These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-04-08,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct
answers in about 3 days.

For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

I've been to this waterfall, but can I remember the name? No. I think
it begins with an "M".

"Jeopardy!" had a question on Tuesday asking for this waterfall.
Instead of naming the park, they gave the height (3,200 feet)
and the country and noted that, ironically, it descends from the
Devil's Mountain (Auyán-tepui) (which is a local name, whereas the
falls are named after an American pilot).

The rot13 was only so you wouldn't see this question before you
answered #1, but since rot13 doesn't disguise numbers, I thought
I'd better conceal which question I was concerned with.
