These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-09-21,
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 Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 7 - Canadiana History - Canadian Murders
1. Michael Briere pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering
a 10-year-old girl who was walking past his house on
Bloor St. in 2003. Name the victim; *either* her first
name or last name will do.
2. What was the name of the 12-year-old shoeshine boy, the son
of impoverished Portuguese immigrants, whose sexual assault
and murder shocked Toronto in August 1977?
3. Valery Fabrikant was an associate professor of mechanical
engineering who shot and killed four colleagues in 1992 --
at which university?
4. Denis Lortie is a former Canadian Forces corporal who killed
three government employees when he attacked which building
in 1984?
5. Marc Lepine murdered 14 women and wounded 18 other people when
he attacked which school in 1989?
6. Grace Marks was a Canadian maid who was controversially convicted
of murdering her employer in 1843. In 1996, Margaret Atwood
published a novel based on the case. What was the title?
7. What is the name of the former colonel in the Canadian Forces
who was arrested on murder charges while in command of the
country's largest and busiest military air base, CFB Trenton?
8. A Hungarian-born Canadian former real estate developer who
was convicted in 1974 of arranging the murder of his wife.
It resulted in the longest trial in Canadian history.
What is his name?
9. Born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman, what is the better-known name
of the former pornographic actor and model who killed and
dismembered Lin Jun in 2012, then mailed limbs to elementary
schools and federal political party offices?
10. A now-demolished house at 57 Bayview St., Port Dalhousie, was
the scene of gruesome murders by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.
Port Dalhousie is part of which Canadian city?

* Game 1, Round 8 - Entertainment - Spoiler Alert!
Movies sometimes end with a plot twist. Here are ten spoilers
of now-well-known twists for you -- you name the movies. Note:
if a movie is part of a series, the series title is NOT sufficient.
(As a courtesy to those who might yet see these movies and would
rather not hear about them from me, I have rot13'd the entire round.
You can pick out the dates from the rot13 to decide whether you'd
rather skip the round. Sorry, no bonus points if you can guess
the titles *without* decoding the rot13.)

The first movie was called "Star Wars".
All other titles are retcons.

Posters my ass. The real title is the one shown onscreen, which *did*
have "Episode V". It came out about a year after the retcon-in-rerelease
that added "Episode IV: A New Hope" to the title of the first movie.
Anyway, your poster shows the title as "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes
Back", or possibly vice versa, but not as what you said. And I did
accept that answer for full points.

have "Episode V". It came out about a year after the retcon-in-rerelease
that added "Episode IV: A New Hope" to the title of the first movie.
Anyway, your poster shows the title as "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes
Back", or possibly vice versa, but not as what you said. And I did
accept that answer for full points.

Well that makes no sense - the opening crawl doesn't say "Star Wars"....

And if the title is what's shown onscreen, surely it should be called
"A long time ago in a galaxy far far away".
Anyway, its your quiz and you can be as idiotic as you like, but that's
*especially* idiotic.

It's not necessarily the *first* thing that's shown onscreen, y'know.
If it was, there would be a lot of movies with titles like "A Martin
Scorsese film".

Thankew.

On this peripheral point it turns out we were both wrong. Multiple sources
confirm that it was added for a cinema release, but it was indeed in 1981.

"Star Wars" appears before the crawl, followed by the rest of the title,
which does include "Episode V":
