These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2020-01-27,
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 MI5 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 2019-10-16
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 3, Round 2 - History - The One Before the One Before
We'll ask you to name a person who held a noteworthy position --
not the current office holder, not the one before the current office
holder, but the one before that. Where applicable, be unambiguous
-- give name and number, middle initials, etc. as needed.
1. President of the United States.
2. Prime Minister of Canada.
3. Mayor of Toronto.
4. President of France.
5. Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of Canada.
6. Premier of Alberta.
7. Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
8. Pope.
9. Chancellor of Germany.
10. Crowned monarch of the United Kingdom. (Where "crowned" means
that they had a coronation.)
* Game 3, Round 3 - Geography - Endonyms, or When in Rome, Call It Italia
An endonym is the name for a place in the language of the people
who live there. We give you the country's endonym and you give us
the name of that country in English, that is, its English exonym.
For example, if we said Deutschland, you would answer Germany.
For countries with multiple languages we will give only one name.
1. Österreich.
2. Suomi.
3. Magyarország.
4. Al-Yaman.
5. Nippon.
6. Sverige.
7. Norge.
8. Hellas.
9. Éire.
10. Schweiz.
