Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 12 May 2024

Uncategorized,

You may have heard about the Man Vs Bear debate, where women were asked whether they would rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear.

It seems a lot of women would prefer the bear.

And it got us thinking, what else would be worse than finding yourself alone with a bear.

Any group or person who would make you choose the bear will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about people who walked on the moon, and one player was absolutely certain that Mark Watney was one of them… only to find out shortly thereafter that not only had Mark Watney not walked on the moon, he wasn’t even real. He was Matt Damon’s character in The Martian.

One team mistook Mr Darcy for Mr Bean. That would have been a very odd literary choice.

One team knew the answer to four out of the five bonus round questions right, but when we asked for the role of Ken, they wrote down the film of Barbie. Which is a reminder to listen to the damn question at all times.

And our leaders maintained top spot in our quarterly tournament, one win clear.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 5 May 2024

Uncategorized,

Recently we asked a question about ridiculous products sold on Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website goop.com.

We were going to make up some additional ridiculous products to throw into the mix as red herrings, but we couldn’t come up with anything sillier than what Gwyneth is already selling.

So maybe you can do better.

If your team name is a ridiculous product that might be sold to people with more money than sense, you will get a bonus point.

A smartphone case held by a Buddhist monk as he achieved enlightenment

Solid gold corn cob holders

Diamond encrusted toothbrushes

A coffin Gwyneth Paltrow herself slept in

Any unnecessarily extravagant products will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Teams that have won the NRL Minor Premiership and the Grand Final in the same year? How about Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin?
