When we asked about foreign language films, one team thought that Life Is Beautiful was made in Mongolian.

A question about ex-Soviet countries led to one team asking if the Soviet Union counted.

One team couldn’t recall the name of the Michael Pena, an actor of Mexican descent, and so they put ICE’s next target.

And our quarterly tournament is still in its early stages with three teams up at the top of the table.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 5 October 2025

Last week our team name theme involved bad medical advice.

We had fun with that, so we’re continuing the theme.

This week we want your team name to give bad financial advice.

A mortgage is just a suggestion

You can always pay off one credit card with another credit card

Lottery tickets are a good retirement plan

There’s no downside to payday loans

Doing anything Andrew Tate says

Any bad financial advice will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 4 October 2025

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

When you’re playing the jackpot, it doesn’t matter if you know it or you’re lucky. A correct answer is a correct answer.

TEAM NAMES

What medical advice will the White House come out with next?

Fake tan increases IQ

Monster Energy cures obesity and gayness

Second hand smoke cures asthma

Facehuggers cure asthma

Holding in a fart boosts your pheromones

A Chicken McNugget a day keeps the doctor away

Daredevil Dingo

Bold Table

Coriander Dragon

Catapult Whine

Mute Mute

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had one player choose to split off from the rest of his team to play solo, very keen to get to choose the last place subject… and he did. Getting just 20 points will tend to do that.

Guesses about a TV series with people being set on fire included Community, The Office, and Seinfeld. We must have missed those episodes.

Knowing that the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest structure in the world in 2570BC, one team guessed that it held that title for 5000 years… which would make it STILL the tallest for about another 300 years.

And last quarter’s tournament winners enjoyed their prize.

Which means we’ve got a new tournament kicking off. Everyone is in the running again.

Smoking while pregnant helps the baby’s lungs develop

Drinking bleach cures cancer

Reading causes depression, so stop reading

Canckles are a sign of virility

Releasing the Epstein Files causes autism

Have an interesting week.

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

Two teams won a jackpot about Edith Piaf. We’re pretty sure neither of them knew anything about Edith Piaf before the question was asked, but you’ve got to be in it to win it.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had one team bid that they could get a lot of questions wrong in our wrong answers only round, without understanding what it was. The thing is, he works in real estate, and should have known better than to put his hand up during an auction when you don’t know what you’re bidding on.

One venue had a team who wasn’t officially playing, but still argued more about the questions than any of the official teams.

And our quarterly tournament has wound up, with the Richard Gere Appreciation Society taking the top prize.
