These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-23,
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 (from the first posting).
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 10, Round 4 - Canadiana Geography - Toronto Neighborhood Street Signs
Toronto has a real mix of street signs right now. In some
neighborhoods, on some streets, above the street name is the name
of the neighborhood (or a business improvement area). The handout
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-4/signs.jpg
shows these street signs with the top section blanked. In each
case, tell what it says in the top part of the sign. (FYI, the
pictures were taken in February and March of 2015.)
I've rearranged the handout so that pictures #1-10 correspond to
the 10 questions in order.
1. Cross street is Bloor St. W.
2. Cross street is Quebec Av.
3. Self-explanatory.
4. Self-explanatory.
5. Cross street is Dundas St. W.
6. Self-explanatory.
7. Cross street is Bloor St. W.
8. Self-explanatory.
9. Cross street is Sheppard St., which is one block west of Bay St.
10. Cross street is Parliament St.
There were 2 decoys. Answer them if you like for fun, but for no points.
11. Cross street is Queen St. W.
12. Cross street is Richmond St. W.
* Game 10, Round 6 - Sports & Leisure - Cars
Identify the car company from the model mentioned.
1. Soul.
2. Land Cruiser.
3. Nano.
4. Rogue or Cube.
5. Fix.
6. Volt.
7. Silver Ghost.
8. Tiguan.
9. Flex.
10. 500 (or Cinquecento).

Three entrants (Stephen, Bruce, and Marc) correctly guessed that
the question was supposed to read "Fit" -- I wonder whether it was
an oddball typo or a joke that slipped in -- and gave the intended
answer "Honda". One other entrant (Dan Blum) gave that answer
without comment. Still, the best thing seems to be to discard this
question: no points for anyone. Sorry about not noticing the error.
