These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-01-27,
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 did not write these rounds.

committed a sending-off offense?
5. Wilfred Laurier University's varsity athletic teams """have"""
a colorful adjective in their name. Give the complete name.
6. The Green Monster """is""" the name given to the left-field
wall of which ballpark? We want the name of the ballpark,
rather than the city or team.
7. You are watching the Indianapolis 500 auto race when you see
a white flag being waved. What does this signal mean?
8. An American roulette wheel has 38 numbers. Which two are
colored green?
9. In the board game "Clue", which suspect is associated with the
yellow token? We want the full name as used in the game.
10. Which colorfully named hockey team won their second and final
Stanley Cup in 1935?

Please refer to the handout at:

ahzore gjragl-fvk vf jung pvgl?
5. Name the gulf at F.
6. Name the body of water at H.
7. What is the name of the river at M?
8. Although the map seems to show the river at P as a short one

edge of the map and most of it """is""" in a third country.
What river is it?
9. Identify *any one* of the three bordering countries labeled A,
B, and C. All are former Soviet republics. You don't have to
say which one you're identifying.

Whichever of my teammates annotated this map with labels got way too
enthusiastic about it; or maybe the original base map had 45-50 city
dots on it and they didn't bother numbering all of them. Anyway,
I don't have a list of what all the other dots are, and I'm not
inclined to construct one. I will identify the unused *letters*:
G - South China Sea; H - Taiwan Strait; I and J - East China Sea;
L - Yellow River; N - Zhujiang or Pearl River.
Scores, if there are no errors:
