These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-04-09,
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

Inuit. (It's a plural. I scored "Inuits" as almost correct.)

$630 (accepting $610-$650). Erland came closest but was still off
by more than $200.
That's $100 for citizenship (refunded if your application is refused)
and $530 for proessing the application. Curiously, no tax is charged
on top of these amounts.
