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.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 25 May 2024

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.

TriviArt

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.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 19 May 2024

A guy went a bit viral recently because he claims to have invented “bottle night”.

Yes, he thinks he invented the idea of hanging out and talking over a bottle of wine.

This week with your team name, we want you to tell us what you “invented”.

I got some chilli and chicken and noodles and invented Thai food.

We take turns driving. I call it “car pooling”.

So I make my voice go up and down using words and rhythm. It’s called “singing”.

You need a ball which you kick around with your foot. It’s a new sport I invented called “football”.

Any dubious claim you have to inventing something will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
