Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 22 December 2024

You’re going to be hearing a lot of Christmas songs this week.

Let’s make them realistic.

For your team name, you will get a bonus point if you make a Christmas song more realistic.

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me… nothing because who the hell give gifts for 12 straight days?

All I want for Christmas is to not have to deal with your passive aggressive aunt

Joy to the world… I have two weeks off

I just gave birth in a manger. I don’t need you playing the drums.

Any realistic Christmas songs will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

One of our hosts knew they would be asking a know your host question about giving blood, so he gave blood the day before the quiz.

When we asked about the shortest commercial flight in the world, it turned out that one player had been on that one minute long flight.

One team made fridge magnets out of several of their TriviArt entries over the year.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that some teams have been getting the homework question wrong because they were plugging it into AI and trusting it to get the right answer. Well do that at your own peril.

We were contacted by family in Sweden asking if we had Christmas themed trivia questions. We threw a little quiz together, and now iQ Trivia has been hosted in another country. That makes four so far.

Who has the initials AA and has won the Australian Open? Anthony Albanese.

And our quarterly tournament has one week left to go, and it looks like first place is mathematically decided. But there are still several teams who can have the highest average score.
