INTERESTING MOMENTS

We gave a series of 50/50 options on a question about Macbeth, and our options fooled a team of Scottish people. The following night, a Scotsman was beaten to the punch on a Loch Ness Monster question.

A day of the week that comes after Saturday? Sabbath. Well that’s more complicated than it needed to be, but yes.

One player was bugging us for a hint on one question, we gave him one, and it tipped him from having the correct answer to having a wrong answer. The lesson… be careful about asking for hints.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When the batteries ran out in the mic at one venue, one team earned bonus points for being the first to produce spares so the show could go on.

We had a bunch of very blokey teams, only one of whom recognised one of the main characters in The Gilmore Girls. Guys, you need more diversity on your trivia teams.

When we asked about who got married to a 67 year old woman recently, instead of Rupert Murdoch one team said “some young hunk” which is about as far as it’s possible to get from the right answer, and another said “definitely not Leonardo DiCaprio” which is actually pretty close to bang on.

And it looks like the winners of the current quarterly tournament can’t be caught.

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

One team finally had members old enough to be able to actually win the 7^th place bottle of wine as a prize at one venue. It was a big deal for them.

And our leaders are still on top with just three weeks left in our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

WINNERS

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

And our tournament leaders are maintaining their lead as we get closer to the end of the quarter.

See you next week.

A player from Colombia DIDN’T get Colombia as a South American country on the Pacific Ocean.

And our quarterly tournament winners are holding their position.

One team mistook Mr Darcy for Mr Bean. That would have been a very odd literary choice.

One team knew the answer to four out of the five bonus round questions right, but when we asked for the role of Ken, they wrote down the film of Barbie. Which is a reminder to listen to the damn question at all times.

And our leaders maintained top spot in our quarterly tournament, one win clear.

See you next week.

Teams that have won the NRL Minor Premiership and the Grand Final in the same year? How about Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin?

And when we ran the categories bonus round, we had guesses for the category of “things that are sticky” including oil, and hand lotion. Yeah, those things are the opposite of sticky.

Our quarterly tournament is still going, with one team a win clear in first place.

See you next week.

JACKPOT

Living next to a Maltese bakery for years got them a jackpot on Maltese pastries.

TEAM NAMES

There’s a lot of bad advice in song lyrics…

Jump (we had dozens of variations on this)

All you need is love

They tried to make me go to rehab and I said no, no, no

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more

Travel back in time to the 1830s

Come on Eileen

You can brush my hair, undress me anywhere

Everybody Wang Chung tonight

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy

Don’t worry, be happy

Don’t go chasing waterfalls

Send in the clowns

F*ck the police

Smack my bitch up

Run to the hills

Beat it

Sell the kids for food

Murder on the dancefloor

I’d catch a grenade for you

When I think about you I touch myself

Hips don’t lie

Don’t take no for an answer

Hit me with your rhythm stick

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame (is victim blaming)

I fell under a bus, I got hit by a train

Hit me baby, one more time

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One player got one look at one of our picture questions, and knew the answer, because it was a picture of a video game he had played earlier in the day.

We played an Ariana Grande song, and one team mistook it for Cannibal Corpse. You know, because they sound so familiar.

Beginning with O, what’s a group of peacocks called? An orgy. It’s wrong, but about half of teams went with it. Hey, if enough people use it, we can make it a thing.

And we’ve got two teams on three wins at the top of the table in our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about five letter words ending in OPE, we found it distressing that a majority of teams came up with “grope”. Whether that reflects on our players or on society as a whole is a question unto itself.

One team declined to gamble any points on the gambler’s question, stating instead that “gambling is bad”.

And we have one team at the top of the table of our quarterly tournament with three wins.

See you next week.
