Once in a while knowing about Austrian physicists turns into cash, like it did for these three.

TEAM NAMES

Here are some solid gold ways to annoy people.

Asking a Canadian “what part of America are you from”

Ask a Trump supporter to spell “illiterate”

Ask Trump if he wants nachos tonight

Blocking an escalator (pisses off everyone)

Asking Scottish people whereabouts in England they are from

Tell a nerd that Pi equals exactly 3

Asking Asians when they’re going to become doctors

Ask a politician if they’re a duel citizen

Voting No

Want to buy a house? Get a better job.

How to piss off British people… say “I hope you don’t mind but I added the milk first.”

Asking a vegan where they get their protein

When people don’t put down a team name at trivia (YES!)

and finally… Asking a trivia host to repeat a question a dozen times. We can assure you this WILL piss of a trivia host.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We instituted a new policy. If your team is made up entirely of people from Hokkaido, Japan, (like one team this week) you get a bonus point. Playing trivia in a different culture and a different language like that is worth a point.

After a question about the correct length for a tie, every man in the room who was wearing a tie discovered they had it at the wrong length.

And we found out that one of our regular players leaves our Tuesday night show in Chatswood and then takes the train home to Lithgow in the Blue Mountains (which we calculate as a 3.5 hour trip.) For your dedication to the trivial arts, we salute you.

See you next week for more iQ Trivia.

In news that will confirm national stereotypes, a team made up primarily of Scotsmen was the only ones to say they would take half a million dollars in exchange for being rained on constantly for the rest of their lives.

And finally, when we asked a question on Pringles, one player asked if his team could get a bonus point for having a Pringles tattoo. Well if you’re willing to show everyone the side of your ass, you get a bonus point.

When asked to play an audio clip again, one of our hosts imitated the bass line from Radar Love.

Two teams tied for the closest guess on the length of time for the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait… with three days. How they both managed to guess the exact same wrong answer so far off the correct answer of 209 is beyond us.

When asked how many were killed by John Coffey in The Green Mile, one team argued it was -1, because he brought a dead mouse back to life.

We spotted two players whose native language was not English humming Rock the Casbah by The Clash into the Shazam app because they didn’t know the title.

On a jackpot question, one team guessed (we suspect facetiously) that the longest serving Prime Minister of Israel was Yassir Arafat.

Someone mistook Fiddler on the Roof for The Princess Bride.

When we were listing film roles for a bonus question and looking for Steve Buscemi as an answer, two teams who hadn’t listened to the question rushed up to us with the answer Con Air.

The blokiest team in the place turned out to be the biggest fans of Meryl Streep’s performance in The Devil Wears Prada.

The biggest cheer of the week was for the team who came in last for the second consecutive week, and has become something of a specialist is choosing the last place subject.

One player complained that there were no questions on sport, five minutes after we asked a five point question on Major League Baseball, because baseball isn’t the right kind of sport, like NRL. Twenty minutes later, we asked an NRL question, which he got wrong, complaining that it was the wrong kind of NRL question.

One team, having chosen their football club’s latest season as their last place subject, couldn’t remember how many goals they had scored. COME ON! We are rigging this in your favour and you’re still not getting it!
