Mark Brader
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 2010-11-16 companion posting on "Five Guys Named Moe Questions
from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM)".

Who are you and where did you find the Shift key?
If you still remember something from recently looking it up, before
seeing a question about it in QFTCI, then you are welcome to use it
in QFTCI, just as you would be if you'd just seen it on Jeopardy!.
It doesn't matter how recently you learned something, only that you
know it.

I don't quite see what Winnie-the-Pooh has to do with this.

And Stephen Perry wins another game. Well done once again!
Next we'll have Current Events from the just-ended season's Final,
completing the Current Events game where Stephen has already clinched
the win, and then we'll move on to Game 10 of the Moes' season.

I Don't Know. I assumed "Why, I don't know" was two answers and
"I don't know who" was one. So, 4 for Marc, Joshua, Dan Blum,
Stephen, and Pete. 2 for Calvin.

I Don't Give a Darn. 4 for Joshua and Pete.

Joshua, and Dan Blum.
> D. Fourth

Unreasonable search and seizure. Prohibiting "illegal" or "unlawful"
search and seizure would be tautological, but I somewhat reluctantly
scored these as almost correct. 4 for Marc, Joshua, Dan Blum,
and Stephen. 3 for Dan Tilque and Pete.
> D2. The computer language Forth was so called because it

Oops, you're right! That was my error when editing the questions; I was
thinking that that name came a little later.
