Originally an unofficial American holiday, the date coincides with the last day of school in September. The day encourages students to ask more questions in classrooms.

How to Celebrate?

  • They say that there are no stupid questions. So, don't hesitate, ask stupid questions and if someone asks you a stupid question, have a stupid answer ready.

Did You Know…

…that the question mark (?) originated as a contraction of the Latin word quaestiō , meaning question? According to this theory, people in the Middle Ages, contracted the q and o by putting the o under the q. Over time, the q and the o turned into the question mark (?) we know today.
