These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-05-28,
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 What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

** Game 2, Round 10 - Challenge Round - X Marks the Spot
Every week we have A through F, but never an X. Time to rectify

for over 50 years.
A1. Which villain did the X-Men fight in their very first issue,
in 1963?

Choklad mörk
So some of these names actually means something, "Choklad mörk" is
simply "chocholate dark". "Förslutas" is "to be sealed". "Klunka" is
"gulp down". Others are place name. For instance "Kallax" is an airport
up north. And speaking of place names, recently I checked their web
site to see their sofas and my jaw dropped when they had one called
Färlöv - that's the neighbouring village to the one I grew up in!
And if my result is poor - I had to guess the most of them. Pax is the
only one I know, and Grönsakskaka was quite obvious.

7.3% (accepting 7.2%-7.4%). Nobody was within twice the leeway.
I thought it was interesting that four entrants made guesses not
terribly far off correct, while the other three went much higher,
giving numbers around 13%. Perhaps this reflects different practices
in their own respective countries.

"Poäng"? How can they call an armchair "poäng"? That's a quite crazy
name, even to be IKEA.
"poäng" means "point" as in the points you get in these quizzes.
Well, except for the vegetable medallions and the chocolate cake, I did not
really have any advantage of being Swedish. Well, possibly "Hampen".
