These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-07-04,
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 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 the Usual Suspects 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 2016-05-31 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 7, Round 9 - Science - App Logos
This round is about app logos, and any connection to any sort
of "franchise" is accidental. All of the apps in question are
available on smartphones, and many of them exist as web sites
as well. If you're not a digital native, then hopefully you're
at least an immigrant. Or if you're still using a flip-phone or
maybe two tin cans and a piece of string... well, at least you
can wax the string.

Originally the first 4 questions on the round give you an app and
you had to give the number. Those apps were Facebook Messenger,
Instagram, Reddit, and Snapchat. Instead I'm going to rearrange
the round in order by picture number and ask you to give the app
for each one, and you'll simply know that those are four of the
answers among the 10 actual questions.
There were 14 decoys, which are shown in their sequence below;
name them if you like for fun, but for no points.

** Game 7, Round 10 - Challenge Round from Eh to F
* Eh?
A1. In the 1970s, Peter Gzowski ["ZOFF-skee"] challenged his
audiences to produce the best possible completion for the
phrase "as Canadian as". For what phrase was 17-year-old
Heather Scott of Sarnia declared the winner, eh?
A2. Referring to trivia categories, William Lyon Mackenzie
King said that Canada had "not enough" *what*, and "too much"
*what*, eh?
* Bee in Science
B1. Name the three types of bees found in a beehive.
B2. Which of the three types are male and which are female?
* Sea in Geography
C1. If you follow the Mediterranean Sea coastline clockwise
starting at Gibraltar, you will first be going east along
the north shore of the sea. What are the *first 3* countries
you'll enter, *in order*?
C2. Continuing your clockwise journey around the Mediterranean,
at some point you will reach the Nile Delta in Egypt and
then will be going west along the south shore of the sea.
So what will be the next 3 countries you enter after Egypt?
Again, you must give them *in order*.
* De in Entertainment
These questions are about people whose surnames contain the particle "de".
D1. He's played a comical minor villain in "Romancing the Stone",
a terrible father in "Matilda", and the publisher of a
sleazy magazine in "L.A. Confidential". He's also had two
long-running TV roles. Name him.
D2. He's played a renegade duct repairman in "Brazil", the
captain of a flying pirate ship in "Stardust", and a
mobster who has panic attacks in "Analyze This". And for
some of his other films he's won 2 Oscars out of a total
of 7 nominations. Name him.
* E as in Alphabets
E1. There are two letters in the Greek alphabet that have names
that we write as starting with E, and both are commonly
transliterated into our alphabet as E. Name either of
these Greek letters.
E2. In the Russian Cyrillic alphabet, there are two letters
with a sound like "ee", but they are commonly transliterated
into our alphabet as I or Y. Describe what either of these
Russian letters *looks like*. (Please don't post the actual
Cyrillic letters in Unicode.)
* F is for Fairs
F1. The first fair that we might call a world's fair was the
Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations,
held at the Crystal Palace in London, which was built
especially for it. What year was the fair, within 10?
F2. A world's fair in Paris featured a temporary tower that, at
the time, was the tallest structure in the world. Many
people called the thing a monstrosity, but for some reason
it's still there. When was this fair held, within 10 years?

Gibraltar is not a country or part of a country, so obviously there
was no need for the question to to say "enter after Gibraltar"
as with C2.

Oscar winner for "The Godfather: Part II" (1974) and "Raging Bull"
(1980); nominated for "Taxi Driver" (1976) -- so this was the second
taxi-related question in this pair! -- "The Deer Hunter" (1978),
"Awakenings" (1990), "Cape Fear" (1991), "Silver Linings Playbook"
(2012).

Epsilon, eta. 4 for Peter, Dan Blum, Erland (the hard way), Bruce
(the hard way), Pete, Joshua, Marc, Dan Tilque, Stephen (the hard
way), and Björn.

One looks like a backwards capital N; the other looks like the two
letters bl or bI. 4 for Dan Blum, Erland (the hard way), Bruce,
Joshua, Marc, Dan Tilque, and Stephen.
Björn I guess that the Y looks like a capital Lamda - uppercase. That is an uppercase and up side down V
The "backwards capital R" is also a vowel, but sounds like "ya" and is
usually transliterated that way. There is no "upside-down V" letter.

1851 (accepting 1841-61). 4 for Peter, Dan Blum, Bruce, Joshua,
Marc, Dan Tilque, and Stephen.
The Crystal Palace was the first large building designed to be
assembled relatively quickly from prefabricated parts, and for the
fair it was located in Hyde Park in central London. After the fair
was over, it was dismantled and reerected -- now somewhat differently
shaped -- in south London. It was destroyed by fire in 1936, but
the name Crystal Palace is still used for the district where it
was located.

1889 (accepting 1879-99). 4 for Erland, Bruce, Pete, Joshua,
Dan Tilque, Stephen, and Björn.
In case you didn't guess, this tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel
and is now known by his name.

letters bl or bI. 4 for Dan Blum, Erland (the hard way), Bruce,
Joshua, Marc, Dan Tilque, and Stephen.
Björn I guess that the Y looks like a capital Lamda - uppercase. That is an uppercase and up side down V
The "backwards capital R" is also a vowel, but sounds like "ya" and is
usually transliterated that way. There is no "upside-down V" letter.

Marc, Dan Tilque, and Stephen.
The Crystal Palace was the first large building designed to be
assembled relatively quickly from prefabricated parts, and for the
fair it was located in Hyde Park in central London. After the fair
was over, it was dismantled and reerected -- now somewhat differently
shaped -- in south London. It was destroyed by fire in 1936, but
the name Crystal Palace is still used for the district where it
was located.
