The name Linus was not named after a detergent. The name Linus comes from the Greek and has a long historical and mythological significance. In Greek mythology, Linus was the son of Apollo and a muse. Later, the name also became known in the Christian tradition as Pope Linus.

It is possible that there is a detergent with the name Linus, but it is unlikely that the name of the detergent was derived directly from the ancient name. The naming of products is usually based on marketing considerations and branding strategies, and it is unlikely that the ancient name Linus played a role here.

It is therefore unlikely that the name Linus was named after a detergent. The naming of products and people is usually independent of each other and based on different historical, cultural and commercial considerations.



so I have no idea

After reviewing the thread several times, I have decided that the win goes to Bluff. He at least got the first part right, the realization that the name Linus has nothing to do with the detergent Sunil.

Part of the task or my questions was "Or is/was it completely different?"

But why does the name have nothing to do with the detergent?
You could easily find that out using Google

"Name Sunil detergent"

and thus confirm the 1st part.

Was the puzzle solvable? Definitely very easy, just a little thinking and googling.

Was the puzzle mean? Maybe a little. What was so special about the period from 1988 to 2012 again?

Was the puzzle illogical/senseless? Definitely not

Congratulations to Bluff, please let me know via PN how you would like your prize.

I had to shake my head at some of the statements, then facepalm, then have a good laugh about it.

Thanks to everyone who "took part" in this little interlude to pass the time until the advent calendar.

So now the solution is that name and detergent have nothing to do with each other.
.?
🤔Or am I still on the wrong track?

( sorry if I made you shake your head and facepalm, I meant no offense...)

I'm still stumped too. If the solution is that the name Linus has nothing to do with a detergent, why even ask the question "Why was the name Linus named after a detergent"? I think all the people who were involved had a think before they posted their solution. With or without Google.


Congratulations to Bluff.
