This Week in iQ Trivia – 7 October 2023

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

We could have asked them anything about ice hockey and they’re confident they would have gotten it.

TEAM NAMES

What do people get wrong about you?

I don’t work in IT, I’m just Indian

Just because I’m in comms doesn’t mean I want to talk to you

I’m a vet and I haven’t put my finger up any bums today (in a professional capacity)

I’m Thor, but I’m not tall, blond, and Nordic

I’m Irish but I’m not always this drunk

Yes I’m Catholic, no we don’t worship Mary

Not all gingers named Dougal are Scottish

Charlie is tall and lanky, but not all of him is

Just because we’re doctors doesn’t mean we’re smart

Just because we’re old doesn’t mean we know 80s music

Yes I do pub trivia, no I’m not a burden to society

Yes we come to trivia every week, no we’ve never won

You go to trivia every week, you must be smart

Team “Happy Birthday Bill ya c*nt” doesn’t always shoehorn Bagpuss into the team name

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Cities beginning with M? You know, like Morocco or Madagascar.

When one team couldn’t come up with discus, they said “that heavy frisbee thing”.

When trying to name all six Oktoberfest breweries, one player came up with Budweiser, Heineken, and Asahi, and wound up naming zero correct answers.

And when they didn’t know what Sydney beach was mentioned in the Beach Boys song Surfin’ USA, one team made up lyrics to suit their answer. Which is worth a point.

See you next week.

Darlinghurst Trivia – The Beacham – Mondays at 7pm

Darlinghurst trivia is kicking off in a new venue at The Beacham on Oxford Street.

So for anyone in Darlo, Paddington, or anywhere in the Eastern Suburbs, your Monday trivia is sorted.

Get your team together every Monday at 7pm and prepare yourselves for Australia’s most interesting trivia.

darlinghurst trivia

We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got dinner sorted with a full menu of gourmet bites and pub classics, we’ve got the bar staff all set to keep you satisfied, and we’ve got great prizes to give away.

In short, we have got everything you need to start your week off right.

The Beacham isn’t your average pub, and iQ Trivia isn’t average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out if you are into beer and trivia. (And if you’re not, we have no idea why you are still reading.)

If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But to be honest, that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll probably have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions that you won’t see coming. We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but will enjoy arguing about with your friends. The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we provide.

As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to [email protected] with Beacham in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.

And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have additional information to help you out.

Book yourselves in for the best trivia in Darlinghurst, Paddington, or anywhere on Oxford Street by calling 9331 2575.

And we will see you at 7:00 every Monday at The Beacham.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 1 October 2023

You’ve probably been stereotyped at some point in your life.

For your team name this week, we want to know what people consistently get wrong about you.

Yes, I’m Irish. No, I don’t sound like a leprechaun.

I’m 25, not 40. I’m just in terrible shape.

Why can’t I be covered in tattoos and be a kindergarten teacher?

I’m not flirting with you, I just work for tips.

Don’t assume I’m smart because I wear glasses.

I’m not distant & mysterious, I just don’t like you.

Anything that people get wrong about you will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

You know that Pharrell song? “I have a really big hat” or something like that?

On a bonus question about how long it would take to drive around the equator, we got guessed ranging from 6 to 500.

And one player from Italy hoped we would have an Italian question, right before we asked a question about the Gregorian calendar taking over from the Julian calendar. So two Italians in one question.

See you next week.

A team with multiple people from Indiana got the bonus round on Indiana wrong.

We asked about Queen Victoria, and someone asked if we meant Queen Victoria the First or the Second.

And a jackpot question where we gave a species and asked for the Australian food resulted in a guess of Lamingtons. You know, from all those herds of wild lamingtons that can be found across Australia.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that one team has been choosing the last place subject by just hitting “random article” on Wikipedia. That’s how we got questions on the Headcorn & Maidstone Junction Light Railway, and obscure 19th century English railway that was never actually built.

The police turned up to deal with a disturbance outside of one of our venues, and stayed to listed to a few questions. We are single handedly reducing the effectiveness of the police.

One player was caught cheating, though apparently it was without any malice. It actually didn’t occur to him that looking up answers on your phone was against the rules.

You know that Jimmy Buffet song about margaritas? What was it? Margarita City? Margaritaburg? Margaritapolis?

And one team had two answers down for the minefield bonus round, and argued intensely about whether they should go for a third. We didn’t tell them that both of their answers were already wrong. They argued for five minutes for absolutely no reason.

See you next week.
