Chess but all the pieces are Kings

Get arrested in Grand Theft Auto and you can’t play again for 20 years

Poker but all the cards are transparent

Any ruined games will get a bonus point.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 10 May 2025

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

WINNERS

It was a great day for this team, as they won the jackpot a few minutes after putting up a record score of 88 points.

They got nearly every point it was mathematically possible to get. Team name bonus, three bonus questions, 5 on the gambler’s, TriviArt bonus points. But even still, they got no points in the lightning round.

TEAM NAMES

We’ve got a new Pope, but you had plenty of speculations about who wasn’t getting the job.

Peter Dutton (probably the most popular choice)

Voldemort

Clive Palmer

Cardi(nal) B

JD Vance – Pope killer

Dua Lipa

Kim Petras – The throat GOAT

Anyone who rejects the validity of the 1958 papal conclave

Schapelle Corby

Germaine Greer

Pauline Hanson

Harvey Weinstein

Barack Obama

John Wick

Tom McCarthy – Director of Spotlight

Diddy

Stormy Daniels

Stanley Tucci

George Pell

TriviArt

Albo Post Election

Spectacular Champ

Tower Blame

Mashed Potato

Beautiful Birthday Cake

Sock Puppet Conclave

Philanthropist Predator

Popcorn Bob

INTERESTING MOMENTS

The guitarist Carlos Santana was listed as Carlos Sultana.

Someone mistook Lou Bega’s Mambo Number 5 for Bob the Builder’s version.

We mentioned Potassium had the symbol K in a lightning round, after we had already asked a question about Potassium’s symbol during round 2… and some teams still didn’t get it after the whole room heard the answer.

And with their record score, Diversity Council moved into first place on highest average, with Bagpuss ahead of the pack by a win in the overall quarterly tournament.
