This Week in iQ Trivia – 27 September 2025

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

Two teams won a jackpot about Edith Piaf. We’re pretty sure neither of them knew anything about Edith Piaf before the question was asked, but you’ve got to be in it to win it.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had one team bid that they could get a lot of questions wrong in our wrong answers only round, without understanding what it was. The thing is, he works in real estate, and should have known better than to put his hand up during an auction when you don’t know what you’re bidding on.

One venue had a team who wasn’t officially playing, but still argued more about the questions than any of the official teams.

And our quarterly tournament has wound up, with the Richard Gere Appreciation Society taking the top prize.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Countries spelled using the letters GER in order apart from Germany? How about Singerpore or Gerpan?

Last week when asked for the title of a song, one team said it was the song our host lost his virginity to. It was a song that was released when he was 10. This we they used the same joke answer about a song that was released when he was 43.

One team brought their 10 year old son along… which was great, except that the special subject was 80s Porn Stars.

When he found out the jackpot answer was Homeland, one player exclaimed “I loved Homeland”, though he couldn’t remember the names of any episodes.

And with one week left in the quarterly tournament, we still have a few teams in the running. Nothing is decided yet.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked what people often leave for Santa’s reindeer that they shouldn’t, and got responses of cocaine, plutonium, and guns. Which is… not wrong, but makes us concerned that someone has been leaving cocaine, plutonium, and guns for Santa’s reindeer.

When one of our hosts played Country Roads by John Denver on a night when we were having audio difficulties, the entire room joined in and sang along. Normally we advise people not to sing the answers, but on a song like that, we’re pretty sure everyone knew it anyway.

One of our teams who were in the minority on the dilemma question about wearing boxing gloves for a year in exchange for a large cash payment made up a long list of reasons why the majority was wrong.

And our quarterly tournament is getting close to the business end, and there’s still a lot that can happen both on total points and average.
