These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-06-19,
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

please see my 2023-05-24 companion posting on "Questions from the
Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 6, Round 4 - Sports - Cy Young Winners

Since 1956, the Cy Young award has recognized the best pitchers
in Major League baseball.

1. The award is named after legendary pitcher Cy Young. Name *any
year* when Cy Young played professionally, between his debut
with the Cleveland Spiders and his retirement from the Boston
Rustlers.

For questions #2-10, in each case name the pitcher described.
All of them have won the award more than once each.

2. The first man to win multiple Cy Youngs was this Los Angeles
Dodger, who won three times between 1963 and 1966.

3. Nicknamed "the Franchise", this man won his first Cy Young in the
"Miracle" Mets' season of 1969, adding two more in the early
'70s. He is one of only two Mets in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

4. Also famous as an underwear model, this Baltimore Oriole won
the Cy Young three times in the mid-Seventies.

5. The man with the most Cy Young awards is this man, with 7.
He won his first three with the Red Sox starting in 1986, then
two with the Blue Jays, one with the Yankees, and one with
the Astros.

6. Other than <answer 5>, the only Blue Jay with multiple Cy Young
wins is this man, who won as a Jay in 2003 and as a Philly
in 2010. He died in a plane crash in 2017.

7. The only Montreal Expo to win the Cy Young was this pitcher, who
did it in 1997. He added two more awards playing for the
Red Sox.

8. Nicknamed "the Big Unit", this 6'10" pitcher won in 1995 for
the Mariners and then 4 consecutive years (1999-2002) for the
Diamondbacks.

9. Other than <answer 8>, the only pitcher to win 4 consecutive Cy
Youngs is this man. He won as a Cub in 1992 and then the
following 3 years as a Brave.

10. Despite a career plagued by injuries, this New York Met managed
to win the Cy Young in 2018 and 2019.

* Game 6, Round 5 - Audio - At The Zoo

Yes, here's another audio round without the audio.

The audio round is about songs with animals in the titles. In the
original game you would have been played a clip; here I'll just
name the singer or group. In all cases, please name the song.
(With this change, there may be additional answers for some artists
besides the ones in the originsl game; if so, I will accept them.)

1. Peter Gabriel.
2. Katy Perry, featuring Juicy J.
3. Shakira.
4. The Who.
5. Duran Duran.
6. Culture Club.
7. Led Zeppelin.
8. Heart.
9. The Trashmen.
10. Meat Loaf.

* Game 6, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - Corporate Advertising Mascots

1. Introduced in 1980 for the purpose of increasing crime awareness
and personal safety, name the animated bloodhound who wanted
you to help "Take a bite out of crime".

2. Identify the beret-wearing hipster character introduced in 1961
as the spokesman for the StarKist brand of products. He thinks
he's the perfect catch, but he always ends up getting rejected.

3. Introduced in 1894 by two French brothers as the official mascot
for their company and given the name Bibendum, what is the name
by which he is commonly referred to in English? Bibendum's
appearance is that of a man made up of a white stack of the
product that the brothers were famous for producing.

4. Rich Uncle Pennybags is his official name, but in large parts
of the world this board-game mascot is better known by what name?

5. Name this "original party animal" who first appeared in 1987
as a mascot for Annheuser-Busch. This mascot was retired in
1989, partly due to public outcry, but also possibly because the
mascot had begun to overshadow the actual product being sold.
The original portrayer of the mascot died shortly thereafter
in 1993. Name this mascot.

6. What is the official name of the mascot widely known as the
Pillsbury Doughboy?`

7. Name the small animated lamp that is the official mascot of
Pixar Animation Studios. He shares his name with the 1996 Oscar-
nominated animated short that is widely seen as a breakthrough
in computer animation.

8. "It looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like help?"
is what this default Microsoft Office Assistant might annoyingly
ask you. What is this character's actual name?

9. Introduced in 1957, this red-headed breakfast cereal mascot
can't crow in the morning without first having a bowl of the
product that he represents. Name this Kellogg's brand mascot.

10. His full name is Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe and he's
been the mascot for his signature product since 1916. He faked
his death in January 2020 as part of a Super-Bowl-related ad
campaign. Fortunately a baby version of the same character
was reborn from the soil. By what name is he best known?

McGruff (the Crime Dog). 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, Dan Blum,

Michelin (Tire) man. 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, Dan Blum, Stephen,
and Pete.

His real name comes from this poster ad:

http://media.mutualart.com/Images/2019_04/12/21/213421547/78e0a265-62d4-4588-ad0b-c9b38ffe5a6e.Jpeg

"Nunc est bibendum", at the top, is Latin for "now it's time to
drink", and the French words at the bottom mean "To your health!" and
"The Michelin tire drinks obstacles" (such as the broken glass and
other sharp objects in the glass he's toasting with). He's seated
between Brand X and Brand Y tires.

Note incidentally that he's smoking a cigar and wearing a monocle
and a pinky ring. Most car tires don't do that.

Also note that the table is set with tire-repair equipment such
as glue, levers, valve parts, and an air pump. I thought the idea
might be that the Michelin tire won't be needing those, but in that
case why is the line about drinking obstacles repeated on the pump?
