INTERESTING MOMENTS

The last place subject at one quiz was about the bistro menu, so we asked a question about one of the bar staff and their favourite dish. Everyone fell for a red herring & stereotyped Jana as having “very strong vegan vibes” even though her favourite dish was the chicken pesto pasta.

A player from Brisbane forgot that Brisbane was a state capital.

We asked about highways in Hawaii… and there was a family on holiday from Hawaii right there who knew the answer.

When we asked a question about a regular monthly event that didn’t happen in three specific months, one team answered with “my period”. Which we can’t disprove, and we really didn’t want to argue about.

A Taylor Swift song was criticised for being “too old”.

Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine song was guessed as a Spice Girls song.

And speaking of Spice Girls, the jackpot didn’t go off on a question about how old Sporty Spice was. We had guesses that ranged from almost 4, to 89. Some of you really can’t do math under pressure.

See you next week.

We had one team in the bonus round bid 15 straight off the bat, and managed to name 10 countries.

Another bid 10, and then was saddened to find out the subject was field hockey, telling us afterwards that he had no idea what field hockey was.

And one team won on their first try against a room full of veterans.  It can happen.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 5 March 2023

INTERESTING MOMENTS

To settle their view on our dilemma question, one player committed to holding an egg in his hand all day on Sunday. We will let you know if he made it the whole day.

Someone tried to game theory the dilemma question, assuming that everyone else would take a deal where they always find $20 when they reach in their pocket, but it’s been taken from someone who needs it. Every other team voted no, and they screwed themselves out of a point.

Someone questioned our math, and half way through explaining it, realised that he was wrong. And admitted as much in front of everyone. Well played!

Just a reminder, when we mention Hitler, even when just reading out an answer, you really don’t need to cheer.

It was remarked that one player who won the bonus round this week really knew a lot about 19 year old girls.

One player thought the six million dollar man was Steve BANNON. No! Very much no!

And one team had to leave early but left us some iQ Trivia cranes.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

There was definitely some collusion at work on a dilemma question when the whole room seemed to agree that having no internet for a year was better than never being able to take an airplane again.

When you can’t think of any NFL teams, you make some up. Like the Orlando Octopi, the Wyoming Widowers, the New York Nancies, or the Boston Buttholes.

Who held the NBA scoring record before Lebron James? “That really tall guy named Jafar”.

See you next week.
