This Week in iQ Trivia – Week of 9 February 2019

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

This team came in last, but still knew enough about German cities to win the jackpot.

It was a big week for jackpots with three going off.

TEAM NAMES

You gave us plenty of misheard lyrics

Dyslexics on fire

Go go Jason Waterfalls

Bald headed woman, bald headed woman with fleas

Revved up like a douche

We built this city on sausage rolls

The girl with colitis goes by

Now I’m feeling so fly like a cheese steak

I believe that the hot dogs go on

Dressed for some sex

Let’s get quizzical

Seven Asian armies

Like a virgin, f*cked for the very first time

If you wanna be my mother, you gotta get with my dad

Stuck in the middle with glue

Cheap wine and a female goat

Concrete jungle wet dream tomato

Alex the seal

Sweet home and banana

F*ck the Casbah

Hold me closer Tony Danza

Shave tonight

Feel the beat from the tangerine

Who’s gonna shave me

Pappadum preach

I can see clearly now, Lorraine has gone

TriviArt

Bouncy Apple Lightbulb

Beautiful Beer

Sexy Bearded Monkey

Unnecessary Sumo

Squeaky Pineapple

Fisting Pirate

Soggy Flamingo

Equine Tree

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked a bonus question about the largest country without rivers, someone guessed Australia. Sure we’re facing droughts, but really? Australia has no rivers?

We were giving the lyrics to a song for a bonus question, and we got as far as saying “hot, like, me, don’t, cha”, before the first team was willing to hazard a guess. And they didn’t even guess the song whose title we had just said seconds earlier.

And one of our regulars proved she could write backwards as quickly & clearly as forwards.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 3 February 2019

We’ve all done it.

You’ve been singing along to a song for years before realising that you’ve been singing the wrong lyrics.

This week we want you to channel that ignorance into your team name.

Take me down to the prairie dog city

There’s a baboon on the right

She was a fax machine, she kept her modem clean

There ain’t no hole in that girl

We don’t need no sex vacation

Anything that is a misheard lyric you’ve sung will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 2 February 2019

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

WINNERS

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

Big Bin Chicken

Big Melanoma

Big Thong

Big Halal Snack Pack

Silky Eiffel Tower

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Two teams tied for first place, and chose to split the prizes.

When faced with a bonus question and the hint that the person we were looking for was black, one team answered Martin Freeman.

PIC

Because apparently this guy is black.

One of our dilemma questions asked if people would rather lose a had or half of their teeth. We didn’t notice until after we had asked the question that one of our players only had one arm.

Instead of just answering a question on the Battle of Culloden, one team gave us a short essay on the details of the battle. They had really brushed up on the last place subject and wanted to show off their knowledge

When we asked about common words beginning with BRO, an unusually large number of teams went with “brothel”. A rather telling answer perhaps.

We asked a question about Detroit when a player from Detroit was attending just her second show. It seems her whole life had been leading to that moment, and she will be coasting on that answer for a long time.

And when one of our hosts found his microphone wouldn’t work, he managed the entire show on just his unamplified voice.

See you next week.
