INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we ask about TV characters and you say they’re from your favourite show, but you can’t remember the name of the show… maybe it’s NOT your favourite show.

Kristen Bell in The Good Place was described as “the chick from Forgetting Sarah Marshall”.

A team tried for 5 minutes to argue their case on a “what do they have in common” question without actually knowing who some of the people were.

And we’ve still got one team who are undefeated, and they’re on top in our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

One of our team won $171 by getting one question on Mork & Mindy. But they could have gotten either of the other questions. So it looks like they were guaranteed to win something.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about the English translation of Spanish colours, one team asked us if we wanted them in the correct order. Well… yeah!

When taking guesses on a bonus question, we stated with a very deliberate inflection that the correct answer wasn’t SOUTH Sudan, and it was still about 30 seconds before someone figured out that it was Sudan.

And it’s going to be tough to catch our leaders in the quarterly tournament, but we don’t know how the chips will fall on the highest average front.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Sometimes people claim a song was before their time… and sometimes a team of people 20 years younger than a song sing along. Singing along is better than complaining.

Someone mistook Eddie Mabo for Samuel L. Jackson… which would have meant certain choice words being used in the High Court.

We mentioned a current events question about Curacao was a feel good story, and one team guessed that it was about Pete Hegseth using bombs to target ships in the Caribbean, which we choose to interpret as them not hearing the good news part.

And there was some catching up in our quarterly tournament, but the leaders are still on top.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A new team played the jackpot round, knew the answer, but it didn’t strike them that they had to bring it up. And that cost them $130.

In the categories bonus round, one team tried to argue that heroin was a reason to borrow money, a way to kill time, something they bought in the last month, and something to bring on holiday.

Instead of Bridget Jones’ Diary, one team thought it was Jeffrey Epstein’s Diary.

If you’re the loudest team at a trivia night, you don’t get to complain that it’s too loud to hear the questions.

And our quarterly tournament leaders are proving difficult to catch.

See you next week.
