These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-01-23,
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 5 Easy Pieces 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

1951. Although then it was only the Coal and Steel Union. It was transformed
to become the European (Economic) Community in 1957. The European Union
moniker came in 1992, if memory serves.

In the original game they didn't include the proviso that one of the
titles referred to a screen version. "Creepshow" is not the title
of a novel or short story by King, but is the title of a movie that
includes portions adpted from his stories.

The earliest predecessor of the EU was the European Coal and Steel
Community, formed in 1952. The European Economic Community followed
in 1958; this was renamed the European Community at the same time
the EU was formed, and was later absorbed into the EU.

Oh, I forgot. Left-hand side and right-hand side are usually only called that if the cue-ball is going to hit another ball before the cushion. If the cue-ball is going hit the cushion, they're called "check side" or "running side" depending on whether the spin is intended to decrease or increase the angle of reflection...
