These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-12-02,
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 10, Round 2 - Literature - Children's Books

For questions #1-4, complete the titles with the animals described.

1. Written by Eric Carle, this beloved book entitled "The Very
Hungry <answer>" follows this famished insect as it eats its
way through different foods during the week.

2. "<answer> Go Berserk" is a Sandra Boynton classic counting story.
These exuberant animals show up in ever-increasing numbers,
until an all-night party is inevitable. Who go berserk?

3. "Goodnight, <answer>" is a funny story by Peggy Rathman about
this mischievous animal that snags the keys from the zookeeper's
back pocket and quietly lets himself out. After the zookeeper
goes to say goodnight to each animal, the troublemaker goes to
let them out too.

4. Mo Willems has written a number of books with this bird as the
main character. Titles include: "Don't Let the <answer> Drive
the Bus!", "The <answer> Eats a Hot Dog!" and "Don't Let the
<answer> Stay Up Late!"

For questions #5-10, give the title.

5. This Chris Van Allsberg book tells the story of a boy who goes
on an amazing journey to the North Pole to meet Santa. It is
a Caldecott Medal winner and was made into a movie in 2004.

6. Another Caldecott Medal winner written by Chris Van Allsberg,
this one is about a magical game that leads to a wild jungle
and the only way to get rid of the rowdy animals is when someone
wins the game. It was also made into a movie, in 1995.

7. When there is orange juice rain, hamburger hail, and mashed
potato snow, there is no need to cook or shop, only the need
to eat all that comes down and not get hit by giant pancakes
that might crush you. Name the fun book by Judy and Ron Barrett.

8. Scientific, humorous, and silly, this is one story that will be
helpful to those who are in the midst of potty training and a
riot for those who love bathroom humor. Comparisons about the
size, look and smell of "#2" from different living creatures
are the focus of the story. Written by Tari Gomi.

9. In award-winning artist Jerry Pinkney's wordless adaptation of
one of Aesop's most beloved fables, an unlikely pair learns that
no act of kindness is ever wasted. A Caldecott Medal winner
with vivid depictions of the landscape of the African Serengeti
and expressively-drawn characters, Pinkney makes this a truly
special retelling, and his stunning pictures speak volumes.

10. A Robert Munsch classic, this book tells of Princess Elizabeth,
whose Prince Ronald is kidnapped by a dragon. The dragon burns
down her castle, including all her fancy clothes so she has
nothing to wear. Spoiler alert: She rescues him, but when he
tells her to come back when she looks more like a princess,
she realizes she's better off without him.

* Game 10, Round 3 - Science - Finding Nemo

For each photo, tell which of the following fish is shown in it:

Anemonefish Flounder Parrotfish
Angelfish Frogfish Snapper
Barracuda Ghost pipefish Surgeonfish
Barramundi Grouper Sweetlips
Blenny Lionfish Tang
Boxfish Mandarinfish Triggerfish
Damsel Moorish idol Wrasse

(Yeah, I know, Nemo was a clownfish and that's not one of the
choices. Never mind that.)

I posted answers early on - did they not go through? (I checked and
I can see the post on my server.)

It appears there was a problem at Panix and Dan's outgoing postings
were delayed, so I also didn't see his February 27 query. Dan's
February 24 answers posting still has not shown up on the news server
that Vex uses -- perhaps it was considered too old -- but it has
appeared on Google Groups, and those who want to see Dan's wrong
answers can check there.

Dan gave correct answers on the following questions, and takes the
early lead in this game.
