These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-20,
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*)".

3. #27, from 1985.

5. #31, from 1977.

a lot of promise."

* "Lesson #2: Don't get high on your own supply."
8. #9, from 1982.

Time to die."

these questions three, ere the other side he see!"

10. #54, from 1987.

* "They were both poisoned. I've spent the last few years
building up an immunity to iocane powder."
* Game 9, Round 8 - Miscellaneous - Words from Below Sea Level
About 1% of all English words are of Dutch origin. In each case,
we'll give the definition and/or the etymology of one of them, and
you provide the word as commonly used in English.
1. South African anteater, named for the Cape Dutch words for
"earth" and "pig".
2. From the Dutch word for an adventurer who pillages and plunders.
3. From the Dutch word "verlof" or permission to leave.
4. From the Dutch words for "snack" and "bag".
5. From the Dutch word for "froth" or "foam", it refers to the
lowest class of humanity.
6. From the Dutch word for "donkey" as used in "painter's donkey"
-- a common reference to a painter's implement.
7. From the Dutch word for a ghostly image or appearance.
8. From the Dutch and Afrikaans word for a trail or track.
9. From the Dutch and Afrikaans word for a wild animal, used to
describe a certain herd animal of the savannah.
10. Neighborhood in New York that got its name from the Dutch for
