INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked a question about suburbs containing the letter Z, and someone who lives in Rozelle didn’t answer “Rozelle”. Instead, they went with “Brighton Le Zandz”.

There was a lot of mirth over us using the acronym CBF is a way that was in no way dirty.

And when we announce your team name as Race Riots, even though it fits our weekly theme, you might want to avoid cheering too much.

See you next week.

And someone answered a homework question on Japanese Prime Ministers… in Japanese.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We gave someone a point for answering Professor McGonagall on a question about Maggie Smith from Downton Abbey. Close enough.

One of our bonus questions asked about the weight in kg of a 200 pound man (which, as it happens, is the weight of one of our hosts.) Instead of dividing by 2.2, someone multiplied by 2.2 to come up with 440kg.

Instead of answering Lorde, someone said Randy Marsh.

A dilemma question on the ethics of wearing budgie smugglers away from the beach resulted in one team going against their personal view because they thought everyone else wouldn’t see it their way. They were wrong, and screwed themselves out of a point.

Matt Damon was confused for Matt Demon.

A player from overseas who knows nothing about Australian sport managed to figure out that Jean Holes is an anagram of John Eales. Yes, sometimes you can get a sport question by knowing other things.

We asked for words beginning with “van”, and someone came up with “vandetta”. Which we presume is a vendetta against people who drive vans.

And instead of saying Reel 2 Real, one team answered that the song “I Like To Move It” was performed by “the Lemurs from Madagascar.”

See you next week.

A dilemma question turned on two Scottish influenced teams being willing to accept a week of constant bagpipes being played in exchange for $10,000.

We played “Better Be Home Soon” by Crowded House. The only player who knew it was born after it was released, and was raised in Belgium. Not only was she the only one who recognised it, she recognised it when we played it BACKWARDS!

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When reading out the answers, we meant to say Morgan Evans (the guy who performed the song “Day Drunk”) but instead our brain corrected it to Morgan Freeman.

We heard half of the room trying to sing All Star by Smash Mouth really quickly to try to figure out how many times a certain word came up in the lyrics.

We asked a question about anagrams of Olympic gold medallist Sally Pearson, and someone from overseas who had no idea who Sally Pearson was, managed to crack the anagram anyway.

There was extensive commentary on the creepyness of King Triton’s nipples in The Little Mermaid.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about actors in a clip we played of Moana, one player identified Alan Tudyk as the rooster.  We listened again, and sure enough you could hear him making rooster noises.  And that sufficiently obscure to warrant a bonus point.

If you’re a veteran player you probably know that on a bonus question, you get only one guess if the answer is a number. One player guessed twice, and we were all set to add one to their total when it was brought to our attention that their winning guess was their second guess.

Things said in our Challenge Quiz: “I forgot six was a number.”

The sequel to 300 was 301.

A Belgian got a question on Belgian beer wrong.

One of our hosts was mistaken for Jason Statham.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team answered a bonus question with “Eric Banner”, and a split second later someone else answered with “Eric Bana”. And right when we thought we were about to have an argument on our hands, the first respondent admitted “no im wrong, im an idiot”. Take note people. THAT is how to act when you’re wrong. Not whinging about how “it’s close enough and you know what I meant.”

When you google the homework question, you can’t just take the answer Google spits out at you. You may have to actually click on a link instead of reading a list of Vietnamese Provinces and naming the first four without checking to see they are the largest by area.

We listed a bunch of notable people, including Princess Diana and asked what they all had in common. Someone said they all died in “accidents”.

We hosted a corporate show for a company making kitchen appliances, and in the bonus lightning round, we wound up eliminating one team when they failed to identify a freezer as a device paired with a refrigerator that keeps food very cold. Whether someone was fired afterwards, we really can’t say.

And iQ Trivia is back to playing in venues again… sort of. One of our teams this week went back to their local at To All My Friends in Canberra, and played online trivia IN the pub.

We do hope to see more of this, and to get back to live trivia soon.

See you next week.

On Wednesday, one team managed to get LITERALLY every bonus point available to them. Three bonus questions, the team name, and two on the TriviArt. Impressive.

The Khmer Rouge was apparently led by a guy named Paul Potts.

And we asked a dilemma question about whether you would return $1,000 you found in a hotel room. One team responded by saying they would return all $500.

See you next week.

We had a lot of corporate shows this week, and found out that people in some offices get REALLY competitive with trash talk.

We found out why someone did well with geography questions.

Someone mistook a quote from Anne Frank as being a quote from Eva Braun. You know, Mrs Hitler? That’s about as wrong as it’s possible to get.

Someone suggested that Queen Victoria introduced herself by saying “it’s Vicky bitch!” We’re pretty sure she would have hired someone to do that.

And a team made largely of people from Sweden failed to identify the most common surname in Sweden.

See you next week.

Spelling matters. “Legally Blonde” is a Reese Witherspoon film. “Legally Blown” is a VERY different movie.

On a Game of Thrones question we got someone guessing “Boris Johnson.”

In a corporate show with an audience mostly in San Francisco, one of our Australian hosts had to explain baseball terminology to an American.

In a lightning round in a Zoom conference, every question on alcohol went to a player who was a sufficiently observant Muslim that she wore a hijab. Also, she got them both.

The memeing of our hosts continues.

And one of our players sent a photo of him preparing wine for bottling as we marked their answer sheets at halftime.

It took us a moment to realise that wasn’t a urine sample.

See you next week.
