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*)".

** Game 3, Round 9 - Geography - Do You Know Where the Bodies are Buried?

1. In what city is composer Johann Sebastian Bach buried?
2. In what city is writer Oscar Wilde buried?
3. In which *US state* is president John F. Kennedy buried?
4. In which *US state* is poet Robert Frost buried?
5. In what city is poet Edgar Allan Poe buried?
6. In what town would you find Jacques Cartier's tomb?
7. In which Toronto *cemetery* is 1837 rebel Samuel Lount buried?
8. In what city is Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald buried?

9. In what city is Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King
buried?

10. Jacques Brel, far from alive and well, is dead and buried on
an island in which *body of water*?

** Game 3, Round 10 - Challenge Round

* A. Obscure Musical Instruments

Name the obscure musical instrument.

A1. A member of the harpsichord family played with plucked metal
strings but rectangular like the clavichord. Popular during
the reign of Elizabeth I, it may have been named after her.

A2. A bass woodwind created around 1600 and used to supplement
the bassoon in French military bands. Shaped something
like a snake.

* B. Food Name Canards

These dishes are called one thing but made with something
else entirely. Name the main ingredient.

B1. Cape Cod turkey.

B2. Chicken-fried steak.

* C. Dark Movies

From the description, name the film noir.

C1. 1947. Kirk Douglas plays a hood who hires Robert Mitchum
to find his missing girlfriend, played by Jane Greer.

C2. 1944. This wonderfully seedy flick has Dick Powell searching
for an ex-con's girlfriend, played by Claire Trevor.
He gets beat up, a lot.

* D. Leaflines

Give the nickname for the relevant Toronto Maple Leaf forward
line.

D1. Charlie Conacher, Joe Primeau, and Busher Jackson played
together 1929-36. The line was initially nicknamed because
all three were so young.

D2. Wendel Clark, Russ Courtnall, and Gary Leeman formed this
line in the 1980s. The nickname was taken from the college
team that all three had played on.

* E. Ontario Community Colleges

We'll give you the city that's home to the main campus.
You name the community college.

E1. Belleville.
E2. Windsor.

* F. Canadian Science Firsts

F1. In 1922 this Canadian entrepreneur, inventor, and adventurer
became the first to transmit a photograph digitally.
Name him.

F2. In 1972 Telsat Canada launched the first Canadian domestic
geostationary satellite. Name it.
