Pub quiz questions

[TyphooToffee]

There was a question in the Telegraph Pub Quiz last week that I thought I'd mention. The question was:

After the Latin name for which capital city is the chemical element hafnium named?

I have little knowledge of Latin but I used my powers of reasoning and got it right. I'm pretty sure others here will figure it out.

Everton had a shirt sponsor that was something similar.

By process of elimination and googling it I can confirm it's Copenhagen.

Thanks for playing.

Anyone can look up anything on the web as we know.
But what’s the point of googling in a pub quiz?
It’s like cheating at golf - totally pointless. You either
know it or you don’t. It’s only a bit of fun at the end of the
day anyway.
