• QFTCISG24 Game 3, Rounds 7-8: Canadian golf and law

    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 18 02:36:37 2024
    These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2024-05-27,
    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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2024-08-30
    companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".


    * Game 3, Round 7 - Canadiana Sports - Canadian Open Golf

    Thursday, along with some other golf questions.

    1. In which Ontario city is this year's Canadian Open taking place?

    2. Last year's Open saw likely the most memorable finish in the
    tournament's history. Name the Canadian who won at Toronto's
    Oakdale club with a 72-foot putt on the 4th playoff hole.
    He's the first Canadian to win the event since 1954.

    3. The Canadian Open has a distinguished list of past champions,
    including Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Arnold Palmer. Name
    *either one* of the two Hall of Famers who won the British,
    US, and Canadian Opens in the same year -- one in 1971, and
    the other in 2000.

    4. Please deocde the rot13 for this question only after you have
    finished with the previous one. Gur tbysre jub znal pbafvqre gur

    in Hamilton in 2019. Who?

    9. As just mentioned, <answer 8> is 3rd in the world golf rankings.
    Who is #1, thanks in part to his Masters victory last month?
    He was arrested and charged after an incident at the recent
    PGA Championship.

    10. Another major golf event this year in Canada takes place in
    September in Montreal. It's the latest of the biennial matches
    between the top Americans, and the best from the rest of the
    world outside Europe. Name the trophy.

    Canada, of course.

    decides whether certain evidence is admissible at trial?

    voluntarily signs it, and swears or affirms that its contents
    are true to the best of his or her belief?

    or she is being wrongfully detained?

    6. What's the term for a jail sentence which the offender serves
    in chunks of time, such as on weekends, instead of all at once?

    7. If a defendant is found guilty, but no conviction is registered
    and no conditions are imposed, what is this called? Give the
    full name.

    8. What's the name for the list of cases to be heard by a court?
