These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-01-15,
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 Bill Psychs 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 2 - Geography - Canadian Universities
In each case, we'll give you the name of a Canadian university,
and you tell us what municipality its main campus is located in.
1. Royal Roads U.
2. Laurentian U.
3. Lakehead U.
4. Mt. Allison U.
5. U. of Ontario Institute of Technology.
6. Simon Fraser U.
7. Concordia U.
8. Western U.
9. McMaster U.
10. Nipissing U.
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: Fbzr bs gur

* Game 1, Round 3 - Arts - Illustrators of Children's Fiction
Please see the 2-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/1-3/illus.pdf
This round is about illustrators (some of them also authors)
of classic children's stories. In each case you have to supply
the letter on the handout corresponding to the artist we name.
We'll also give you their year of birth, and one or more titles
that they're known for -- although we *won't* necessarily mention
the work that the image is from.
Of course, any identifying information such as signatures has
been removed.
1. Ernest Howard (E.H.) Shepard, born 1879. Known for: "The House
at Pooh Corner".
2. Eric Carle, born 1929. Known for: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar",
"The Mixed-Up Chameleon".
3. Quentin Blake, born 1932. Known for: "James and the Giant
Peach", "Matilda".
4. Shel Silverstein, born 1930. Known for: "Where the Sidewalk
Ends", "The Giving Tree".
5. Maurice Sendak, born 1928. Known for: "Where the Wild Things
Are".
6. Ludwig Bemelmans, born 1898. Known for: "Madeline and the
Bad Hat".
7. Ezra Jack Keats, born 1916. Known for: "The Snowy Day",
"Peter's Chair".
8. Virginia Lee Burton, born 1909. Known for: "Maybelle the Cable
Car", "Katy and the Big Snow".
9. Kate Greenaway, born 1846. Known for: "Mother Goose" (aka
"The Old Nursery Rhymes").
10. Beatrix Potter, born 1866. Known for: "The Tale of Jemima
Puddle-Duck", "The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle".
So there were 10 decoys. Decode the rot13 if you'd like to identify
the works of those illustrators based on their names alone, for fun,
but for no points:
11. Thfgnir Qbeé.
12. Jnygre Penar.
13. Wbuaal Tehryyr.
14. Whyrf Srvssre.
15. Pyrzrag Uheq.
16. Wbua Graavry.
17. C.Q. Rnfgzna.
18. Xnl Avryfra.
19. Eboreg ZpPybfxrl.
20. Ivetvavn Senaprf Fgreergg.
