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 5 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 both of these rounds.

* Game 7, Round 7 - Geography - World City Names

We give the usual name of a city in English; you give its actual
name in the local language. In the original game a close-enough
pronunciation would have been sufficient, but here you must give
the exact spelling of the answer using our alphabet (you may omit
accent marks, but if you give them they must be correct).

In the original game, this example was given: "we say 'PA-riss,
France'; you say 'Pa-REE' or P-A-R-I-S -- only that's not a real
example, because it uses the same spelling."

1. Vienna, Austria.
2. Naples, Italy.
3. The Hague, Netherlands.
4. Munich, Germany.
5. Moscow ["MOSS-cow" or "MOSS-koe"], Russia.
6. Lisbon, Portugal.
7. Prague, Czechia.
8. Cologne, Germany.

9. Brussels, Belgium. Give *either* the French or the Dutch name --
you need not say which.

10. Geneva, Switzerland. Give *either* the French or the German
name -- you need not say which.

* Game 7, Round 8 - History - US Presidents by Middle Name

A simple round: we say David, for example, and you say Dwight
Eisenhower. Or just Eisenhower will be sufficient unless another
president has the same surname.

1. Birchard.
2. Henry.
3. John.
4. Hussein.
5. Gamaliel ["ga-MAY-lee-ell"].
6. Robinette.
7. Baines.
8. Milhous ["MILL-house"].
9. Jefferson.
10. Wilson.

I accepted spellings using "oe" and "ue" to render "ö" and "ü" into
our alphabet.

And, in the original game, this was the easiest round.

> 1. Vienna, Austria.

Wien [properly "veen"]. 4 for everyone -- Erland, Dan Blum,
Dan Tilque, Stephen, and Joshua.

> 2. Naples, Italy.

Napoli or [local dialect] Napule. 4 for everyone.

> 3. The Hague, Netherlands.

Den Haag. 4 for everyone.

> 4. Munich, Germany.

München [properly "MYOON-khen"]. 4 for everyone.

> 5. Moscow ["MOSS-cow" or "MOSS-koe"], Russia.

Moskva. 4 for everyone.

> 6. Lisbon, Portugal.

Lisboa ["leece-BO-uh"]. 4 for everyone.

> 7. Prague, Czechia.

Praha. 4 for everyone.

> 8. Cologne, Germany.

Köln [properly "kerln" without the R sound]. 4 for everyone.

> 9. Brussels, Belgium. Give *either* the French or the Dutch name --
> you need not say which.

Bruxelles or Brussel [both more or less "broo-SELL"]. 4 for everyone.

> 10. Geneva, Switzerland. Give *either* the French or the German
> name -- you need not say which.

Genève ["zhen-EV"] or Genf ["ghenf"]. 4 for Erland, Dan Tilque,
Stephen, and Joshua.

> * Game 7, Round 8 - History - US Presidents by Middle Name

> A simple round: we say David, for example, and you say Dwight
> Eisenhower. Or just Eisenhower will be sufficient unless another
> president has the same surname.

> 1. Birchard.

Rutherford Hayes. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, and Joshua.

(Lyndon Johnson: see below.)

> 2. Henry.

William Harrison. (Both names required.) 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque,
and Joshua.

(George H.W. Bush: Herbert Walker.)

> 3. John.

Donald Trump. 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

> 4. Hussein.

Barack Obama. 4 for Erland, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, and Joshua.

> 5. Gamaliel ["ga-MAY-lee-ell"].
