You may have heard people talk about their love language.
Well this week, inspired by the people at Obvious Plant we want you to make up a love language.
Playing video games while ignoring you
Staring awkwardly at other women
Arguing with your mother when it’s not worth it
Getting drunk and calling you at 3am
Passive agressively cleaning while you’re on a zoom call
Any made up love languages will get a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One player turned up just before halftime, and was told “you can hug later, first answer these questions”.
When they heard Chopin’s Funeral March, one team thought it was for a wedding. You know, one of those REALLY depressing weddings.
And we have new leaders in the quarterly tournament.
