These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-04-15,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, 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 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

many voices, facial expressions, and characters; the most

Row across the Atlantic Ocean (from Dakar to Miami). Stephen got
this.

Due to a typo, in the original game the question read "600 kg
north of...". Now that's heavy!

Jonathan Winters. Dan Blum, Pete, Stephen, and Joshua got this.

This was the second-easiest round in the original game, after
current events.

Alan King was a good try -- his real name was Irwin Alan Kniberg.

Michael Caine. 4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, Joshua, and Jason.

Cary Grant was really Archie Leach. You may (no, I mean you should)
remember that that was the name of co-author John Cleese's character
in "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988); this was Cleese's homage to Grant.

Democratic Republic of the Congo. "Congo" was sufficient.

Colombia was the expected answer, but apparently there are districts
called Putumayo in Peru and Ecuador as well. Those are smaller
than provinces, but "region" is not exactly a precisely defined
term, so all three answers were acceptable -- not that it mattered.
4 for Stephen.

The other Galicia extends east-west across the Poland/Ukraine border.

Also in Slovenia, where the name is Stajerska. Wikipedia refers to it
as a "traditional region", which suggests that it is not administrative.
Then again, the preamble to the quiz did not make any such requirement.

If anyone wonders where I got Greece from, my defence is that I know
the region by its German name, so Styria was alien to me.
