INTERESTING MOMENTS
A team who assured us they were f”ckin awesome at trivia was deeply confused about a question asking them to name 5 countries that border Switzerland. They managed a total score of 1 point over the first half before quitting.
A team was rescued on one question by a teammate who turned up in the second half when she got a rugby league question. A team full of guys had no idea. The one girl on the team broke the stereotype.
The most common word ending in “le”? Jiggle was where on team’s mind went first.
And our leading teams didn’t win this week, so the race for the quarterly tournament title got closer.

Molonglo trivia is kicking off in a brand new venue at The Denman Kitchen and Wine Bar in Denman Prospect.
So for anyone in Molonglo or Weston or anywhere in South Canberra, your Wednesday trivia is sorted.
Get your team together every Wednesday at 7pm and prepare yourselves for Australia’s most interesting trivia.
We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got dinner sorted with a full menu of classic pub favourites including the Wednesday burger special, and we’ve got great prizes to give away.
In short, we have got everything you need to get you over the mid week hump.
The Denman isn’t your average establishment, and iQ Trivia isn’t your average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out if you are up for dinner, drinks, and arguing with your friends.
If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But honestly, that probably won’t help. 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 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 Denman 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 Molonglo trivia by booking in directly on their website.
And we will see you at 7:00 every Monday at The Denman Kitchen and Wine Bar.
This week we’re taking note of things that are only true in movies.
Make your team name something that happens in movies but never in real life for a bonus point.
If you wake up in hospital, you can just pull the IV and monitors out
Women investigating strange noises at night should do so in their underwear
One match will produce enough light to illuminate Yankee Stadium
Anyone speaking in a posh British accent is the villain
Lipstick never rubs off
Detectives can only solve a case after they’ve been suspended
If you need to blend into a crowd, there will always be a parade passing by
Any things that only happen in movies will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
