These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-05-29,
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.

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

please see my 2023-05-24 companion posting on "Questions from the

Bush v. Gore, the case that effectively decided the presidential
election in the year 2000? Hint: the country is in Africa.

9. A pre-decimalization coin equal to 21 shillings. Hints: The
