Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 2 December 2018

We’re having fun with actors this week.

For your team name, take a film character and replace them with another character played by the same actor.

Bill and Neo’s Excellent Adventure

Shrek: International Man of Mystery

Magneto would have been really helpful in Lord of the Rings

“If you leave Narnia now, that’ll be the end of it.  I will not look for you, I will not pursue you.  But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you… and I will kill you.”  – Aslan the Lion

Anything that swaps two characters played by the same actor will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team sang Johnny Cash lyrics loud enough for everyone nearby to hear the correct answer clearly.

We asked a current events question on the Canadian jewellery store employees who chased robbers off with swords. One team answered that they asked them to leave, which is technically correct in a manner of speaking, and is about the most stereotypically Canadian way to resolve such a dispute.

The last place subject at one show was Fruit Sodomy. (We’re pretty sure they were just throwing words together.) At one point, a David Attenborough nature documentary playing in the background mentioned an animal was “probing each fruit for ripeness.”

And one of our players appeared on Pointless, which aired just before their show. The bar was good enough to put it on the big screen.

Later on they won the Pointless jackpot.

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 30 November 2018

If you were on a boat in the middle of the ocean, to the nearest whole number, what percent of the earth’s surface would you be able to see?

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 25 November 2018

This week your team names are going to involve games & sport.

We want you to take a sport and make it very different with a minor spelling change.

Footbull – One team is replace with a herd of cattle

Synchronised Slimming – The whole team has to lose the same amount of weight

Tic Tac Toke – The winner smokes a joint

Shockey – Hockey but everyone gets electric shocks at random times

Shrugby – Rugby for people who can’t be bothered

Fishting – Figure that one out yourself.

Anything that makes a minor change to the spelling of a sport will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 24 November 2018

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team couldn’t remember William H. Macy’s name, but they could remember half a dozen films or TV series he had been in, and listing them all was worth a point.

Instead of just answering a question on calculating the speed of light, a team not only got the right answer, they explained the science behind their answer with a formula & diagram.

And one team won despite getting zero out of five on the music bonus round. They weren’t shy in telling us what they thought of us.

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 23 November 2018

A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards.  Like tacocat.

A phonetic palindrome is a phrase that sounds the same when played backwards.

Which of the following is NOT a phonetic palindrome?

“Do geese see god?”

“Funny enough.”

“Let Bob tell.”

or “You’re damn mad, Roy.”

Interesting Question of the Day – 21 November 2018

The earth is round.  Let’s take that as a given.  If you disagree, you’re probably not a fan of iQ Trivia.

In this picture, the man is in Sydney, and he is looking towards Auckland at point D.

How much “lower” is Auckland?  In other words, how much has the earth curved away?

Is it 3.6km, 36km, 360km, 3,600km, or 36,000km?
