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

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

Whether they actually knew how badly the Rabbitohs did over about 40 years, they won a jackpot for getting the number of wooden spoons right.

TEAM NAMES

Your lips are nice, like Kylie Jenner before filler

You have surprisingly musical nostrils

Your cervix is the perfect size

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about the number of holes in men’s belts, one player had his belt off within 3 seconds. He was suspiciously quick at getting his gear off.

When we asked teams to name five Australian cities, we had to explain that we didn’t want you to name one city five times.

A ballet beginning with G? How About Grease? And SB? Maybe Soulja Boy.

The Mario Puzo novel set in New York with the initials TG? The Grinch. And surely A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is a less compelling title than All Them Girls Is Bangin’.

And Cuck is still leading our quarterly tournament with 3 wins in 3 weeks.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

In reading out the answers we read out the two most common computer passwords, and distinctly heard one player say “hey that’s my password!”

When we asked about how many days had passed since the $1 coin was introduced, we got guesses ranging from 32 to 1 billion. So possibly last month, and possibly 2.7 million years ago.

Now, we’re hosting trivia in a bar. Alcohol is present. Enthusiastic gesticulating happens. But if you knock over drinks on to your answer sheets… twice… you might want to calm down.

And our quarterly tournament is continuing, with three teams leading as repeat winners at the top of the table.

iQ Trivia Quarterly Tournament

Uncategorized,

iQ Trivia is launching a quarterly tournament among all of the winning teams across all of our live venues.

We tested the concept from October to December at a handful of venues and it has worked well, but now we are planning to expand it across all of our quizzes.

The idea is that the winning team at every venue gets their score entered onto a leader board.

At the end of the quarter, whatever team has the highest cumulative score among all their wins, wins.

It’s only the winning team who gets their score entered. If you come second, your score doesn’t go on the board.

You can go to more than one quiz in a week, but you only get one score every week. So if you go on Tuesday and win with 65 points, and then win again on Wednesday with 68 points, only your Wednesday score counts.

If you want to complain that it’s easier to win at a venue with fewer teams… well, that’s probably true. Also, we don’t care. There will be no handicapping of scores. If you want to win by going to a smaller venue, there’s nothing stopping you.

We plan to post the leader board at the end of every week so you know where you stand.

Keeping track of team names may be a bit tricky given that team names change every week, so if you want to compete, you’ll need to give us a way to identify you. The answer sheets are being updated to make a space for you to enter an identifier you can use at all quizzes right next to your final score. (It can be the name of a team member, a team nickname, or anything that is unique to your team.) That way your host can send a photo of the winning score & your tournament team name so we can update our records. (If you are in the running to win the tournament we will also have to be able to contact you, preferably by e-mail.)

In the unlikely event of a tie on cumulative points at the end of the tournament, the team with the highest score on a single quiz will win.

Have an interesting tournament.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

TEAM NAMES

You’ve had some really awful house guests.

Claims Emily Post Says Foot Rubs From The Host Are Just Good Manners

The couch is uncomfortable. I’ll take your bed.

Peed on the floor

Mormons.

Clipping toenails at the dinner table.

Where’s my dinner?

Decaf Pickle

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Words beginning with BO, one player guessed Bong, and Bondage. Which might say a thing or two about them.

On an alphabetical list of Rugby World Cup playing countries, we had to explain that Bangladesh has never been to the Rugby World Cup.

When asked when the actress who played the grandmother in Titanic was born, we had guessed ranging from 1876 to 1973. Which would have made her either 24, or 121 years old when they film was released.

And a Scotsman failed to recognise Auld Lang Syne being played on bagpipes. He’s a bad Scotsman.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 31 December 2023

Uncategorized,

The holiday season is wrapping up, and you may have had house guests staying with you.

For your team name, we want to know about the most audacious or entitled house guest you ever had.

Thanks for letting me stay. By the way, I don’t believe in wearing clothes at home.

My mother in law decided I was staying up too late.

I lost the key you gave me, so I changed the locks.

The air conditioner works better if you run it while you’re out and leave the windows open.

Any ridiculously entitled house guest behaviour will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

It may have been luck, but this team who finished second last took home the jackpot.

TEAM NAMES

A lot of you had a pretty lacklustre Christmas.

I’m not sure that’s gravy

Sunny the dog ate an entire Toblerone

Ran out of alcohol

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When presented with five 50/50 choices, the best any team did at one quiz was two. Just two. Statistically, that’s worse than random chance, and that’s the best anyone did. One team got zero out of five.

When given a question about Ritalin, one team reacted in such a pronounced way that we thought something was up. Turns out half the team was currently ON Ritalin.

And one team argued for a VAR decision when they claimed to have said USA in the bonus round. We didn’t hear it, nobody in the room heard it, and all the gaslighting in the world isn’t going to make us think you said it when you didn’t.

See you next week.
