Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 30 November 2025

Uncategorized,

Apparently Elon Musk has been rigging his Grok AI to praise him.

So for your team name this week, we want you to imagine other ways that Grok might talk up Elon Musk.

Mike Tyson was good at boxing, but Elon is undefeated in heavyweight title fights

As Ancient Roman leaders go, Julius Caesar was pretty effective, but have you seen Elon in a toga?

Elon Musk is a much better serial killer than Jeffrey Dahmer

Stephen Hawking actually learned everything he knew from Elon

Elon is my favourite member of the Spice Girls

You can praise him for things he doesn’t even do. In fact, that’s an ideal approach.

Any over the top AI praise for Elon will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

Getting lucky on a sports question still counts.

TEAM NAMES

Some of you made some interesting arguments about what is and is not required.

You don’t have to be happy at happy hour

An aisle seat isn’t necessarily on the aisle

A pub doesn’t need to have beer

A quarter pounder doesn’t need to weigh a quarter of a pound

Big Macs don’t need to be big

There’s no egg in eggplant

Three woods don’t need to be made of wood

Trivia doesn’t require knowledge

Hot dogs aren’t made of dogs

A fridge doesn’t need to be cold

Oranges don’t need to be orange

Just because there’s panic doesn’t mean there is a disco

Australian Women’s Weekly doesn’t come out every week

Presidents don’t need a clean criminal record

Buying a bike doesn’t mean you get a seat

Ashes tests don’t need to go past two days

TriviArt

Distracted Palm Tree

Erotic Pyramids

Fancy Leonardo

Wild and Windy

Flaming Ski

QR Code Bikini

Flying Twizzlers

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Sometimes people claim a song was before their time… and sometimes a team of people 20 years younger than a song sing along. Singing along is better than complaining.

Someone mistook Eddie Mabo for Samuel L. Jackson… which would have meant certain choice words being used in the High Court.

We mentioned a current events question about Curacao was a feel good story, and one team guessed that it was about Pete Hegseth using bombs to target ships in the Caribbean, which we choose to interpret as them not hearing the good news part.

And there was some catching up in our quarterly tournament, but the leaders are still on top.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 23 November 2025

Uncategorized,

Last week we asked a current events question about United Airlines who is claiming that a window seat doesn’t require a window.

That got us thinking that there are plenty of other similar claims that can be made.

So for your team name this week, we want you to come up with something else that doesn’t require what it sounds like it requires.

An exit row doesn’t require an exit

Ordering fish & chips doesn’t mean you get fish… or chips

A steering wheel doesn’t need to be able to steer

Boneless chicken wings contain bones

A cheeseburger is made of cheese, the burger part is extra

Any justifications for shortchanging people will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

WINNERS

You don’t need to know the answer if you’re lucky enough. And they were.

You got a lot of things very wrong.

The Sydney property market is reasonably priced

Sydney rent prices are totally reasonable

Santa lives on Christmas Island

Iceland is full of meth heads

Horology is the study of whores

Euthanasia is education about children in China

9+10=21

Past performance IS a reliable indicator of future performance

Juicy Bone

Slutty Hammer

Beyonce Karen

Duck Season

Mistletoe Burrito

Ass Police

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A new team played the jackpot round, knew the answer, but it didn’t strike them that they had to bring it up. And that cost them $130.

In the categories bonus round, one team tried to argue that heroin was a reason to borrow money, a way to kill time, something they bought in the last month, and something to bring on holiday.

Instead of Bridget Jones’ Diary, one team thought it was Jeffrey Epstein’s Diary.

If you’re the loudest team at a trivia night, you don’t get to complain that it’s too loud to hear the questions.

And our quarterly tournament leaders are proving difficult to catch.
