WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

They knew how many inches were in a mile (or they knew it close enough to be within the margin of error we allowed.)

TRIVIART

Silenced Igloo

Nutty Umbrella

Salty Hat

Wet Barbra Streisand

Dank Girl from Titanic

Smelly Plow

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team didn’t know who performs the theme song to Big Bang Theory, but they wrote all the lyrics and added “surely that’s worth a point”. Yes. Yes it is.

Another team went way beyond writing the next line in the Phantom Planet song California, by writing the whole verse.

When we asked how many schooners were in 12 pints, one team said 4, proving that they either don’t know anything about beer or they are terrible at math.

And these four won for the first time ever after months of coming to iQ Trivia, and were stunned into silence.

See you next week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 20 October 2018

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

This team knew a lot about Czech cities and won cash.

TEAM NAMES

It takes one to knot one

A date worse than death

Another one bites the crust

You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few legs

A cat has nine wives

Funk it

Like two chips passing in the night

Opening a can of words

Tits and bobs

Too many cocks spoil the broth

I can’t twink straight

Don’t quit your gay job

Cup of hoe

What’s up Coc?

Butter out than in

Two sheeps to the wind

The grass is greener on the other ride

I’m a kid in a candy stove

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drunk

Eat around the bush

You miss 100% of the shits you don’t take

The captain goes down with the shit

Let he who is without sin cast the first scone

Feck you Bill!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck food?

Flogging a dead whore

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fist and you feed him for life.

Floating Public Transport

Smiley Bawbag

Flaming Lips

Crying Pumpkin

Sticky Trump

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had given a hint that there would be a question that might make players shout hallelujah as a hint that hallelujah would be an answer to one of our questions. And sure enough, an hour later, one new player shouted out “HALLELUJAH” while we were in the midst of asking that question, and everyone caught on that this was the hallelujah question.

We gave one team a point for saying that funnel web spiders could cure hangovers by causing death, because it is technically correct.

When we asked for national capitals beginning with the letter C, more than one team forget to say Canberra… you know… the capital of the country they were actually in at the time.

We overheard one player say “this is the first time I’ve ever wished I watched more Vin Diesel films.”

And finally, two teams racked up very high scores this week. One managed to beat the old record score by one point with 79.

Unfortunately for them, that was the day after this team beat their old record by two points with a new record score of 80.

We’re sure this competition will continue for a long time to come.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

In a lightning round on the letter M, someone said that Detroit was the largest city in Connecticut, and after being eliminated changed their answer to Kentucky, then changed their answer again to Massachusetts, none of which were correct.

And another player prompted us to make a lightning round question more specific when she said that having 12 shots of vodka would make her feel “relaxed” instead of “intoxicated”.

We asked about the character who say the most words in Forrest Gump, and one team forgot to say Forrest Gump.

A player from Birmingham in England managed to misspell Birmingham, thus contributing to certain stereotypes about people from Birmingham.

See you next week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 6 October 2018

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

WINNERS

It was a short week this week, but if you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOTS

This team didn’t win the quiz, but they did win the jackpot.

And this team seems to win a jackpot every time they come to trivia. They’ve never won a quiz, but they’ve frequently won jackpots.

TEAM NAMES

You came up with plenty of one line jokes.

Donald Trump is an excellent world leader.

Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.

Kleptomaniacs take things literally.

My wedding was so beautiful, even the cake was in tiers.

I asked my North Korean friend how things were, and he said he couldn’t complain.

Whiteboards are remarkable.

Life is like toilet paper… you’re either on a roll or taking shit from some asshole.

A man walked into a bar… ouch.

There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary… those who do and those who don’t.

I realised I was dyslexic when I attended a toga party dressed as a goat.

My pet donkey is a real ass.

The bad thing about being modest is you can’t boast about it.

TRIVIART

Chicken Moth

Sultry Sparrow

Shiny South African

French Black Sabbath

Slimy Disney World

Bouncy Turtle

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team asked a passerby if they knew anything about A-league clubs, and that passerby has now been drafted on to that team.

Someone misheard us & thought we asked if Keith Richards was aged 118 in this photograph taken in 1962.

Because Keith Richards is obviously a vampire.

A doctor insisted that rhabdomyositis was sufficiently similar to rhabdomyolysis, and to be frank, we were not especially keen to argue with them.

We overheard someone reject a correct option on a gambler’s question, claiming that “if that was true I would have heard about it in pub trivia somewhere.” Well friend, you DID hear about it at pub trivia, and you heard about it at Australia’s most INTERESTING pub trivia.

When one team trolled us by choosing Glass Manufacturing in the 1920s as their special subject, we trolled them back by asking a question about someone from the 1920s whose surname was Glass.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

With a huge team, they had one person who knew the answer to this week’s jackpot question and took home some cash. (And splitting it between that many people didn’t detract from their glee at getting it at all.)

Laverne & Shiraz

Pointy Pig Doing Ballet

INTERESTING MOMENTS

An Irishman mistook this photo of the Nile river delta for the Shannon river delta.

You know, because of all those deserts in Ireland.

One of our hosts discovered that he knew more about Hinduism than a couple of actual Hindus.

Two Indian players gambled & lost on a cricket question where the answer was Sachin Tendulkar. (And then chose him as their special subject. Ohhhhhhh the irony!)

A team made up entirely of women from Texas & Finland found themselves regularly consulting a table of Australians on the Australian content, and wound up getting the final prize for having just the right amount of ignorance.

And two players came from interstate for one of our quizzes. (Well maybe there were other reasons, but we’re claiming it.)

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When trying to come up with Robert DeNiro films, one team guessed Heat for all three of the questions they didn’t know, and were wrong on all three. Sometimes hedging your bets doesn’t pay off.

A British player got a question on Australian TV, until he allowed his Australian girlfriend to talk him into changing it.

A young Bill Clinton was mistaken for James Dean.

In what we are hoping was a mental slip & not a legitimate case of mistaken identity, one team identified a picture of John Lennon & Yoko Ono at their famous bed in as being John Wayne & Yoko Ono.

A real live Greek person failed at getting a Greek question, and a real live Indian person failed at getting a question on Indian languages.

A German got a question on German cities wrong, and two Russians got a question on Russian cities wrong.

See you next week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 15 September 2018

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

Four teams knew how to do the math on one of our jackpot questions, but three of them did the math wrong leaving these two to take the jackpot.

This team was similarly good (or lucky) at math and took home over $180.

And this team did the same (but didn’t take home quite as much).

TEAM NAMES

You had a lot of questions about to song lyrics.

What if my anaconda DOES want some?

What if my anaconda DON’T like big butts and I COULD lie?

What if my hips DID lie?

What if God DIDN’T save the Queen?

What if my heart WON’T go on?

What if the Rolling Stones COULD get some satisfaction?

What if God WASN’T one of us?

What if video SAVED the radio star?

What if tonight’s NOT going to be a good night?

What if I DON’T wake up when September ends?

What if the horse HAD a name?

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One player got a bonus point on a question about the Rubber Duckie song from Sesame Street by doing a remarkably spot on impression of Ernie.

They also got a bonus point for going beyond the call of duty on a history question by identifying the exact date of the Battle of Crecy.

And another player said they were rather proud not to know the next line in a Taylor Swift song.

When we asked how many teeth adults are meant to have, most of the room immediately began counting.

A team got a bonus point for adding a long biography of Chris Pratt’s character from Guardian’s of the Galaxy and a full explanation of the scene we played a clip of, because that level of enthusiastic nerding is worth a point (even if it made no difference to the final result.)

We awarded five entirely meaningless points to one of the chef’s who happened to be in the trivia area when we were playing an audio question on Kung Fu Fighting, because we were sufficiently impressed with his dancing.

And we had another entry in the list of stupid questions we’ve been asked, when we were asked if a war that a song was about was fought before or after the song was written. Because there are a lot of songs written about wars that are yet to be fought.

Finally, one team decided against chipping in for the jackpot round, and after we asked the question, tried to slip in their (correct) answer with all the others, on something other than the jackpot answer sheets we handed out.  ATTENTION ALL iQ TRIVIA PLAYERS, IF YOU DON’T CHIP IN FOR THE JACKPOT ROUND YOU DON’T GET TO HAZARD A GUESS.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When one of our player commented that we were allowed to ask question about things that happened since the year 2000, we diligently pointed out the several times we explicitly asked about pop culture since then.

As opposed to The King & I being banned in Thailand, one team guessed that the banned film we were looking for was Some Like It Hot on account of it being offensive to ladyboys.

A veteran team demanded an explanation to a logic question, only to realise that they had written down some of the relevant information incorrectly.

See you next week.

  • INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had to explain to one team that Tasmania is not a coastal city in Queensland.

We gave a point to a team who guessed that the cookbook “Crook to Cook” was written by Martha Stewart instead of Snoop Dogg, because it would be equally accurate.

Instead of sending Peter Dutton a potato, one team guessed that a website had sprung up enabling Australians to send Peter Dutton a halal snack pack.

When they couldn’t remember the name Giovanni Ribisi, one team answered with “the guy who played Phoebe’s younger brother on Friends.”

Instead of lifting the 322kg Dinnie stones in Scotland, more than one team responded that an Australian woman had recently lifted “the glass ceiling.”

Teams got bonus points for accurately writing Tokyo in kanji and for giving their answer of iron oxide as Fe2O3 and got a bonus point for their efforts after we confirmed their accuracy.

We had one guess that the financial term of ETF stood for Enormous Twats of Finance.

And finally, the team of finance twats that inspired that creative answer got every element of a math question right, and then dramatically dropped the ball by doing the sums wrong. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR MONEY.

See you next week.

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

These newbies were the only ones who entered the jackpot round, and they managed to not talk themselves out of the right answer.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A Colombian player failed to correctly answer the jackpot question, which was on the coat of arms of Colombia. His teammates won’t let him live that down for a long time.

Dacryphilia was defined as the desire to see people getting “dacked”.

One played complained that a question about famous figures named James was too hard, before being baffled by a closed door. If doors are too complicated for you, trivia will probably be too hard also. (That may explain why they proceeded to cheat repeatedly, to fail at cheating every time they tried, and to come in last before quitting at half time.)

And one team complained that the very first question on the political leanings of American celebrities was “way too hard” and then proceeded to get 5/5 on it. If you get 5/5 on a question, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS SAYING IT’S TOO HARD!

See you next week.
