These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-05-08,
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 Bloor St. Irregulars and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information please
see my recent companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 1, Round 2 - Sports - Droughts

We all know that the Leafs have not won the Stanley Cup in 55
years. Given a sport and the relevant span of years, identify
the team which has failed to win the applicable championship.
Please specify location and team name, e.g. Toronto Maple Leafs.

1. Baseball, 1908-2016.
2. Baseball, 1948-present.
3. Hockey, 1940-94.
4. Hockey, 1961-2010.
5. American football, 1969-present.
6. American football, 1964-present.
7. Soccer World Cup, 1966-present.
8. Soccer World Cup, never won. Lost World Cup final in 1974,
1978, and 2010.
9. Hockey, never won (although an unrelated team last won in 1927).
Lost Stanley Cup final in 2007.
10. American football, never won. Lost Super Bowl in 1991, 1992, 1993,
and 1994.

* Game 1, Round 3 - Literature - The Next Book

We'll give you the author, and one of their works. You tell us
the sequel (or in general the next book in the series).

1. "2001: A Space Odyssey", by Arthur C. Clarke.
2. "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", by Douglas Adams.
3. "Anne of Green Gables", by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
4. "The Handmaid's Tale", by Margaret Atwood.
5. "The Shining", by Stephen King.
6. "Red Dragon", by Thomas Harris.
7. "To Kill a Mockingbird", by Harper Lee.
8. "Catch-22", by Joseph Heller.
9. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", by Lewis Carroll.

Oops. OK, there was eventually a second book released under her
name - but did she actually write it?

Well, I tried to get away with only the year. But it seems that I
don't.
