These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-10-26,
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 5, Round 7 - Miscellaneous - The 2015 "Forbes" Billionaires List
Here are some questions on the people that have the most serious
of bling.
1. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have been the most famous players
at the top of this list over the last several years, but this
Mexican telecom magnate was #1 from 2010 to 2014, dropping to
#2 in 2015. Name him.

Warren Buffett and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska?
3. Of the top 12 individuals on the list, 4 share what same

4. #4 on the list is Amancio Ortega, who heads Inditex. There are
hundreds of brands affiliated with this company, but you just

grown to over 2,100 stores worldwide that Ortega is famous for.
5. #5 on the list is Larry Ellison, who is the founder of this
company that primarily specializes in developing and marketing
computer hardware systems and enterprise software products --
particularly its own brands of database management systems.
Name the company.
6. Tied at #6 are two brothers, who are big supporters of the
Republican Party and whose major subsidiaries of their namesake
corporation are Georgia-Pacific and Molex. Give their last name.
7. The richest Canadian heads this company that was formed by the
purchase of a British-based news group in 2008 and is currently
part of the Woodbridge Holding Company. Name this major
multinational firm?
8. #13 is Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, a multinational
luxury-goods manufacturer. What does LVMH stand for?
Full expansion required.
9. Evan Spiegel, 25, is the youngest member of the list. He was
the co-founder of which video messaging application that allows
users to take photos, record videos, add text and drawings,

* Game 5, Round 8 - Canadiana History - Canadian Heritage Minutes
This is a round celebrating our history as told to us by those
Canadian Heritage Minutes. You know, "Heritage Minutes -- bite-size
bits of Canadian history for the uninformed."
1. In one Heritage Minute, French coureur-des-bois and explorer
Jean Nicolet thinks he's reached the Pacific Ocean. He's wrong.
He is however, the first European to reach... what body of water?
2. In one Heritage Minute we witness geologist and cartographer
Joseph Tyrrell making an important discovery that will eventually
lead to the establishment of the Royal Tyrrell Museum in
Drumheller, Alberta. What did Tyrrell discover?
3. Typecasting alert! What Oscar-nominated Canadian actor
portrays Native American Chief Sitting Bull in the Heritage
Minute memorializing Sitting Bull's seeking refuge in Canada
in 1877?
4. Other famous people sometimes appear in Heritage Minutes.
Pierce Brosnan can be seen in the Heritage Minute celebrating
the life of what famed early 20th century conservationist and
wilderness expert?
5. One Heritage Minute features a tense standoff on the Yukon/Alaska
border between a pistol-packing American and a North West Mounted
Police Superintendent who refuses to allow the angry American
to bring his guns into Canada. The man backs down, muttering,
"Why didn't ah shoot him?" Name the Mountie.
6. One Heritage Minute set in 1931 sees young Canadian comic-book
artist Joe Shuster being seen off at the train station by
a female friend, who remarks: "A hero in tights, really?
It'll never fly." What is the *first name* of this woman?
7. One Heritage Minute celebrates Dr. Wilder Penfield's important
discoveries in neuroscience. "Dr. Penfield, I can smell burnt
toast", announces a female patient. What medical condition
was the smell of burnt toast an early signal for?
8. In a Heritage Minute celebrating the taking of Juno Beach
on "D-Day" by Canadian soldiers, we see what pioneer in
multicultural Canadian radio broadcasting entertaining
the troops with a rendition of "I'll Never Smile Again"
on his trumpet?
9. One Heritage Minute celebrates the breaking of the color line
in baseball when in 1946 Jackie Robinson played for *what minor
league team* belonging to the Brooklyn Dodgers? City and team
name required.
10. Another Heritage Minute featuring noted Canadiens Toe Blake
and Jacques Plante celebrates the first-ever use of what now
ubiquitous piece of equipment?
