These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-04-01,
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 Cellar Rats 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

Goose. (It's his radio callsign. Most of the characters in this
movie are only ever referred to by their callsigns.) 4 for Dan Blum
and Calvin.

Emmett Brown. (Accepting "Doc" Brown. Or, of course, just Brown.
But just "Doc"? No.) 4 for Joshua and Dan Blum.

1909 (accepting 1908-10). Nobody came within 10 years.

106th.
The four years without a Grey Cup were 1916-19. It was canceled
in 1916-18 due to the war, and again in 1919 due to a dispute
between leagues (of course this is long before the CFL existed).
Rather than cancel it again during WW2, arrangements were made for
military teams to compete.
> 3. The Calgary Stampeders won in 2018 -- who did they beat?
Ottawa Redblacks. 4 for Pete.
The Ottawa Rough Riders haven't existed since 1996.

Governor-General of Canada. 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Dan Blum.
> 5. Due to weather conditions, what nickname was given to the 1962

The Fog Bowl. 4 for Joshua.
Play was suspended about halfway through the fourth quarter and
resumed the next day. Nobody scored on the second day.

A young woman streaked across the field. 4 for Dan Tilque.
> 7. In 1995 which team unusually won the Grey Cup, beating the

Baltimore Stallions. 4 for Dan Tilque.
During the CFL's short-lived expansion into the US, this was the
only US-based team to win.
> 8. The Grey Cup was stolen in 1969 from the offices of the Ottawa

Royal York Hotel, Toronto.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers. (10 wins, 14 losses.)

Olympic Stadium (Montreal). 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Pete.

106th.
The four years without a Grey Cup were 1916-19. It was canceled
in 1916-18 due to the war, and again in 1919 due to a dispute
between leagues (of course this is long before the CFL existed).
Rather than cancel it again during WW2, arrangements were made for
military teams to compete.
