These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-04,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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*)".

The precedence don't enter into it -- it's stone undefined.
This expression makes no sense. It has ceased to be. It's
expired and gone, though sadly not forgotten. This is a latent
expression. Bereft of meaning, it should rest in peace. If
people didn't keep nailing it into these discussions, it would be
pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined
the choir ineffable. This is not an ex-pression.

I accepted "England" as most or all of these are based in England.
The original wording of this question said it was 8 of 11 teams,
but information in other sources is conflicting; perhaps it depends
on what's meant by "based". Anyway, there are at least 4.

He won it posthumously. 4 for Bruce, Peter, and Gareth.
This is possible because it's based on a cumulative score over the
whole year. You can win a QFTCI game posthumously as well, but I'd
rather you didn't try.

I accepted "England" as most or all of these are based in England.
The original wording of this question said it was 8 of 11 teams,
but information in other sources is conflicting; perhaps it depends
on what's meant by "based". Anyway, there are at least 4.

and Gareth.

This is possible because it's based on a cumulative score over the
whole year. You can win a QFTCI game posthumously as well, but I'd
rather you didn't try.

words last time, by specifying too few this time? :-)
Look, brotha, I had all three words, but the one in the middle was a
