The name "Three Dog Night" supposedly refers to an expression meaning a night so cold that one needs to sleep while embracing three dogs. It's unclear whether the term originated with Inuit or with Indigenous Australians.

Mistake perhaps in Question 2: While living in Southsea Arthur Conan Doyle helped form Portsmouth AFC, the city's first football club. Common myth holds that Conan Doyle played as Portsmouth F.C.'s first goalkeeper; however, Conan Doyle played for an amateur side that disbanded in 1894 and had no connection to the Portsmouth F.C. of today which was not formed until 1898

The first goalkeeper of the Portsmouth professional team was Matt Reilly.
