Last week a team at one of our shows argued that Australia’s Prime Minister in the early 70s was Goth Whitlam.
After searching for that and assuring Google that we didn’t mean Gough Whitlam, it came up with this photo.
So this week we want you to make minor changes to someone’s name that would make them a very different person.
Tony Rabbit
Hugh Jackwoman
Kim Kartrashian
Donald Stump
Any minor change to the spelling of someone’s name will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING ANSWERS

When asked if anyone was still alive who was in Hitler’s bunker, one team argued that Hitler had a pet giant tortoise that is still alive aged well over 100. Seeing as we didn’t explicitly exclude animals and weren’t in a position to disprove them, we gave them a point.
HALL OF SHAME MOMENTS

The team who claimed that Australia’s Prime Minister in the early 1970s was GOTH Whitlam.
The founder of iQ Trivia messing up one of the bonus questions. Hey, nobody is perfect.

You can catch him every Monday at 7:00 at Walt & Burley on the Kingston Foreshore.
Recently at iQ Trivia we came across this photo.
