INTERESTING MOMENTS

We told one of our players he looked like a Lord of the Rings character and he said it was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to him.

One team got every aspect of a practical math question wrong, but they got it wrong in a very specific way that meant that they coincidentally got the right answer by sheer luck.

We asked a special subject question about the Apollo 8 astronauts, and one team did better than naming one like we asked. They named all three, and got extra points for their efforts. Another team listed Matt Damon, Sandra Bullock, and Tom Hanks, and we gave them a point because Tom Hanks played astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13.

One team didn’t listen to a player on their team from Sweden, when she said the answer to a bonus question was Sweden. General advice for trivia: If someone from Sweden says it’s Sweden, IT’S ALMOST CERTAINLY SWEDEN!

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.

JACKPOTS

We had a few winners this week.

We love when team that don’t do well on the quiz as a whole take out the jackpot.

This couple came all the way from Colac, Victoria and came last. Then they won the jackpot.

And this trio have often struggled with the quiz, but this week the stars came together & they had just the right nugget of knowledge to win $137.

They proved once again, that it can be done.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

LARP stands for Large And Randy People.

One team came to one of our shows on Monday, and enjoyed it so much that they came again on Wednesday… so we had to come up with an alternate bonus round on the fly as they had already heard it. Luckily we’re pretty good at what we do.

A team was sufficiently into Ariana Grande that they guessed that she starred in Gone With the Wind, and was the model for Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.

And one couple got married last Saturday & left for their honeymoon on Tuesday, but made a point of going to trivia on Monday because they knew they wouldn’t be able to make their usual weekly show.

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.

TEAM NAMES

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked for an Italian city, one team went with Mulan. Which was wrong, and is also a Disney film rather than an Italian city.

We asked a bonus question about Don Bradman’s most common test match score, and one player who hadn’t listened to the question ran up to us with 99.4 written down. First of all, that wasn’t his average. Second, we didn’t want his average, but the score he scored most frequently. It took a few minutes for one of his teammates to explain that to him.

Another team correctly identified that Guantanamera was a song from Cuba, but guessed that it was sung in Swedish rather than Spanish. (Or at least wrote down Swedish rather than Spanish.)

We asked for an actress who played a variety of films roles including Queen Elizabeth I, Katherine Hepburn, and Galadriel… and one team went with Queen Elizabeth I. Yes, they guessed that a Queen who died over 300 years before Katherine Hepburn was born, played Katherine Hepburn (and also herself) in film. Rather than, say, Cate Blanchett.

And one British couple on holiday liked our Monday show so much, that they came back to two more shows, finally winning on their third attempt on Thursday courtesy of some help from their family.

They REALLY got into our trivia.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When they couldn’t remember the Bradley Cooper’s name, one team gave us a series of films he was in. But they chose Ryan Reynolds films. No point there.

One team didn’t just recognise Jimi Hendrix, they gave us a comprehensive history of his short history in the US Army.

We had an Argentinian who disappointed his entire team by confessing he knew nothing about football.

When asked how many actors played the role of Pi in the film Life of Pi, one team answered with 3.14159… or pi.

We asked about the German tax authorities seizing a family dog. One team who hadn’t read that story answered that they seized their autographed photo of David Hasslehoff.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We mentioned the twist ending of The Sixth Sense and someone complained. YOU DON’T GET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SPOILERS FOR A 20 YEAR OLD MOVIE!

One team guessed that Australia produces 146 tonnes of bananas per person every year. That works out to over 2,000 bananas per person per day.

And one team came last out of a dozen teams this week. Three weeks ago they came first out of a dozen teams. You really never know what is going to happen from one week to the next at iQ Trivia.

See you next week.

A team mistook Wesley Snipes, a black man, for Clint Eastwood, who is not black the last time we checked.

When we asked why the man suing his parents for giving birth to him was suing his parents, one team got a point for the entirely accurate answer “because he’s an ungrateful little shit.”

And a group of pool players became so engrossed in our questions, that they stopped playing pool and started playing trivia.

See you next week.

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

We had numerous teams guess that the sports teams at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana were the Hunchbacks.

Once again, we had someone complain about the obscurity of a bonus question, and then get the bonus question. YOU DO NOT GET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT QUESTIONS ARE IF YOU GET THEM RIGHT!

One player who lives in Parramatta, failed to notice that Parramatta is a Sydney suburb spelled with a double T.

And one of our hosts had to change clothes before her show when she realised that her shirt fetured a picture of Audrey Hepburn, which was the answer to one of the jackpot questions.

See you next week.

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

This team came in last, but still knew enough about German cities to win the jackpot.

It was a big week for jackpots with three going off.

TEAM NAMES

You gave us plenty of misheard lyrics

Dyslexics on fire

Go go Jason Waterfalls

Bald headed woman, bald headed woman with fleas

Revved up like a douche

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked a bonus question about the largest country without rivers, someone guessed Australia. Sure we’re facing droughts, but really? Australia has no rivers?

We were giving the lyrics to a song for a bonus question, and we got as far as saying “hot, like, me, don’t, cha”, before the first team was willing to hazard a guess. And they didn’t even guess the song whose title we had just said seconds earlier.

And one of our regulars proved she could write backwards as quickly & clearly as forwards.

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.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Two teams tied for first place, and chose to split the prizes.

When faced with a bonus question and the hint that the person we were looking for was black, one team answered Martin Freeman.

PIC

Because apparently this guy is black.

One of our dilemma questions asked if people would rather lose a had or half of their teeth. We didn’t notice until after we had asked the question that one of our players only had one arm.

Instead of just answering a question on the Battle of Culloden, one team gave us a short essay on the details of the battle. They had really brushed up on the last place subject and wanted to show off their knowledge

When we asked about common words beginning with BRO, an unusually large number of teams went with “brothel”. A rather telling answer perhaps.

We asked a question about Detroit when a player from Detroit was attending just her second show. It seems her whole life had been leading to that moment, and she will be coasting on that answer for a long time.

And when one of our hosts found his microphone wouldn’t work, he managed the entire show on just his unamplified voice.

See you next week.

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

First of all, we have a new winner of the iQ Trivia Champions League.

And one of this week’s teams tied the record score at an iQ Trivia quiz, with 80 points.

Of course, they used their team name to heap scorn on the music bonus round, and then proceeded to get 5/5 on it.

From now on, if you’re going to slag off one of our bonus rounds, you had better have the good grace to fail at it.

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

One team misspelled a region of Italy by a single letter & missed out on the jackpot. We confirmed the spelling, and they were one letter off on the English spelling, and a different letter off on the Italian spelling.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team vandalised the Wikipedia page of Jonathan Thurston when the homework question asked for his middle name. It didn’t stay vandalised for long though, and everyone came up with the right answer in the end.

When we asked a question on Irish singers, we informed the crowd that Conor the Irishman at the bar was happy to give you the answer if you bought him a drink.

We asked what animal’s name is derived from Latin for hairy cat, and one team went with Platypus, because “plaity” describes a way you can wear your hair, and “puss” means cat.

When we asked one team to choose between two options on a 50/50 question, one player sagely noted “it’s definitely the first one… or the second.”

We allowed an Italian man named Marco to pronounce the names of Italian seasons, as his Italian pronunciation was marginally better than ours.

See you next week.
