These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-11-18,
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 Clueless, 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
2013-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 9 - Sports - "Got Milk?"
Please see the handout at
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/8-9/milk.pdf
and in each case, name the athlete in the "Got Milk?" ad.
Again, there were 8 decoys and I have sorted everything into
numerical sequence, and again, you're getting full color while
the original game had a black-and-white handout.
Answer the decoys if you like for fun, but for no points.

3. Name him.

5. Name *any two* of the three.
