Mark Brader:

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-03-26,
and should be interpreted accordingly... For further information...
see my 2021-07-20 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from
the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

First, the questions based on "Jeopardy!"'s round on successors,
which I asked when posting the answers to the last QFTCI set.
Erland and Dan Tilque tried these and they both got all of them right.

$600. Hubert H. Humphrey, as US Vice-President (in 1969).

Spiro Agnew.

$800. Milton Obote, as President of Uganda (in 1971).

Idi Amin.

$200. René Coty, as President of France (in 1959).

$400. King William IV (in 1837).

Queen Victoria, as monarch of the UK.

$1,000. Yoshihito (in 1926).

Hirohito, as Emperor of Japan.

* Game 9, Round 7 - Miscellaneous - Drummers

Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/09-07/drummer.pdf
(There are 3 pages.)

Drummers usually aren't the most recognizable musicians, because
they spend the whole concert behind their drum kit. However,
these guys are pretty recognizable. For questions #1-6, we give
you the drummer's name, you give us the picture number.

1. Neil Peart.

#6. 4 for Joshua and Erland. 3 for Dan Blum and Pete.

2. Nick Mason.

#18. 4 for Erland. 3 for Pete.

3. Keith Moon.

#5. 4 for Pete.

4. Dave Grohl.

#17. 4 for Dan Blum and Pete. 3 for Joshua.

5. Lars Ulrich.

#12. 4 for Erland and Pete. 3 for Joshua.

6. Larry Mullen Jr.

#8. 4 for Erland. 3 for Joshua and Dan Blum.

After completing the above, please decode the rot13 to see the
picture numbers for questions #7-10, in which you must name the
drummer.
