INTERESTING MOMENTS

Ok here’s a question for you… what number is this?

It was written as a jackpot answer, and both we, and the bar staff we consulted thought it was 13100. If it was 12,100, it would have won the jackpot. The lesson is, be careful with your handwriting.

One team wore a Twilight t-shirt, and when we asked a Twilight question she unzipped her hoodie to show the rest of the team that she was in fact an expert.

Just a reminder, please don’t harass the hosts while they’re in the middle of a question.

And we have reached the end of our quarterly tournament with Foxolotl taking top spot. Fish and Friends snuck in on highest average with an 82 point win when their closest competitors won with a low enough score to drag them down.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about Robert DeNiro films, one team put The Godfather as their answer for three of the five questions. Maybe they’re REALLY big fans of that film.

Never leave a question blank. On a question on how to spell the names of languages in that language, one team just wrote down Maori because they didn’t know how to say Maori in Maori, only to find out that Maori in Maori… is Maori.

When the answer is Oskar Schindler, and your answer is Hitler… that’s about as wrong as you can get.

And the quarterly tournament has a week left, and it looks like first place is locked up. But there are still a few teams that can plausibly win for highest average among the top 12.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

First time winners, and they managed 82 points.  Everything went their way.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

After hearing us introduce question 17, one group of patrons who had just walked in exclaimed “oh it’s Bingo!” No, not it isn’t.

And our leaders are in a pretty good position in the quarterly tournament. For highest average, we have a tie broken in favour of the team with the higher high score.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team asked if they could have a bonus point on a picture question about The Lorax because they recently dressed as The Lorax.

Yes. Under these circumstances.

We asked a bonus question where the answer was 5. One team guessed 4. We said no. Ten seconds later another team guessed 4. Again, we said no. Then we got a third guess of 4. OH COME ON! It wasn’t 4 the first two times, it still isn’t 4.

A question on why the furthest point from the centre of the earth isn’t Mt Everest resulted in a couple of teams both answering the question and adding diagrams to explain.

We’re coming towards the end of the quarterly tournament and there’s still a lot up in the air.

See you next week.

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One player learned why you should write down the answer to a bonus question instead of yelling it out loud enough that the team next to you can hear, and write it down themselves.

One team answered each question in words, and in pictures. They literally drew a picture of every answer.

Every team got a question on the origins of Apartheid… except for the one team that had a South African on their team.

And our leaders in the quarterly tournament extended their lead.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

On a gambler’s question asking for a sport, one team took the time to write down 6 sports and then asked “is it any of these”… and got one of them right.

There was a Welsh language question which a player who was FROM Wales got wrong.

Who starred in Black Swan? The Rock and Kevin Hart. Well… they have range.

And a loss for our leaders made our quarterly tournament much closer.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked if you’d rather be trapped in a room with a tiger snake or 30 funnel web spiders, and one team’s answer was Sabrina Carpenter… which we’re pretty sure was a mistake based on the audio question that came before.

One team opted on the dilemma question for living on a traffic island rather than the Jurassic Park island, but noted that they actually would have preferred the dinosaurs… and that was the decisive vote in a 7-6 decision. So they played it perfectly. Either way they were going to win.

A team who said they weren’t going to play… still stayed and created their own answer sheet.

And our leaders have managed to win every week so far.

See you next week.

Having bid that they could name 7 Shakespearean tragedies, one team just gave up and walked back to their seat. We’ve never seen anyone quit so readily.

And our leaders have maintained their place at the top of our tournament leader board.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team gave us a summary of the plot of To Kill A Mockingbird including character names, but couldn’t remember the name of the book.

One player had sufficiently little faith in his teammates that he charged back from the bar in the middle of ordrering to answer a question rather than risk them messing it up.

When we asked for London football clubs, we didn’t expect someone to go with Liverpool.

And our quarterly tournament has a clear leader as we approach the half way point.

See you next week.
