Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 2 June 2024

Last week we borrowed from the “looking for a man in finance” TikTok trend to come up with unrealistically strict dating standards for your team names.

This week we’re going the other way.

Instead of overly strict standards, we want you to come up with unbelievably loose standards.

Constantly nagging, dandruff, unemployable

Refuses to apologise in any circumstances, neck beard, starts every other sentence with “well actually”.

Only talks about themselves, pathologically jealous, no teeth

Hung up on their ex, a dozen cats, criminal record

Give us a list of low dating standards for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

WINNERS

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

JACKPOT

The new Indiana Jones film is pretty bad, but a plot point won them a jackpot.

It took them two questions to get past everyone else to be the sole winners of the jackpot.

Doctorate, under 30, has been to space

Emotional intelligence, hand eye coordination, active listening, single

73 Bitcoin in a St George Bank Account

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a huge turnout at the final show of one of our hosts at one of our venues, with many teams coming in themed dress.

Don’t worry, Joe is still hosting on Tuesdays.

We had a guess that Henry Ford was born before the founding of Baghdad, which is off by about 1,100 years.

And our tournament leaders are maintaining their lead as we get closer to the end of the quarter.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 May 2024

You may have come across a clip of a TikTok user listing the qualities she wants in a man.

Some people have commented that her standards are unreasonably strict. Some math boffins worked out that there were just two men in the entire United States who fit the bill.

This week we want you to come up with your own ridiculously strict criteria.

Name begins with T, anaesthesiologist, extensive wine cellar

20 million instagram followers, can name the entire starting lineup of my footy team, thigh gap

6’3’’, owns an entire suburb, never complains about anything

Between 27 & 27 ½, has appeared on the cover of Vogue at least three times, Pisces

Give us the most over the top, unrealistic standards you can think of for 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.

JACKPOT

Knowing about Harry Potter actors paid off.

And Mad Max locations are a useful nugget of information.

TEAM NAMES

Here’s what you claimed to have invented.

I invented this thing where a woman lives in my house and does the cleaning and emotional labour and call it marriage.

I invented risking money on the outcome of sport. It’s called investing in sport.

I put on baggy clothes and fell asleep. I invented PJs.

Stuck a fork in a toaster and created the perm

I put a meat cylinder in bread and called it a hot dog.

Tennis but on a table

Cheese on Toast

We started a fight in a pool and invented water polo.

White People Taco Tuesday

A guy escaped from his tomb. I call it Easter.

I had toast and invented breakfast in bed

I invented a country with Americans that people actually like. I call it Canada.

Sharing dumb facts about obscure topics. It’s called trivia.

Whiskey Tights

Tall Flower

Sexy Fish

Moist Feet

Sketchy Chocolate

Heavy Eiffel Tower

Magic Martian

Sad Pogo Stick

Squelchy Origin

Homesick Fire

Snoop Dogg Tennis

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a team from France, which meant one of our hosts spent a considerable amount of time translating questions into French.

One team was missing their Greek player on the night when we asked about Greek terms.

We asked what city It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is set in, and one team got it wrong.

A player from Colombia DIDN’T get Colombia as a South American country on the Pacific Ocean.

And our quarterly tournament winners are holding their position.
