These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-07-09,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of What She Said and/or of Smith & Guessin', but have
been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me.
I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days.

For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

We'll give you the location of a Toronto District School Board
high school, and you name the school. Note that the schools are in

if it is not Toronto.

* Game 9, Round 6 - Sports - Blue Jays: No Tom, No Dick, No Harry

as commonly used by the team.
