These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-06-20,
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.

that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

based. Note: there are plenty of Uniteds and FCs all over the
world, so to avoid multiple answers, these questions pertain only to

that were correct in 2011 will be accepted.)

Portuguese-speaking ones (or former Portuguese colonies).
4 for everyone -- Joshua, Erland, Dan Tilque, and Dan Blum.

It appears that only three sets of these games have been held.
The third occasion had to be postponed and the fourth one ran into
worse trouble.

I don't see any non-ASCII characters there. Do you?

(And, alas, my newsreader is not capable of the full Unicode set,
so it will not stray out of Latin-1.)

Oh, I thought it was an attempt to use Cyrillic. If you meant Mockba,
you get 0 on this question.

Pete Gayde

If Pete Gayde's answers had been posted on time, he would have scored
40 points on Round 9 and 4 points on Round 10 for a final score of 136,
which would have placed 3rd.

Oops, disregard that! Pete's answers *were* on time, but I miscounted
days again, this time scoring the contest early rather than late. They
are accepted, assuming that Pete didn't cheat by looking at the answers
I posted.

I also miscomputed Erland's total when adjusting his score before.

Sorry about all that, folks.

Just to be clear, did you accept "Kajuro" too? Because that's what I put.

Well, it was. Some Cyrillic characters can easily be mimicked
with ASCII characters. Even if they have their own code points in
Unicode. But as noted, my newsreader are not capable to handle
those.

> If you meant Mockba,

I guess that if I had meant Mockba, I would have written Mockba. But
in lowercase, the number of cyrillic characters that have ASCII
counterparts are fewer.

Er, right, that's what I meant.

Scores, if there are *now* no errors, remain unchanged.
