These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-11-14,
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 the Misplaced Modifiers
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*)".
As this is posted, QFTCI5EP current-events Rounds 5 and 6 are
running concurrently.
* Game 8, Round 7 - Entertainment - Archie Comics
Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/8-7/ar/chie.pdf
I've rearranged the questions in order by pictures. This time
questions were actually supplied for the two decoys, so I've
included these in the round and you can answer if you like for
fun, but for no points.
1. Picture A. In September 2010 a new character, Kevin Keller,
is introduced in the series. Why does this handsome army brat
not want to date Veronica, when she is clearly interested?
2. Picture B (decoy). Historically, what was the name of the
*headgear* in this picture?
3. Picture C. What is the name of the *animal* in the car?
4. Picture D. What is the family name of these people?
5. Picture E. Archie's chief rival for the attention of Veronica
is the magnificent specimen seen here on the ground. He is
vain, sarcastic, duplicitous, athletic, and rich -- and what
is his name?
6. Picture F. What is the name of this prized athlete, who often
needs tutoring from Archie and the gang to keep his grades high
enough for participation on the school teams?
7. Picture G (decoy). What is the name of the *car* in the picture?
8. Picture H. Name the man in this picture.
9. Picture I. This picture is from the first issue ever of "Archie"
comics. Within 5 years, what anniversary is celebrated this
year?
10. Picture J. In what establishment do we see these people?
After answering this question, please decode the rot13: vs
jung lbh jebgr bayl vqragvsvrq gur cebcevrgbe, jr arrq zber;
nqq gur erfg.
11. Picture K. What is the name of this girl band, first introduced
in "Archie's Pals 'n Gals" in its winter 1962/63 issue?
12. Picture L. What is the name of this school?
* Game 8, Round 8 - History - Second-Place Politicians
The great race-car driver Bobby Unser once said, "Nobody remembers
who finished second but the guy who finished second". Does that
also hold true for politics? Let's find out. Given the year,
the political contest, and the victor of that contest, you name
the second-place finisher.
1. 2008 US Presidential election: Barack Obama won. Who came
second?
2. 2003 Toronto mayoral election: David Miller won.
3. 1983 federal Progressive Conservative leadership contest:
Brian Mulroney won.
4. 2015 Ontario provincial Progressive Conservative leadership
contest: Patrick Brown won.
5. 1996 US presidential election: Bill Clinton won.
6. 1948 US Presidential Election: Harry Truman won.
7. 2006 federal Liberal Party leadership contest: Stéphane Dion won.
8. 2004 Conservative Party leadership election: Stephen Harper
won over this "Conservative" candidate.
9. 2000 Toronto mayoral election: Mel Lastman won with 80% of the
vote. Which now-deceased environmental activist came second?
10. 1964 US Presidential election: Lyndon Johnson won, over this
candidate that many are comparing to Donald Trump.

When constructing the handout, the Mods masked the answer out of
the main title at the top of the cover, but they missed noticing
that the image includes the spine of the comic, with the full title
repeated there. I could have removed it, but I thought it'd more
fun to leave the giveaway in place and see how many people missed it:
at least Erland, Calvin, and Dan Tilque did.

John McCain. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Pete, Erland, Jason,

John Tory.
We thought we'd gotten rid of him after that, but he switched
to provincial politics and won the leadership of the PC Party.
But when he couldn't get elected to the premiership either, he
switched back to municipal politics. And after 4 years of Rob
Ford as mayor -- and with Doug Ford running to succeed him --
Tory looked good in comparison.
(Seriously now, he's been a good mayor in many ways; I just don't
like some of his policy choices.)
