These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-12-05,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

authors were "3001: The Final Odyssey"; "God Emperor of Dune",
"Heretics of Dune", and "Chapterhouse: Dune"; and "Foundation's Edge",
"Foundation and Earth", "Prelude to Foundation", and "Forward the
Foundation". The "Dune" and "Foundation" series were further extended
by new authors after the original ones died.
