Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 23 September 2018

Last week one of our teams mistook a photo of John Lennon & Yoko Ono at their famous Bed In for Peace as being John Wayne & Yoko Ono, in what we are hoping was a momentary mental slip rather than a legitimate case of mistaken identity.

But that got us thinking. What other famous pairings would have been VERY different if you mistook one of them for someone else.

Batman & Robin Hood

David Bowie & Iran

Shrek & Fiona Apple

Romeo & Julie Andrews

Harry Potter & Ronald McDonald

Real or fictional, anything that mistakes one member of a pairing for someone else will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 June 2018

We don’t deal with a lot of celebrity gossip at iQ Trivia.

This week, however, we’re diving in headfirst.

But we don’t want just any celebrity gossip. We want celebrity gossip that is 100% fictional.

Miley Cyrus was killed by the CIA and replaced with an assassin.

Oprah is Beyonce’s mum.

Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are the same person.

If your team name starts a rumour that is entirely false, you will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 23 March 2018

Sometimes there is a spike in babies being given the same name as recent Oscar winning actors & actresses.

There are seven actors & actresses whose names saw a jump in popularity of over 200% after they won an Oscar.  Name any three of them.  (The films for which they won were released from 1979 to 2003, and there are two men & five women.)

The first new player to comment on the website with at least three correct answers wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 10 December 2017

Last week a Twitter user challenged the internet to “Name a bitch badder than Taylor Swift.”

And the internet responded.

This week we want you do do the same.

If your team name makes reference to a woman badder than Taylor Swift, you will get a bonus point.

It can be someone you know, it can be someone from history, it can be someone famous or someone obscure. But if your team name refers to someone badder than Tay Tay, you will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
