These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-03-19,
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 wrote one of these rounds.

1. Within one country -- which means you can *either* give the
correct answer or any adjacent country -- which number is Ghana?
2. Within one country, which number is Liberia?
3. Zambia and Zimbabwe are adjacent countries -- you may remember
from Game 7 that for further alliteration they share the Zambezi

give the number for *either one*.

for *either one*.
