These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-04-27,
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 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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 7 - Arts & Literature - Comic Books

The remaining questions ask about *current* alter egos of

9. ...Hawkeye?
10. ...the Thing?
* Game 2, Round 8 - Science - Scientists and their Passports

cover the fact that Tesla was born in Croatia, but ethnically was Serb.
But in such case they should have asked for ethnicity, not "nationality
at birth" which would have to be the state to which his birthplace
belonged at the time, which is Austria. And not Hungary or Austria-Hungary.
The double monarchy was not established at his birth.
I knew he was Serbian, and sort of assumed that he was born in Belgrade,
in which case the nationality of birth would have been Ottoman Empire,
although, Serbia at the time had a level of autonomy.

True. What I wanted say was that "nationality at birth" would refer to

the country of which he originally was a citizen. Not that this distinction
seems to matter in Tesla's case. In any case the answer seems to be
"Austrian" and not "Serbian", if that is what the quiz masters intended.
But it is certainly not clearcut, and it will be interesting to see
what the ruling will be - and what it was in the original quiz.

His birthplace is now in Croatia. As to nationality at birth,
I'm annoyed to find out that Erland's pre-complaint that this is
not clearly defined is valid -- at the time different groups within
the Austrian empire were declaring themselves to be "nations" and
demanding rights accordingly, so it depends on whether one accepts
their position. The originally expected answer was Serbian, but I'm
also accepting Austrian (but not "Austro-Hungarian"; that came later,
after the Austrians accepted the national claims from Hungary).
Only nobody gave either answer anyway. Those who got it right all
named the present-day country. So it's:
4 for Stephen and Marc. 3 for Joshua.

Having said that limiting ourselves to Sector 2814 we also have Guy Gardner as current GL and probably John Stewart (wasn't the last Inquisition about him?). Add in the rest of the Galaxy and we've got 3599 others to pick from. (My favourites were Kilowog and that one who looked like a squirrel).
