These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-02-02,
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 MI5, 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 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 2 - Geography - Sunny US Airport Codes
If you're thinking of heading south, we're on your side. This round is
about the three-letter IATA airport codes -- that's the International
Air Transport Association -- for various sunny US destinations.
For instance: LAS would be Las Vegas.
1. Which spring-break party town, now shared by senior citizens,
goes by the airport code FLL?
2. Which affluent Florida city on the Gulf coast is served by SRQ?
If you prefer, you can name its middle-class neighbor to
the north.
3. Still in Florida, which popular vacation city is served by MCO,
a code derived from the old McCoy Air Force Base?
4. This destination is a notoriously long drive from Miami --
maybe you are better off flying to EYW. Name the Florida city.
5. What is the airport code for Los Angeles International Airport?
6. MSY is the code for an airport named after Louis Armstrong.
What sunny city does it serve?
7. Which warmish cities about 50 km (30 miles) apart are served
by DFW? (Name both.)
8. TUS is the second-busiest airport in which sunny *state*?
9. Trips to Florida sometimes involve a connection in busy CLT.
In which city, reasonably warm in its own right, would you
find CLT?
10. Back to Florida. What moneyed city is serviced by PBI?
* Game 4, Round 3 - Canadiana Sports - Canada at the Sochi Winter Olympics
Last year at this time, we were gearing up to watch our Canadian
athletes compete at the Sochi Winter Olympics. This round will
test how well you remember Canada's performance.
1. Who was the Canadian flag-bearer in the opening ceremonies?
2. Sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe won gold and silver
respectively in what women's event?
3. What athlete became a repeat gold medalist in men's moguls?
4. Who partnered with Heather Moyse to win a gold medal in the
2-woman bobsled event?
5. In the men's 1000 m speed skating event, Gilmore Juno gave up
his spot to which athlete, who went on to win the silver medal?
6. This speed skater, who won two gold medals in the 2010 Vancouver
Games, won gold again in Sochi in the men's 1500 m race. Who?
7. This man's silver medal in men's singles figure skating was
viewed as a disappointment for Canada. Name him.
8. Name both of the ice dancers who won a gold medal at the 2010
Vancouver Games, and silver in Sochi.
9. In the gold-medal men's hockey game, what team did the Canadian
men defeat to win the gold?
10. Same question for women's hockey.

Of course I need to bring up the lame argument that the only reason that
> men defeat to win the gold?
the question is posed the way it is, because of that funny doping incident
which was brought up in the very wrong moment. Without it, surely they
would have had to turn the question the other way.
Yes, it does hurt to say that it was Sweden.
