These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-11-06,
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 the Usual Suspects and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

I wrote one of these rounds.

* Game 7, Round 2 - Sports - 25 Years Ago

In each case, name the team or athlete that won the indicated
competition or award in 1998. For teams, you can name the city
or team name, like "Toronto" or "Maple Leafs", as long as it
is unambiguous.

1. The Super Bowl.
2. The World Cup of soccer.
3. The World Series.
4. The NCAA men's basketball championship.
5. The Grey Cup.
6. The Stanley Cup.
7. The ladies' singles championship at Wimbledon.
8. The Lou Marsh Award as Canada's Athlete of the Year.
9. The Kentucky Derby. (Name the horse.)
10. The NBA championship.

* Game 7, Round 3 - Canadiana - French

All Canadians speak English and French, right? Okay, we give you
a word in English, and you give the equivalent word in French --
or the equivalent phrase, if there isn't a single equivalent word.
Try to pronounce your answer properly, but we won't be fussy.

1. Bridge (as in how you cross a river).
2. Iron (as in the metal).
3. Mayor (as in Rob Ford).
4. Premier (as in Doug Ford).
5. Lawyer.
6. Trial (as in a legal case).
7. Winter.
8. Shadow.
9. Grape.
10. Strawberry.
