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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We played Dirrrty by Christina Aguilera, and one team guessed that it was the Australian National Anthem. That would make official occasions VERY different.

One team answered Korea to a question where the answer was Japan… and then tried to claim that they were the same thing. Uhhhh… no. We pretty sure both hundreds of millions of Korean & Japanese people would disagree with you.

And our current events question about Quadball? One team thought that was dodgeball played on quad bikes. It’s wrong, but someone REALLY needs to invent that sport.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 July 2022

You may have seen the He/She’s a 10 but… trend on Twitter or TikTok.

This week, we want you to come up with your own “He/She’s a 10 but” comparison for your team name. And make sure you give us the result.

She’s a 10 but she clips her toenails in bed… 6.

He’s a 10 but he goes to the shops barefoot… 5.

She’s a 10 but she has a lot of guy friends… 10… nothing wrong with that.

He’s a 4 but your dog loves him… 8.

She’s a 10 but she calls her father “daddy”… 7.

They’re a 10 but they’re a regular at iQ Trivia… 11.

Any “He/She’s a 10 but” comparison will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

WINNERS

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

JACKPOT

The biggest news this week was the biggest jackpot in iQ Trivia history going off at $598 by a team who knew just enough about soap opera settings.

And they knew Malaysian states well enough to win $50.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team shot from last place at halftime to first place at full time. The gambler’s question did its thing.

Beginning with the letter G, what currency was used in the Netherlands before the Euro? Ganja, according to one team.

One player was caught googling the cast of Inglourious Basterds right after we asked a question about it. He claimed he was on Hinge. (You’re not making us like you more.)

A team of Sri Lankans didn’t answer Sri Lanka on a cricket question when it was one of the five correct answers.

And one team argued about whether to risk it and go for a fourth point in our minefield bonus round or play it safe with the three points they thought they had. They argued for a good five minutes before opting to play it safe… and then realised that all three of the answers they went with were wrong.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 17 July 2022

Here’s the situation. The world is ending.

A spaceship is set to take 1,000 of the best & brightest to a new planet to keep the human race going.

Novak Djokovic

Oprah

Kanye

James Corden

Remember, some names will likely come up more than once. You can’t all say Donald Trump.

But tell us who is overestimating their own importance and we will give you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our hosts got a nice message from one of their teams.

A team that fancied themselves as being good at history got 1 out of 5 when we asked them to put a series of events in order. (Which is why you should never say what you’re good at.)

A passer by who wasn’t playing heard a question on English cities and yelled out “AMSTERDAM”. Luckily, nobody listened to him.

One team saw a picture of Prince Andrew as a young helicopter pilot in the Falklands War, and guessed that it was Harry Potter.

And one team wrote out all the lyrics to Advance Australia Fair to try to get a question right… and then didn’t.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Two players both made it all the way to the end of a lightning round.

Beginning with the letter B, what do you get when you come 3rd in the Olympics? You get banned according to one player in a lightning round.

We asked for the actor who played the albino in the Da Vinci Code, and someone said it was Scott Morrison, the whitest guy in the universe.

We gave a hint that a place we were looking for was in Africa… and someone said New Zealand.

And the gambler’s question reversed a huge first half lead and several bonus points, dropping the leaders to 3rd. And sure enough the runners up could have won, but forgot to indicate how much they were gambling. Yes… the gambler’s question did what it’s designed to do.

See you next week.

And we had a bunch of end of financial year corporate shows, including one involving players both in person and on Zoom.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 June 2022

We want you to make a movie or TV series gay.

The Lion Queen

Remember, this is meant to be lighthearted. It’s not meant to be an excuse to throw around a bunch of lazy slurs. And if you can’t think of anything, any film of TV series with “day” in the title gives you a pretty easy option.

Have an interesting week.
