Uncategorized, ,

Sydney trivia is on every Tuesday, and it’s just a stone’s throw from Wynyard so it’s easy to find.

It’s at The Occidental at 43 York Street in Sydney and it is kicking off every Tuesday at 7:15pm.

We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got great food from the bistro, we’ve got happy hour prices until 6:30 (so get in early), and we’ve got prizes courtesy of The Occi.

In short, we have got everything you need for a great night out in Sydney.

So when you finish work on a Tuesday, you can either go home right away, or you can assemble your friends in Wynyard for the most interesting trivia in Sydney.  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 will 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 homework@iqtrivia.com.au with Occidental 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 Sydney by calling 9299 2531.

And we will see you at 7:15pm every Tuesday at Wynyard at The Occi.

Proposed to my wife

Said “I love you” on the first date

Forgot a condom… twice

Jumped a foot in the air when I had 6 inches of headroom

I used nail polish remover as eye makeup remover

I called the teacher mum

Lighting the filter end of a durry not once, not twice, but three times in the same night

Tried to make toast in the microwave

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a team guess that the medical drama House starred The Rock. That would have been a VERY different show.

One of our teams seems to be getting used to winning bar tabs.

And one team argued the answer on a question about the Millennium Falcon, on the basis that it doesn’t actually exist.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 7 August 2022

Uncategorized,

Sometimes you do stupid things. This week we want to hear about them.

Specifically, we want to know the dumbest thing you did while your brain was on auto-pilot.

I drove all the way to the office on my day off.

I microwaved dinner and then dropped it in the bin.

I waited for a stop sign to turn green.

Grabbed a roll of toilet paper, walked to the toilet to replace the empty roll, and dropped the new roll in right in the bowl.

Any stupid thing you did without thinking will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
