Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 3 December 2017

December 3, 2017Uncategorizedpolitics, team name bonus point, triviaiqtrivia

A lot of politicians have been brought down by Section 44 of the Constitution, and there has been talk of changing the constitution to remove the restrictions preventing dual citizens from sitting in Parliament.

We like to be helpful, so this week for your team name we want you to come up with something new to put into Section 44. Instead of being a citizen of a foreign country or having a criminal conviction or being bankrupt, what else should keep you out of Parliament?

Charging extra for tomato sauce on a pie

Owning more than one investment property

Not remembering Don Bradman’s batting average

Using the term “un-Australian” more than once a month

Anything that you think should stop someone from sitting in Parliament will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 2 December 2017

December 2, 2017Uncategorizedtrivia, triviart, week in reviewiqtrivia

Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

WINNERS

If you won this week, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOTS

When one person on your team is an expert on US Presidents, and another is a medical student, you’re likely to win a jackpot when the questions are on US Presidents and medication.

They managed to win first place, and because the only other team that knew the answer opted not to play, these guys also won the jackpot.

TEAM NAMES

There were plenty of inappropriate quotation marks.

I “don’t” have syphilis

“Medical” marijuana for my “glaucoma”

I’m “not” a duel citizen

You’re “adopted”

Extra points will be given for particularly “interesting” answers

The “cool” kids

We’ll “take care” of you

She said “no”

Urinal cakes are not for “consumption”

Used mattress “gently soiled”

Netflix and “Chill”

Obama “wiretapped” my phone

We “love” iQ Trivia

Remedial Thai “massage”

TRIVIART

Indecisive Bridge

Dirty Platypus

Scrumptious Platypus (or was it Scrum Chess Platypus)

Punchy Lamp

Fancy Fire Truck

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We were asked to define the word “word”. By a linguistics student no less.

We asked what states Washington DC lies between, and one team answered New York and Florida. It doesn’t border either of those states, but it does technically lie between them. In this case, being technically correct got a point.

One (rather drunk) trivia interloper, perhaps unaware that a written quiz was being conducted, was about to say the answer to a question out loud, and every team who knew the answer simultaneously shouted her down.

When asked for a 10 letter synonym for thief that didn’t use any letters twice, one team came up with “kleptomani”. That’ll teach us for not saying it had to be an actual word in English.

See you next week.
