This Week in iQ Trivia – 7 December 2024

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

Knowing Welsh geography really helped.

And they made it rain on their dog.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked what band Paul McCartney left in 1970, and overheard one team ask “was Paul McCartney in another band before Wings?”

We asked five 50/50 questions about coffee consumption per capita, and one team got zero out of five. Then another got zero out of five. Then two more got zero out of five. All in all, half of the team playing got five straight 50/50s wrong. We would do the math, but the numbers are really getting out of hand.

When we asked about what percent of Australians said they had experienced loneliness in the past week, EVERY SINGLE TEAM overshot the mark, sometimes going for an answer that was double the actual answer. Evidently there’s a lot of loneliness among our players.

And it’s going to be tough to catch our quarterly tournament leaders, but the highest average is still close.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We always read out the question twice. You don’t have to ask us to repeat it. And you DEFINITELY don’t have to stop us while we are in the process of reading the question to ask us to read it again.

One team learned that just because a random guy who isn’t playing and is only half listening to trivia yells out an answer loud enough for the whole room to hear, doesn’t mean he has the slightest idea what he’s talking about.

Who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver? Jerry Seinfeld.

And our leaders are maintaining their spot first place. They’re going to be touch to catch unless someone takes them down at their home venue in Canterbury.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 November 2024

You may have seen the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight recently.

If you didn’t, you didn’t miss much. Most people found it pretty underwhelming.

It seems that beating up a man who hasn’t fought in 20 years wasn’t a great look for Jake Paul. With some people proposing who he can fight next.

So for your team name this week, we want you to suggest Jake Paul’s next opponent.

Muhammad Ali

A 6 year old child who has had boxing briefly explained to them

The people who run Netflix

Pushing his grandmother down the stairs

Mike Tyson transported through time from 1988

Me. I can take a punch for $20 million.

Tell us who Jake Paul can fight next for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

If you’ve never watched the Simpsons, that’s not our fault. It’s one of the most popular TV series of all time, and we’re GOING to ask about it.

Using Shazam when we play an audio question? Yeah that’s cheating.

Audibly asking Siri about regions of France when we run the jackpot round, yeah that’s DEFINITELY cheating.

We played a Baa Baa Black Sheep… and one player demonstrated that it’s possible to twerk to it.

And our leaders are still one win clear at the top of the table.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Right before one of our music questions, someone interrupted our host to ask if we were going to play the music before they had to guess. Yes, they thought this might be trivia for psychics.

One player really struggled with the idea of not shouting out answers. The whole room heard her suggestions for the first four questions clear as day before she figured out people could hear her.

We were also asked on the second question of the quiz if google was allowed.

And our leaders are still one win ahead in our quarterly tournament.

Someone tried to make a case that lynching should be considered an indoor sport beginning with L.
