In 1989 the Dean of Johns Hopkins Medical School made the following comment. “Brightness is not everything. It would be very unfair to take a 15 year old and put them in a room alone with a 75 year old.”
What TV series was he referring to?

Everyone reading this either has children, or was a child at some point.
And every one of you knows that kids will have a meltdown over some pretty stupid things.
For your team name this week, we want you to give us a particularly silly reason a young child had a tantrum.
She cried because we didn’t invite her to our wedding, which took place seven years before she was born.
He was angry because his sister was looking out of the window on his side of the car.
“I want the blue cup. NO! NOT THAT ONE! I WANT THE OTHER BLUE CUP THAT IS IDENTICAL IN EVERY RESPECT TO THIS ONE!”
“But I want to play in the polar bear enclosure at the zoo!”
My son was angry because a tree was taller than he was.
My daughter wanted to eat crayons for dessert.
Any stupid toddler meltdowns will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
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
They won banknotes, for knowing about the people on Australian banknotes.
We’re not sure if any of them were French lawyers, but they got a question on the French word for lawyer that won them cash.
And both of these teams got lucky (we’re pretty sure it was luck) on Northern Territory Chief Ministers. (One of them nearly talked themselves out of the right answer.)

INTERESTING MOMENTS
A lightning round question asked about household objects beginning with F that circulate air resulted in a player having to pass, despite the fact that he was standing under a fan and we were pointing at it.
After years of bonus questions telling people the first team to write down the right answer & show it to us wins, one team immediately wrote down “the right answer”. It’s cheeky, it’s clever in it’s own way, and somehow, we had never seen anyone try it. So we gave them a point.
We asked about the height of a 37m tall object, and got guesses ranging from 15m to 200m… because most people have no sense of scale.
When we asked for African countries spelled with the letter Z, one team came back with Zuid-Afrika, which is South Africa in Afrikaans. Which was a good solution, considering that we didn’t explicitly say we wanted the answer in English. Of course, on the same question, another team answered with “that fake country Eddie Murphy was from in Coming to America.”
One team held on to their answer sheet after we called on the to be handed in, and got zero points for round 2.
And finally, we’ve noticed that during lightning rounds, teams often tend to send men up to answer questions. At one point this week, in a lightning round, there were five women up at the front of the room.
See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
Putting events in order can be tough because getting one wrong can put everything else out of order. And when you put the birth or Jonah Hill before the Battle of Gallipoli, it’s going to be tough to do well.
We had a bit of a celebrity sighting at one of our shows.
Yes, it’s Dunny Man, who it turns out is pretty good at trivia, but not so good at homework questions.
And we nearly gave away a jackpot, but one team couldn’t quite spell Golda Meir. Started with Mayer, then changed it to Meir, and then went one change to far, settling on Mier.
Close, but you’ll have to come back next week to win it.
See you next week.
Name the celebrity.
Also, what have all of this weeks interesting question pictures got in common?
