INTERESTING MOMENTS
One player learned why you should write down the answer to a bonus question instead of yelling it out loud enough that the team next to you can hear, and write it down themselves.
One team answered each question in words, and in pictures. They literally drew a picture of every answer.
Every team got a question on the origins of Apartheid… except for the one team that had a South African on their team.
And our leaders in the quarterly tournament extended their lead.

Sydney Brewery Surry Hills Trivia – Tuesdays at 6:30
Surry Hills Trivia
Surry Hills trivia Tuesday is kicking off weekly right near Central Station.
Tuesday Trivia
It’s at Sydney Brewery’s Surry Hills location in the Rydges Hotel at 28 Albion Street, and it’s every Tuesday at 6:30pm.
We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got the kitchen all set to feed you, a fully stocked bar, and we’ve got great prizes courtesy of Sydney Brewery.
Sydney Brewery – Surry Hills Trivia
Sydney Brewery doesn’t do average beer, and iQ Trivia doesn’t do average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out… unless you hate trivia… and arguing with your friends… and pubs… in which case you might as well stay home. Weirdo!
If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. You are a very dull person, and that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions 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 every Tuesday.
Tuesday’s special in the kitchen is Steak Frites, so we’ve got you covered for dinner too.
As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to get the homework question every week, just send an e-mail to homework@iqtrivia.com.au with Sydney Brewery Surry Hills in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.
And the Facebook page dedicated to the quiz will have additional information to help you out.
Book yourselves in for Surry Hills trivia Tuesday on 9289 0028 or on their website.
And we will see you at 6:30pm every Tuesday at Sydney Brewery in Surry Hills.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
On a gambler’s question asking for a sport, one team took the time to write down 6 sports and then asked “is it any of these”… and got one of them right.
There was a Welsh language question which a player who was FROM Wales got wrong.
Who starred in Black Swan? The Rock and Kevin Hart. Well… they have range.
And a loss for our leaders made our quarterly tournament much closer.
