Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 8 September 2024

Last week we asked about things many people find attractive that you don’t.

This week your team name is going to be something most people don’t find attractive that you do.

A man who looks like he’d make a good shopping mall Santa

Slightly crooked teeth

Deep voiced women

Bigger than average noses

When they absentmindedly hum to themselves

Any unusual thing you find attractive gets a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

On a question about British Prime Ministers and Hugh Grant characters, a team of Brits managed to pick just 3/5 correctly, which is barely better than average. (They still won though.)

One team saw a picture of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and guessed that it was Rishi Sunak.

Two minutes after we played a song, it came up on the jukebox and half the room heard it in full all over again.

One team only knew Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven because of the Simpsons. Which is a perfectly fair place to pick up knowledge on higher culture.

And our quarterly tournment has three weeks left and there are still plenty of teams in the running both for the overall title and for the highest average.

Interesting Question of the Day – 5 September 2024

The Australian Election Study is run after every federal election, and rates Prime Ministers on a 10 point scale for likeability. Going back to 1987, which two Prime Ministers have won an election while having the lowest likeability ratings?

The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia quiz.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 31 August 2024

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

They probably didn’t KNOW the answer to a jackpot question on prime numbers, but they did manage to guess it.

TEAM NAMES

You’re pretty petty if your reasons for rejecting people are anything to go by.

Her voice wasn’t as sexy after she quit smoking

Our star signs were incompatible

She didn’t like Star Wars

She preferred Star Trek to Doctor Who

My grandma was sent to Australia to marry a man but when she got off the boat she saw he had a mole on his ear and said “no thank you”

Can’t use chopsticks

They were from Texas

Owns multiple cats

They wore white skinny jeans

Her dad’s handshake was weak

Once fired someone for rolling their eyes at me in a meeting

Literally didn’t know the meaning of the word “literally”

Used the wrong “your”

She didn’t know the difference between less and fewer

TriviArt

Dinosaur Beef

Scary Sewer

Soviet Clown

Voluptuous Apple

Jetlagged Roast

Peacock Helicopter

Daliesque Accent

INTERESTING MOMENTS

If you’re given 50/50 options, even if you have no idea, you might as well guess. One team who knew nothing about cricket nailed three 50/50s after we reminded them that you don’t lose points for guessing.

One of our players coincidentally wore a t-shirt with an answer to a special subject question on it.

And we have new leaders at the top of the leader board. But there are still plenty who can win on both overall scores and average scores.
