(Once again I absentmindedly posted this set in the previous thread,
this time without even checking the subject line or cleaning up the
reminder to do so. Responses in this thread are preferred, but ones
in the other will be accepted.)
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-05-30,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Misplaced Modifiers, 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*)".

somewhat controversially, changed -- to what?
