The world records for men & women in the 400m in athletics & the 400m freestyle in swimming are faster in both cases for men. But in which sport is the women’s world record closest? (So the women’s world record is closest in percentage terms to the men’s world record.)

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about body counts in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and had to clarify that we weren’t talking about how many people Legolas and Aragorn had slept with.

And a team who finished last had a team name that indicated they thought the earth is flat. No big surprise there.

See you next week.
