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

Peter Dutton (probably the most popular choice)

Someone mistook Lou Bega’s Mambo Number 5 for Bob the Builder’s version.

We mentioned Potassium had the symbol K in a lightning round, after we had already asked a question about Potassium’s symbol during round 2… and some teams still didn’t get it after the whole room heard the answer.

The Cardinals are meeting in the Vatican to choose a new Pope.

And there’s a lot of speculation about who is going to take over the spiritual guidance of over a billion Catholics.

For your team name this week, we want to know who you think WON’T be chosen as Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Christ, and Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church.

Literally any woman

Ralph Fiennes from Conclave

Katy Perry, not even for 11 minutes

Elon Musk

That annoying guy who keeps asking questions in bars

Anyone who definitely won’t be elected Pope will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
