Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 4 September 2022

Uncategorized,

Ok, let’s suppose you were a burglar.

But instead of stealing things, you can only mildly inconvenience your victims.

Think about what you would so, and make that your team name.

Delete everything on their DVR

Hard boil all of their eggs

Put all their teaspoons in a bucket, fill it with water, and leave it in the freezer

Change the times on the microwave, the stove, the wall clock so that they are all different

Remove the batteries from everything, and stack them neatly on the kitchen table

You can’t take anything away with you, but you can make their lives unpleasant.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When they found themselves with a 1 point lead after the first bonus question, one team chanted “STOP THE COUNT! STOP THE COUNT!”

When we asked about Galway, one team sang Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran to find out if it mentioned what side of the country Galway was on.

Weight classes in boxing beginning with C? Forget Cruiserweight. It’s Chubbyweight or Chonkyweight.

We heard a new team saying the answer to a numerical bonus question several times, without writing it down, only to be beaten to the punch by a team who overheard them… and wrote it down.

And one team asked us what percent of teams gamble 5 points on the gambler’s question. Anecdotally we feel like it’s a lot, but that made us wonder what the answer would be if we looked at it scientifically. And that’s exactly what we’re going to to. Keep reading the week in review posts to find out.

See you next week.

Sydney Trivia Thursday – The Orient – 6:30pm

Uncategorized, ,

Sydney trivia is on every Thursday in The Rocks, and it’s just a stone’s throw from Circular Quay so it’s easy to find.

It’s at The Orient at 89 George Street in Sydney and it is kicking off every Thursday at 6:30pm.

We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got great food from the bistro including meal deals for trivia players, and and we’ve got prizes courtesy of The Orient.

In short, we have got everything you need for a great night out in Sydney.

So when you finish work on a Thursday, you can either go home right away, or you can assemble your friends in The Rocks for the most interesting trivia in Sydney.  It’s bound to be a great night out if you are into beer and trivia. (And if you’re not, we have no idea why you are still reading.)

If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But to be honest, that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll probably have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions that you won’t see coming. We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but will enjoy arguing about with your friends. The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we will provide.

As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to [email protected] with Orient in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.

And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have additional information to help you out.

Book yourselves in for the best trivia in Sydney by calling 9251 1255.

And we will see you at 6:30pm every Thursday in The Rocks at The Orient.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 28 August 2022

Uncategorized,

We asked a question recently where the answer we were going for was Lawyer, but a lot of teams guessed that it was Drag Queen.

Why not a Drag Queen Lawyer?

That got us thinking. What other occupations could you mix?

Bartender & marriage counsellor

Bank teller & ski mask salesman

Gravedigger & used goods dealer

Veterinarian & butcher

Any two combined jobs will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

In keeping with our team name theme, one team guessed that I Love Rock & Roll was performed not by Joan Jett, but by Scott Morrison.

One team nearly won a jackpot, but they spelled their answer Garry instead of Gary… because someone on their team was named Garry. They would have gotten credit any other time except for in the jackpot round.

When we asked how long hugs are ideally supposed to take according to a scientific study, several teams tested the theory in the most scientific way they could think of… by hugging.

When faced with a question on Maggie Smith, one team could only come up with “that old English actress who isn’t Judi Dench or Helen Mirren”.

And we’ve had heaps of interest from corporate groups for trivia, including one show that was done on less than 24 hours notice. Let us know when you need us and we will get something together for you.

See you next week.
