These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-12-08,
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*)".
** Final, Round 6 - Sports
* Before & After
For each question we'll show you pictures of two figures from the
world of sports -- where the last name of the first one is the same
as the first name of the second. You combine the names by omitting
the repetition, and give us the 3-word result. For example, if we
were basing this on people on American money instead of sports, then
you might expect the answer Benjamin Franklin Roosevelt to come up.

* Olympic Cities
In each case, name *either* the year *or* the host city of the
Olympic Games. These are all summer games.
4. For the first time, a city hosts a second Olympic Games; Paavo
Nurmi wins 5 gold medals.
5. The first Olympic Games held in the Southern Hemisphere;
Hungary and the USSR literally fight it out for gold in
water polo.
6. Held at the highest altitude of all Summer Olympics to date;
Bob Beamon and Dick Fosbury soar in the long and high jumps,
respectively.
* Super Bowl Madness
In each case, name *either* of the teams that played in the relevant
Super Bowl.
7. The only game *ever* in American professional football to finish
with a score of 43-8.
8. Janet Jackson has a "wardrobe malfunction"... allegedly.
9. Nicknamed the "Blackout Bowl" after the lights in the Superdome
go out early in the third quarter.
* Professional Wrestlers
We give the birth name of a wrestler and an additional clue;
you have his professional name.
10. Michael ("Mick") Foley -- the 11th word of a famous quote
uttered at 02:56 Greenwich Mean Time, 1969-07-21.
11. Mark William Calaway -- John was the minister; Paul, the corpse;
George, the gravedigger; and Ringo was...
12. Dwayne Johnson -- Al Capone called it home from 1934 to 1939.
* Texas Hold'Em Hands
In Texas Hold'Em poker, each player receives two cards. Each 2-card
combination has a variety of nicknames. For example, if you have
a pair of cards with the nickname "Kuwait", you would have Q-8.
Another example: if you had "Jack Bauer", the answer would be 2-4.
So what 2-card hands are these?
13. Crosby.
14. Dolly Parton.
15. Flat Tire.

Paris, 1924. 4 for Dan Blum, Erland, Stephen, Calvin, and Pete.
The first Paris Olympics were in 1900, although the games were
simultaneously part of the world's fair held there that year, and
the designation as Olympic games was retroactive. London was a
popular wrong answer, but their second Olympics were not until 1948.

A team score of 8 for a game is rare in American football because

Armstrong reviewed the audio recording in 1999 and agreed that he
