Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 28 April 2024

There’s an art to writing trivia questions.

This week you’re going to use your team name to have a go at it, but we only want terrible trivia questions.

Why?

What is the best colour?

How many of my cousins have a beard?

Who is the worst looking person to have walked on the moon?

What the hell are you looking at?

Any terrible trivia questions will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 27 April 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

Living next to a Maltese bakery for years got them a jackpot on Maltese pastries.

TEAM NAMES

There’s a lot of bad advice in song lyrics…

Jump (we had dozens of variations on this)

All you need is love

They tried to make me go to rehab and I said no, no, no

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more

Travel back in time to the 1830s

Come on Eileen

You can brush my hair, undress me anywhere

Everybody Wang Chung tonight

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy

Don’t worry, be happy

Don’t go chasing waterfalls

Send in the clowns

F*ck the police

Smack my bitch up

Run to the hills

Beat it

Sell the kids for food

Murder on the dancefloor

I’d catch a grenade for you

When I think about you I touch myself

Hips don’t lie

Don’t take no for an answer

Hit me with your rhythm stick

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame (is victim blaming)

I fell under a bus, I got hit by a train

Hit me baby, one more time

TriviArt

Enlightening Lemon

Hairy Beer

Feral Blancmange

Ugly Disease

Comma Deforestation

Dashing Stethoscope

Toxic Ex

Cheeky Shed

Play Doh Wheelchair

Photophobic Comedian

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One player got one look at one of our picture questions, and knew the answer, because it was a picture of a video game he had played earlier in the day.

We played an Ariana Grande song, and one team mistook it for Cannibal Corpse. You know, because they sound so familiar.

Beginning with O, what’s a group of peacocks called? An orgy. It’s wrong, but about half of teams went with it. Hey, if enough people use it, we can make it a thing.

And we’ve got two teams on three wins at the top of the table in our quarterly tournament.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about five letter words ending in OPE, we found it distressing that a majority of teams came up with “grope”. Whether that reflects on our players or on society as a whole is a question unto itself.

One team declined to gamble any points on the gambler’s question, stating instead that “gambling is bad”.

And we have one team at the top of the table of our quarterly tournament with three wins.
