Interesting Question of the Day – 27 August 2018

Uncategorized, ,

The world records for both the 100m sprint and the marathon indicate that over both distances, the fastest man is faster than the fastest woman.

Over which of those distances is the women’s record closest to the men’s record?  (We mean proportionally.)

The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 August 2018

Uncategorized,

This week we are looking at stereotypes.

For your team name, we want you to tell us what’s the most stereotypical thing that has ever happened to you.

Now this risks getting into dangerous or offensive territory, so it’s probably best if you deal with stereotypes of groups someone on your team is a part of.

It could be the most Australian thing that ever happened to you. It could be the most suburban thing that ever happened to you. It could be the most bogan thing that ever happened to you.

Anything that tells the tale of your most stereotypical moment will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 25 August 2018

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

These newbies were the only ones who entered the jackpot round, and they managed to not talk themselves out of the right answer.

And these veterans won first place AND the jackpot.

You came up with plenty of unimpressive and misspelled super heroes.

The Diddler

The Incredible Hunk

Iron Nan

Slack Panther

Black Manther – A black man on the prowl

Ponder Woman

Deadfool

Cabwoman

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A Colombian player failed to correctly answer the jackpot question, which was on the coat of arms of Colombia. His teammates won’t let him live that down for a long time.

Dacryphilia was defined as the desire to see people getting “dacked”.

One played complained that a question about famous figures named James was too hard, before being baffled by a closed door. If doors are too complicated for you, trivia will probably be too hard also. (That may explain why they proceeded to cheat repeatedly, to fail at cheating every time they tried, and to come in last before quitting at half time.)

And one team complained that the very first question on the political leanings of American celebrities was “way too hard” and then proceeded to get 5/5 on it. If you get 5/5 on a question, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS SAYING IT’S TOO HARD!

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 19 August 2018

We’re having fun with superheros this week.

But we don’t want conventional superheros.

We want you to take a superhero, change one letter in their name, and tell us what the new superhero would be like.

superhero trivia

Supermon – It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a Jamaican stereotype

Greed Lantern – He wants ALL the rings

The Flush – The fastest sewage engineer alive

Mr Strange – He dropped out of medical school

Iran Man – The Ayatollah suits up

Faptain America – Figure that one out yourself

Any team name that changes one letter in a superheros name will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

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

This team had two people from Cyprus, and lucked out when our jackpot question was on alcohol… from Cyprus.

TEAM NAMES

You were very good at coming up with ineffectual pick up lines.

Words can’t describe your beauty. Numbers can. 2/10.

Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re a 3/10.

Have you got a pen? Because you should probably get back to it before the farmer notices you’re missing.

Do you come here often? Because you shouldn’t.

Do you like STIs? And I’m not talking about the car.

Nice shoes. Do they come in women’s sizes?

So do you like… stuff?

You remind me of my mother.

You’re invited to my pants party.

You must have fallen from heaven. You’ve got blood all over your face.

You must have jumped out of hell.

I have chlamydia.

Hey baby, you look like garbage. I’d love to take you out.

Your teeth are like stars. They come out at night.

Whoa! You look like I need a drink.

You smell better when you’re awake.

You could be a part time model.

TRIVIART

Fat Dr Seuss

Moist Toothpick

Heavy Donkey

Drunk Graph

Tasty Mermaid

Delightful Watt

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team taught one of our hosts that the Friends theme music was originally going to be Shiny Happy People by REM and got a bonus point for their efforts.

When they couldn’t remember the name of the 30 Rock character Jenna Maroney, one team named four other roles played by the same actress.

We asked about the most common countries of birth in the Australian census, and one team forgot to list Australia.

A team came up to us with the answer to a bonus question two minutes after another team had gotten the answer and we had announced it to the whole room.

We asked a question about Canadian Football. We read out the answer & were in the midst of explaining that we would give credit for American football when half the room erupted with angry protests, so we decided if they were going to interrupt us explaining that we were about to give them points, we wouldn’t give them those points after all.

And on two occasions, teams that won prizes left before the results were announced, and others got the prizes by default. IT PAYS TO STAY RIGHT TO THE END PEOPLE!

See you next week.
