INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked whether people would rather have no thumbs, or only thumbs, one team based their decision on what option would make lifting a pint glass easier. They had their priorities straight.

What question did Elmo ask that went viral? “Where the bad bitches at?”

What ship did Jason take to search for the Golden Fleece? The Titanic.

A lot of teams were absolutely certain that Dawson’s Creek was set in North Carolina. Some were so certain they were almost smug about it. And then they came undone when they realised that we didn’t ask where Dawson’s Creek was filmed, but where it was set.

The Smith Family currently leads the quarterly tournament with 301 points off 4 wins.

Interesting Question of the Day – 7 February 2024

The song We Didn’t Start the Fire contains a long list of historical references stretching from the end of WWII to 1989.

What five people mentioned in it have the most hits on their Wikipedia page? There’s a royal, a scientist, a singer, a President, and an actress.

The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia quiz.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 4 February 2024

One of the teams in Indian Premier League cricket is the Mumbai Indians.

Sydney Snobs

Newtown Hipsters

Canberra Roundabouts

New York Filth

Woollahra Wankers

Aberdeen Alcoholics

Any super-accurate team names will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 3 February 2023

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.

TEAM NAMES

Weird insults are more fun than weird compliments.

If you were a spice you’d be flour

You look like you listen to Joe Rogan & Andrew Tate

I hope your wife brings a date to your funeral

You have a face like a half sucked mango

You make me look intelligent

You speak French like a Spanish cow

You’re baby’s so cute, he doesn’t look a thing like you

As interesting as a butter knife

Are you sure your nose goes with that face

You’re why the gene pool needs a lifeguard

You should use glue instead of chapstick

You’re the reason we know God has a sense of humour

You’ve got less brains than JFK

TriviArt

Hobbiton Gorilla

Hilarious Table

Morose Salad

Blacksmith Pepper Pixel

Statue

Stretchy Brazil

Bogus Geometry

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about Australian Prime Ministers and got answers of Steve Irwin & The Stingray.

The number of days since Jimmy Carter was President was estimated within less than 100 out of nearly 16,000.

On the other hand, one team thought there were 205 goals kicked in the 2023 AFL Grand Final. That’s a LOT of goals.

Perhaps the most creative answer we’ve gotten in the categories bonus round for things in the sky beginning with the letter S… Snakes on a Plane.

And here’s where we stand in the quarterly tournament.
