• QFTCINO25 Game 10, Rounds 2-3: TO streets, Classica Illustrated

    From Mark Brader@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, February 08, 2026 21:39:23
    These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2025-03-31,
    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.

    All questions were written by members of the Night Owls, and are
    used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
    been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
    current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
    of other rounds. For further information please see my 2024-08-30
    companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
    (QFTCI*)".
