Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 31 December 2023

Uncategorized,

The holiday season is wrapping up, and you may have had house guests staying with you.

For your team name, we want to know about the most audacious or entitled house guest you ever had.

Thanks for letting me stay. By the way, I don’t believe in wearing clothes at home.

My mother in law decided I was staying up too late.

I lost the key you gave me, so I changed the locks.

The air conditioner works better if you run it while you’re out and leave the windows open.

Any ridiculously entitled house guest behaviour will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

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.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When presented with five 50/50 choices, the best any team did at one quiz was two. Just two. Statistically, that’s worse than random chance, and that’s the best anyone did. One team got zero out of five.

When given a question about Ritalin, one team reacted in such a pronounced way that we thought something was up. Turns out half the team was currently ON Ritalin.

And one team argued for a VAR decision when they claimed to have said USA in the bonus round. We didn’t hear it, nobody in the room heard it, and all the gaslighting in the world isn’t going to make us think you said it when you didn’t.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Cities with high NRL attendance? Adelaide, Sydney, Perth said one team who probably didn’t know what NRL is. When we suggested they change some, they scratched out Sydney.

One team forgot to do their homework on Swedish Prime Ministers so they guessed the names of ABBA members, and because Andersson is both a member of ABBA and a recent Prime Minister, they still got one.

You know that famous Dylan Thomas poem? “Do not go gentle into that good night. Take as many of the bitches down with you as you can.”

One player complained that in asking about high population Sydney suburbs, we didn’t count dead people. Because that’s a totally normal way to count population.

See you next week.

One team nearly left before the results. It’s a good thing they didn’t, because they won.
