Mark Brader:
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-03-26,
and should be interpreted accordingly... For further information...
see my 2021-07-20 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from
the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
First, the questions based on "Jeopardy!"'s round on successors,
which I asked when posting the answers to the last QFTCI set.
Erland and Dan Tilque tried these and they both got all of them right.

* Game 9, Round 7 - Miscellaneous - Drummers
Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/09-07/drummer.pdf
(There are 3 pages.)
Drummers usually aren't the most recognizable musicians, because
they spend the whole concert behind their drum kit. However,
these guys are pretty recognizable. For questions #1-6, we give
you the drummer's name, you give us the picture number.
1. Neil Peart.
#6. 4 for Joshua and Erland. 3 for Dan Blum and Pete.
2. Nick Mason.
#18. 4 for Erland. 3 for Pete.
3. Keith Moon.
