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. For further information see
my companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
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.

Grapefruit. 4 for Stephen, Dan Blum, Calvin, Pete, and Joshua.
The scene was parodied in Cagney's 1961 comedy "One, Two, Three".
In that movie, at one point he gets mad at his wife and holds up a
cereal bowl, pretending he's going to hit her with it -- but he holds
it vertically, so it matches the curve of the half-grapefruit from
"Public Enemy".
