entered the league for Toronto in 2015, and would
lead the league in goals and assists and win the MLS MVP award
that year. Who is he?
7. In what year, exactly, did Toronto enter the league?
8. Toronto's mascot is called Bitchy, and is a real-life animal
used to scare away the seagulls. What type of animal is Bitchy?
9. The Inebriatti, the Kings in the North, the Original 109,
and the Red Patch Boys are all what, in relation to Toronto FC?
10. The "401 Derby" is a budding rivalry between Toronto FC and
this other MLS team. They played hotly contested matches
in both the previous two playoffs. What other team is this?
Full name required.

In the original game this was the easiest round, and it was tied
for second-easiest of the entire season with Game 3, Round 6, the
sports round on organizing bodies by acronym. The easiest round of
the whole season was Game 4, Round 8, on eponyms.
There was a 3-way tie for fourth-easiest: Game 1, Round 7, "A Date
with the Grim Reaper"; Game 3, Round 7, "Their Last Film Role";
and one that you haven't seen yet.

There used to be a team in the Canadian Inquisition called All Over

The fact that one of the pubs where we play is called the Artful
Dodger might have something to do with that.
