INTERESTING MOMENTS

As we often do, we asked a question about what several people have in common, and said that if your answer wasn’t our answer it had better be both correct and interesting. Naturally, one team answered with the exact words “both correct and interesting”. Ok, you found a loophole. Nobody gets that loophole anymore.

A jackpot question was asking for the name of an Italian author, and four separate teams took a shot at Giuseppe Verdi, Giuseppe Rossi, Giuseppe Ravioli, and Giuseppe Linguini. We’re pretty sure they were just going for the most stereotypically Italian names they could think of.

When we played a song by Big Audio Dynamite, one team responded that the singer used to be in The Clash. We looked it up, and sure enough, Mick Jones sang both for Big Audio Dynamite and The Clash. So saying “that band that had the same lead singer as The Clash” is not technically wrong and got a point. (Though the team that got the point still came last.)

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

We can’t seem to build up a jackpot when teams win three weeks in a row.

Maybe we need tougher questions.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about annoying sounds, and instead of the answer of “fingernails on a chalkboard” being similar to the sound of a chimpanzee warning call, one said it was “Bill’s voice”. (For the record, we can be WAY more annoying if we need to be.)

A question on ballets with the initials SB resulted in a guess of Spandau Ballet, which is not completely wrong, and Some Bullsh!t, which is.

A question on Dutch geography on our international quiz was seized on by a team that had players playing in the Netherlands at 4:00am. They got it right, and won by a single point. Yes, it pays to have Dutch people on your team sometimes.

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

This guy won $151 all on his own. So he had a good night.

Whether good luck or expertise (lets be real here, it was probably luck), both of these teams won cash.

And one of them went right back to the bar for a round of New & Blue. (Note: Mixing Toohey’s New and Alize Blue is not something we recommend.

TEAM NAMES

Inappropriate Loonie

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked a question about Lucy Liu, and one team answered “not Lucy Liu”, which is quite literally the most wrong they could possibly be. A random string of meaningless letters would have been less incorrect.

One a question about whether Iceland or Tasmania had more people, one team couldn’t decide, but argued that either way you were going to marry your cousin.

We asked about elements spelled with the letter H, and someone tried to argue that we should accept Iron.  We pointed out that, it doesn’t have an H.  So they argued that the symbol had an H, which is also wrong.

And a player from the Philippines didn’t get a question about the origin of the name of The Philippines.

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

These teams won prizes AND won the jackpot (even if it was with a lucky guess). So yes, you are allowed to bear a bit of a grudge against them.

TEAM NAMES

You’ve all heard some pretty big lies.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

If we are giving you a list of rugby positions and the numbers associated with them, and you decide to answer with numbers that we didn’t give you as options… you’re probably not going to do very well. (They failed to match the position “Number 8” to the actual number 8.)

The song “Wasn’t Expecting That” by Jamie Lawson was described as “sad white guy with a guitar”, which isn’t wrong.

We accidentally referred to Elliot Page as Ellen Page, but every single team got the name correct.

When we asked for the title of a song we played, one team wrote half of the lyrics to the song, which luckily included the title, so we gave them a point.

On a question about how fast it would take a car travelling at the speed of light to finish a car race, one team actually did the math. They didn’t just estimate, their answer included their actual calculations, which they got spot on.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A question about how many millimetres are in a kilometre had one player very keenly defending her view that there are 10,000 millimetres in a kilometre.

We asked about whether redheads, white people, or men would stop existing first, which seemed to upset one of our players who was a redheaded white man, and therefore bound to lose out in any case.

And one team responded to a jackpot question about Billy Snedden with the answer Billy Sneddon. Which is wrong, and cost them the cash.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Every quiz gets edited before it gets delivered to make sure everything is up to date and accurate. But they day after we edited a quiz, one of the questions on the highest ever score in the Big Bash League became inaccurate. Luckily, one of our hosts, all of whom tend to take accuracy in trivia pretty seriously, spotted the error and we fixed it.

A group of international players learned how important it is to avoid drop bears when visiting Australia.

We asked an audio question about a clip from a Nicolas Cage film. Every single team mistook it for the same Keanu Reeves film. (Does anyone care to guess what the films were?)

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a guess that the Supremes were led by Bob Ross. That would have been a very different band!

Another team who had chosen Fun With Flags as their special subject racked their brain but couldn’t recall the country that had a flag identical to Haiti’s, so they answered with “oh crap, I looked this up and now I can’t remember!”

One team got too clever. They answered a question about 2001: A Space Odyssey with “David Bowman”, but we asked for the name that was blanked out, which was Dave. Strict, sure. But when it comes to a tie breaker, that can matter.

And we had to break a couple of ties. One came down to the spelling of Patton Oswalt versus Patton Oswald, and one came down to providing the additional information of the last name of Elaine Benes rather than just Elaine. Sometimes it really does get that close.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our online trivia hosts was told their voice was “very soothing” and “good for ASMR”.

The Dubliners are an Irish folk band. Someone mistook them as The Canberrans.

Someone who forgot to do their homework on patron saints of countries guessed that the answers were Saint Ratzinger, Saint Pell, Saint Abbott, and Saint Dutton.

We asked about classifications of endangered animals. VU apparently stands for “Very Ugly and not worth saving” and EW stands for “Ew, it’s been dead a while”.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

More than one team thought it was Jessica Biel rather than Jessica Tandy who starred in Driving Miss Daisy. That would have been a VERY different film.

We asked for Sydney suburbs beginning with T, and one player answered with Toowoomba.

We asked about the elements in petroleum, and had to explain to someone that water isn’t an element.

See you next week.
