These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-02-17.
I will accept the answers that were correct then and there. If you
know that a question is out of date and a different answer is now
correct, please say so (either along with your answers, or in a
separate posting afterwards) and I will also accept that answer.
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.
See my July 23 companion posting "Old Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (OQFTCI)" for further details. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
I wrote Round 9 and two pairs in the challenge round.
Game 5, Round 9: Miscellaneous - 3-Digit Numbers

RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #259 (GOLQ259)
