These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-11,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 4, Round 7 - Geography - Scotland
Please see the map at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/4-7/scot.pdf
And give us the numbers corresponding to these villages, towns,
and cities:
1. Stornoway.
2. Inverness.
3. Stromness.
4. Kirkwall.
5. Glasgow.
6. Dundee.
7. Aberdeen.
8. Edinburgh.
9. Fort William.
10. Port of Ness.
So there were 10 decoys, whose names were not given in the original
game. Comparing the handout to Google Maps, I see that some of
them are quite small places, but here they are. Decode the rot13
if you want to try them for fun, but for no points.
11. Qhearff.
12. Nle.
13. Yrejvpx.
14. Crgreurnq.
15. Arj Noorl.
16. Oenr.
17. Jvpx.
18. Yrvevazber.
19. Ybazber.
20. Svfugbja bs Hfna.
* Game 4, Round 8 - Canadiana Geography - Toronto Subway/RT Stops
As you know, the Toronto subway and RT system consists of:
Line 1: Yonge-University (Spadina was dropped from the name)
Line 2: Bloor-Danforth
Line 3: Scarborough RT
Line 4: Sheppard
In each case, simply name the station between the two that we
give you.
1. Rosedale, St. Clair (Line 1).
2. Sherbourne, Broadview (Line 2).
3. Ossington, Bathurst (Line 2).
4. St. Patrick, St. Andrew (Line 1).
5. Lawrence West, Eglinton West (Line 1).

7. Bayview, Leslie (Line 4).
8. Woodbine, Victoria Park (Line 2).
9. Jane, High Park (Line 2).
10. Sheppard-Yonge, Finch (Line 1).
After you have finished the round, please decode the rot13:

This was the easiest round in the original game and the fifth-easiest
of the entire season -- but nobody in the newsgroup even tried it, so
for our purposes here, it never happened and this game will be scored
on your best 5 of the other 7 rounds.
You folks really need to visit Toronto more often, though! :-)

Main Street ("Main" was sufficient).
Apparently the TTC put "Street" explicitly in the station name,
unlike all others in Toronto, because they thought "main" might be
