This week we want you to think about world leaders… and turn them into films or TV series or song lyrics or expressions.
May Fair Lady
Raging Turnbull
Trudeau Lies
And because the XI in the name of Chinese leader Xi Jinping is pronounced “she”, the jokes pretty much write themselves. Xi’s got a ticket to ride, Isn’t Xi lovely, Xi moves in mysterious ways, Every little thing Xi does is magic.
Anything that makes a pun out of the name of a political leader will get a point.
Have an interesting week.
Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

We struggled to find a way to ask about the recent events in Charlottesville that wasn’t horribly depressing.
With actual Nazis marching in the streets waving actual swastika flags, it became tough to find the lighter side of things.

To be fair, the chemotherapy was just as aggressive as the cancer.
To be fair, Anne Frank wasn’t even paying rent.
To be fair, Luke Skywalker killed more people than Darth Vader.
Anything that helps Donald Trump “be fair” in blaming both sides for something tragic or unpleasant will get you a bonus point.
