Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 30 August 2015

You probably saw the “origin of your name” app that was floating around on Facebook recently.  Apparently a lot of your friends have names that mean “valiant warrior” or “sensual goddess” or something similar.

It was completely bogus of course, but that didn’t stop legions of people from posting their results, reveling in how awesome their name was.

So this week at iQ Trivia we are going down the same road, and asking you to come up with similarly awesome yet inaccurate name origins.

If your team name is a bogus name origin, you will get a bonus point.

You can use your name, the name of a celebrity, and you can use a first or last name.  As long as it’s a fake name origin story, you will get a point.

Interesting Question of the Day – 19 August 2015

The equator splits the world into two equal halves, but the majority of people live in the northern hemisphere.

Where is the world’s “population equator”?  (i.e. To the nearest degree of latitude, what line would have an equal number of people living north and south of it?)

The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer within two degrees wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
