These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-07-16,

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 2021-07-20
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

In the original game, this was tied with Round 8 (Canadian character
actors) as the easiest round and, if current-events rounds are
ignored, as two of four rounds tied for third-easiest in the entire
season. (The other two were: Game 8, Round 3 - Name the Artwork -
and Game 7, Round 3 - Dickens Characters.)
