INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about countries beginning with I, one team put Iran… twice. They must have been very confident on that.

Bjork’s eyes were mistaken for the eyes of “one of the guys from BTS”.

The answer to our find the connection round was silent Ls. One of our hosts pointed out that if you pronounce the L in salmon, you are wrong in this quiz and in life. If you pronounce the L in walk, you can walllllk on out of here.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked for three of the five artists we played in a supercut. A couple of team asked for bonus points if they could name them all. We agreed, with the proviso that if you named more than 3, you had to get all of them right or your would get zero points. One team got the first four, but then mistook Whitney Houston for Celine Dion and that cost them.

At an online corporate show, one team slipped up and posted the answer to a four point question in the chat… and sure enough, literally every team got 4/4.

The most common word beginning with MAC? How about macaron?

First place at one show had to be decided by the fact that one team got the homework question, but spelled one of the answers wrong. It doesn’t matter very often, but if it comes down to it, spelling can be the difference between a win & second place.

See you next week.

WINNERS

JACKPOT

Winning other people’s money put a smile on their faces.

TEAM NAMES

We’re pretty sure none of these pick up lines would work.

I see you ordered the pasta. Can I interest you in something equally pale, floppy, and disappointing?

My Wallet May Not Be Fat But I Sure Am.

I’m like a Rubik’s cube. Hard to figure out and you’ll give up on me quickly.

You remind me of my hairline. I want to hang on to you for as long as possible.

My mum can’t wait to make you breakfast in the morning.

I put the STD in stud. All I need is U.

I’m a four, but a lot of blokes here are twos so you could do worse.

If you like punctuality I’m your man. I’m always early.

Hey girl, you may already know me. They call me the fastest man in the west.

I hope you like winners, because I always come first.

I’m falling for you because I’m clumsy.

Do you like things on a massive scale? Great! Because I’m a massive disappointment.

Are you my mum, because I’m going to disappoint you.

I pooped my pants. Can I get in yours?

Roses are red, violets are blue. I don’t have any money, I’m hoping you do.

You’re about to have the best two minutes of your life.

Got the nickname skidmarks despite not owning a car.

At least you know I’ll never cheat.

I’m 6 feet 2 inches. That’s two measurements.

Are you a dog person, because I’m a bitch.

Are you my shower, because I want to cry inside you.

Is it hot in here or do I have COVID?

What I lack in charm, I make up for in body odor.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A bonus question had the answer of 33% of Australians who had consumed no alcohol in the previous four weeks. One player was about to guess 33%, but as she did a team mate told her that was stupid and nowhere near correct. We insisted he apologise to her immediately. And he did, immediately.

We asked a question about how many calories there were in an average human body, and some of you showed a frankly disturbing amount of knowledge about how long you can live on human flesh.

Apparently the second highest weight class in boxing isn’t cruiserweight, but chonkyweight.

Who is the father of actress Rashida Jones? Indiana Jones, according to one team.

Of course, Rashida Jones featured in the TV series Parks and Recreation, which was set in… Indiana.

See you next week.

TEAM NAMES

How did you get such a hot girlfriend?

You’re funny for a chick.

I can see you worked really hard on that.

Most people your age can’t pull that off.

You’re kind of hot for a fat chick.

My little sister is a big fan of yours.

You have a face for radio.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We were set the task of finishing trivia in time for State of Origin kickoff at one of our shows, and we finished in 1:25 with 15 minutes to spare.

Four teams got the first jackpot question, three of them spelled it right, then two of those three got the second, but neither of those two got the third. (Maybe we need to make them tougher.)

On a one guess only bonus question, one team got the right answer right away, showed us, and immediately said “oh not that’s not it” before changing their answer. 20 seconds later, someone else cracked it. Yes, we have no qualms about letting you talk yourselves out of a right answer.

See you next 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.

JACKPOT

They won both first place AND the jackpot so it was a pretty good night.

We’re pretty sure they got lucky on a question about Qatari towns, but it still counts.

And this guy didn’t need any help to win based on his knowledge of AFL songs & French composers.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about countries with the highest Jewish populations, and had to remind a couple of teams that Bondi is not a country.

A team with French speakers in regular attendance suffered through a question on the French language, because the Francophones chose this week to be absent.

And our bonus round which asked people about a famous place that was 135 metres high and cost £70 million to build… resulted in one team guessing “The Maldives”. You know, the country made up of over 1,000 islands and was apparently built for the low price of £70 million. (This is what happens when you don’t pay attention.)

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A brand new team led at halftime and could have won if they had been more aggressive on the gambler’s question, but as they told us after the fact, they were a team of lawyers who were very risk averse.

And one of our shows was interrupted so players could go out and witness the blood moon.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about words ending with the letters EEL… and someone asked if words ending in EAL would count. Uh… no.

When he described a ballet position, one of our hosts also tried to perform it… and was reminded why he doesn’t do ballet.

After we announced that the population of Tajikistan was higher than the population of Tasmania, a lot of people in the room celebrated… you know, as if they actually knew the population of Tajikistan.

And when we asked about the survivability of nuclear blasts, one team answered “we would survive the blast, but would die from a sever shortage of interesting trivia nights shortly after.” Yes. Interesting trivia is just that important.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about the first number that is spelled with the letter B, looking for one billion. But we didn’t specify that it had to be a whole number, so technically, one billionth comes first. Of course, one ten billionth and one onehundred billionth are lower still, but we still gave them credit. (And then changed the question.)

A pair approached one of our hosts around question 27 and asked if it was too late to join. They didn’t play, but they still argued about the questions, paid up for the jackpot round, and made plans to come next week.

We left a hint that there would be a question on the M25, and when we asked a bonus question about how long it was in kilometres, one team had the answer before we finished reading the question.

And at one show one team was a couple on their third date. They kept track of who knew what correct answers, but at the end of the night, they couldn’t decide who won between the two of them. Which means they have to come back next week for their fourth date. Yes, we need to normalise trivia on dates.

See you next week.
