INTERESTING MOMENTS
One team perfectly calculated a hypothetical BMI in a jackpot round, and then wrote the digits in the wrong order.
Another team got two correct answers, but came up short because they were one letter off on one of them.
The reggae band Magic was described as “that one hit wonder that played the song about marrying her anyway”.
One of our hosts was gifted a bottle of wine for getting married.
Instead of Jon Lovitz, we got an answer of “the fat Jewish guy from Rat Race”, which is definitely not wrong.
We asked about adjectives in song titles, and one team came up with You’re Making Me Horny, Don’t Worry Be Horny, and Drop It Like It’s Horny.
See you next week.

We had to remind one player that when she sings the answer to a music question, other people can hear her. Then we had to remind her two more times.
On the other hand, another team asked us to sing a national anthem.
When we played a 90s band, one player said “I have no idea, so let’s just say Oasis.” Naturally, it was Oasis.
See you next week.
Canterbury trivia is on every Wednesday in the Inner West at the Canterbury Hotel.
From Canterbury to Hurlstone Park to Dulwich Hill to Marrickville, it’s hands down the best way to spend a Wednesday evening and it kicks off every week at 7pm.
We take trivia pretty seriously, and they’ve got a great location for it. Combine thought provoking questions with dinner from nearby restaurants and prizes to compete for, and you’ve got a recipe for a perfect Wednesday night out.
So every Wednesday assemble a diverse team of your friends and pop in for some Canterbury trivia in Sydney’s Inner West. 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 [email protected] with Canterbury Trivia 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 the Inner West by calling 9787 9656.
And we will see you at 7pm every Wednesday at the Canterbury Hotel.
