Since Premier Ford's has joined in the stampede of governments
into taking *less* action against COVID-19, the resumption of the
Canadian Inquisition seems to be receding farther into the future.
I therefore intend to continue reposting past seasons that I have
previously posted to the newsgroup. The next one will be the second
season of 2012, written jointly by the teams What She Said and Smith
& Guessin', and previously posted here in late 2012 and early 2013.
The Subject line tag for this season will be RQFTCIWSSSG12.
These questions, then, were written to be asked in Toronto on
2012-04-30, 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*)".
