MCF's Perilous! 2.I Questions

Well, the second series of MCF's Perilous! is off to a quiet start, with only three entries in the first round. I definitely appreciate a busy schedule, and everything from as-yet unanswered e-mails to my inbox at work testify to that. Still, I am considering making future rounds easier with fewer answers, perhaps only 10. But, for this round, I provided 20 answers for which my readers had to come up with the corresponding questions and post them on their blogs. Scoring was as follows:

1 pt=each question
2 pts=each question that matches MCF's
-1 pt=any sentences not in question form, or forgetting a question mark
15 pts=Bonus for the Best Question

Each series has five rounds, at the end of which the player with the most points gets a prize. I know how many prizes there are, and I know what they form when combined. Our first winner, Scott, may or may not have an idea as well, but the only way to know for sure is to keep playing and win all those pieces for yourself.

Here's how everyone fared in the first round of our second series:

Round 1: B13 R1 23
Total: 23

Round 1: Lorna R1 24
Total: 24

Round 1: Kev Bayer R1 38
Total: 38

Kev Bayer got the 15 point bonus for question #13. Well done!

Now, here are the questions I had in mind:
