These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2024-06-17,
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 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*)".

(These are likely wrong, since the Gordie Howe bridge in Detroit is
still under construction. Spadina Crescent is the name of a traffic
circle in Toronto, but AFAIK not the name of a bridge. But I don't have
a better answer, so I'm leaving it.)
