• RQFTCIFFF12 Game 10, Rounds 7-8: opera and cartoon characters

    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 2 05:06:25 2022
    These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-04-02,
    and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
    by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, 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*)".
