I'm putting together a "SPARQL by Example" tutorial, which is, as
the name suggests, a step-by-step introduction to SPARQL taught
almost entirely through complete, runnable SPARQL queries.
So far, I've gathered a great deal of example queries myself, but I
know that many subscribers to these lists probably have favorite
queries of their own that you might be willing to share with me.
I liked the DBpedia queries someone has collected here:
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3576
Might try to dig up some more examples.

I'm looking for:
1) SPARQL queries
2) ...that can be run by anyone (no private data sets)
3a)...either by running the query against a public SPARQL endpoint
3b)...or by using a public SPARQL endpoint that will fetch HTTP-
accessible RDF data (e.g. sparql.org or demo.openlinksw.com)
4) ...that answers a real* question
5) ...and that is fun!**
* real is in the eye of the beholder, I imagine, but I'm not looking
for "finds the predicates that relate ex:s and ex:o in this sample
RDF graph"
** fun is also in the eye of the beholder. fun can be a query on fun
data; a clever query that may illustrate a particular SPARQL
construct ("trick"); a query that integrates interesting
information; a query with surprising results; etc.
thanks to anyone who is able to contribute!

PS I plan to make the tutorial slides available online under an
appropriate CC license once they are completed.
