INTERESTING MOMENTS

A brand new team led at halftime and could have won if they had been more aggressive on the gambler’s question, but as they told us after the fact, they were a team of lawyers who were very risk averse.

And one of our shows was interrupted so players could go out and witness the blood moon.

See you next week.

WINNERS

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about words ending with the letters EEL… and someone asked if words ending in EAL would count. Uh… no.

When he described a ballet position, one of our hosts also tried to perform it… and was reminded why he doesn’t do ballet.

After we announced that the population of Tajikistan was higher than the population of Tasmania, a lot of people in the room celebrated… you know, as if they actually knew the population of Tajikistan.

And when we asked about the survivability of nuclear blasts, one team answered “we would survive the blast, but would die from a sever shortage of interesting trivia nights shortly after.” Yes. Interesting trivia is just that important.

See you next week.

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.

TEAM NAMES

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about the first number that is spelled with the letter B, looking for one billion. But we didn’t specify that it had to be a whole number, so technically, one billionth comes first. Of course, one ten billionth and one onehundred billionth are lower still, but we still gave them credit. (And then changed the question.)

A pair approached one of our hosts around question 27 and asked if it was too late to join. They didn’t play, but they still argued about the questions, paid up for the jackpot round, and made plans to come next week.

We left a hint that there would be a question on the M25, and when we asked a bonus question about how long it was in kilometres, one team had the answer before we finished reading the question.

And at one show one team was a couple on their third date. They kept track of who knew what correct answers, but at the end of the night, they couldn’t decide who won between the two of them. Which means they have to come back next week for their fourth date. Yes, we need to normalise trivia on dates.

See you next week.

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

A team from California forgot to do the homework question. Luckily, it was about Californian counties. Unluckily, they couldn’t think of them. So they didn’t get the homework question on geography where they were from. But they turned around and won a jackpot based on their knowledge of Russian rivers.

They nailed a question on the birth of Confucius, when most teams were off by over a millenium.

And another team misspelled it as Jessica Maras, but they won a jackpot on a question about Jessica Marais. It might be because one of them had Jessica Marais’s contact details on his phone.

TEAM NAMES

This week it was celebrities and household objects.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team of accountants estimated that Vladimir Putin was about 4,500 days old. Which is about 12 years. Accountants. ACCOUNTANTS. People whose job it is to count.

And when an elderly couple had a tough time paying for dinner, one of our players paid for them. And then, halfway through the show, the beneficiary of our trivia audience’s largesse insisted on trekking up the stairs to say thank you.

See you next week.

Horny Stapler

Fermented Arctic

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A shocking number of teams got ZERO on the bonus round, because they assigned zero points to the one question they got correct.

We asked about leap years, and one team answered with 2006… which is not a leap year. You know, if you’re not going to listen, we can’t help you.

We played I need a dollar by Aloe Blacc backwards, and one team answered that it was ccalB eolA yb rallod a deen I. It took us a second to get the joke, but we gave them credit.

And one team brought kids along, which is wise, because they will likely know things you may not. Naturally we went on to play a version of WAP by Cardi B. Luckily, they understood that when you bring your kids to a bar, they might hear something untoward. (At any rate, we were careful not to play anything too spicy.)

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Someone asked us how much a 1kg lump of coal weighs.

We asked a question about French names and their equivalents in English… and when asked for hints, gave very obvious hints in French, and more cryptic hints in English. It pays to know another language people!

And two regular teams who were both shorthanded joined together. Alone, neither of them would have won. But together they filled in the gaps in each other’s knowledge and took out first place.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Instead of just answering “mitosis”, one team gave a detailed explanation of the various phases of the splitting of cells.

A new team nearly talked themselves out of a correct answer on a bonus question. They did their level best to drop the ball, and just managed to win in spite of themselves.

Another team yelled out the answer from across the room, rather than writing it down. And a few seconds later, another team wrote down their answer and took the bonus.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about the internal angles of a pentagon, and one player remembered learning how to figure that out in school, and also complaining that they would never need to know that in the real world. Well you could have won at trivia with that information!

We asked about countries by area that aren’t spelled with the letter A. Someone asked what about Greenland or Denmark. Really? Are you sure you want to pursue that?

Following a question about the Julia Roberts film Pretty Woman, we overheard one player say she studied that film in high school. What? Is this common in Austalia?

In a jackpot, one team briefly tried to argue that Guns N Roses was an anagram of Rad Dungeons if you spelled it with the word “and”. And then they noticed that Guns AND Roses has too many Ss, and also too many letters, and also isn’t the name of the band.

Someone guessed that you have a prostate in your throat. Note: If you do have a prostate in your throat, please seek medical attention.

And you are always welcome to have your birthday at trivia. Especially when you bring Gin & Tonic cupcakes.

See you next week.

WINNERS

JACKPOT

At some venues we keep giving away jackpots every week.

TEAM NAMES

Whether you were drawing from things you had said or things other people had said to you, you came up with a lot of horrible things to say on a first date.

We can’t go to that cafe, it’s within 500m of a school

You looked much skinnier through the telescope

I think we should call our first son Adolf

I believe we’re related

And she will have a salad

You look fertile

What’s your name again

My favourite film is Fight Club

Hi I’m Armie Hammer

Shhhhhhh

That’s not what your mum said

Hi sis

I’m Cory Bernardi

What time is your wife getting home

I’ve got crabs

You look like you’re from the IT Crowd

If I stand down from my position as Attorney-General because of an allegation about something that simply did not happen, then any person in Australia can lose their career, their job, their life’s work, based on nothing more than accusation that appears in print.

TriviArt

Jumbo Cow

Wet Frog

Cartoonish Subpoena

Seething Ocean

Hairy France

Cuddly Fire

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a team decide not to enter the jackpot round. And then wish they had because they knew the answer when nobody else did. THIS is why you should always bring cash to trivia.

Someone not playing trivia lost a substantial bet with a friend who recognised Mmmm Bop by Hansen being played in a 50s doo wop style.

And a couple of teams managed to get 5 points for guessing Zimbabwe on the first clue.  Usually it won’t work going that early, but if you need the points, there’s still a chance.

See you next week.
