INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team gave us a summary of the plot of To Kill A Mockingbird including character names, but couldn’t remember the name of the book.

One player had sufficiently little faith in his teammates that he charged back from the bar in the middle of ordrering to answer a question rather than risk them messing it up.

When we asked for London football clubs, we didn’t expect someone to go with Liverpool.

And our quarterly tournament has a clear leader as we approach the half way point.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

If you want to contest a question on Transformers vs Electronic music, and you have highly detailed info on an obscure Transformers character AND a Transformers chest tattoo… we’re probably going to take your word for it.

We got a complaint that a 1991 Morgan Freeman film was “before my time” despite the fact that they got a 1989 Morgan Freeman film which was even more “before their time”.

We expected when we asked about states that had a city called Kansas City, that everyone would go for Kansas. Three teams went for Texas instead.

One team nearly got a jackpot, but their answer was Kirribatti instead of Kiribati. Them’s the rules.

And our quarterly tournament has a new leader.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Team that lost an NRL grand final? The Swans. Well I would think so, given that they don’t even play the sport.

When we asked teams to identify the film given frequently asked question, one team not only got it, but answer the questions too.

One team noted that they were very angry about a question on gravity. Why they were angry at one of the fundamental forces of the universe we don’t know.

And we have new leaders with a slim lead in our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

One very performative team didn’t just answer that a classical clip was Ode to Joy, they acted it out.

Where was Love Island UK filmed? Epstein Island said one team.

And we’ve got new leaders in the quarterly tournament, and a score of 80 as the highest average.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Teams the Wallabies have lost to a lot… Penrith Panthers, Eels, and Brisbane Tigers. None of which play rugby union, and one of which isn’t even a team in anything.

Shakespeare plays ending with T? How about Macbett, and The Taming of the C*nt?

Countries with R as the second letter? How about the Frilippines?

When the last place subject was Cher, one team guessed that one of the answers would be auto-tune… and then we asked about the Cher Effect as heard on her song Believe.

And our quarterly tournament has restarted.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a picture question on fonts, and one team had products with both fonts on their table… and got them both wrong.

Bruce Willis’ character in The Sixth Sense? “The dead guy”. Well, it’s not wrong.

One team saw a high school photo of Kevin Rudd and thought it was Julia Gillard. That long 70s hair can really throw you.

And our quarterly tournament has a result, with The Smith Family taking top spot, and That Sounds Like A You Problem having the highest average.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

Just a reminder that your jackpot answers have to be EXACT.

Warnambool and Warrnambool are different.  Luckily this team knew the rules (and only missed out on $16 anyway).

Schizophrenic Illusion

Unicorn Fate

INTERESTING MOMENTS

If you ask Chat GPT our Google auto-complete question… yes… that IS cheating. And it didn’t even give you the right answer.

Two teams had drastically different reactions to the song “Like a G6”. All blank faces on one side of the room… singing and dancing along on the other.

We got a guess of Mongolia when we asked about most common countries of birth in Australia in 1911. And it wasn’t a “well put that down because we have nothing else”. They were really confident.

And there’s one week left in our quarterly tournament, and we’ve got a tie on highest average.  So if you are one of the tied teams there will be a tiebreaker question on next week’s quiz.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about films that share their names with cities, and one team mistook Casablanca for Canberra. Having Humphrey Bogart run a bar in Tuggeranong would have been a very different movie.

We have a team that always guesses 11 when given a bonus question to which they get just one guess. It’s a matter of principle for them to guess 11 before they actually hear the question. This week, they guessed 11 was the year the FIFA World Cup was cancelled for the first time, and it was also the year that the last woman was hanged in Australia.

One team admitted that a picture question involving Meryl Streep dressed as a Rabbi and Taylor Swift dressed as a man made them question their sexuality.

And our leaders are still on top but it’s close and there are a number of teams that can reel them in in the final weeks of our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team guessed Olivia Rodrigo when the answer was Jason Derulo. Which is probably the first time those two have been mistaken for each other.

We had a bonus round question on The Professor from The Chase… and as it happens The Professor himself was there. (And they were the only team to get it.)

One of our hosts had a parent present at a quiz, and they got the know your host question wrong. Thanks a lot… DAD!

A team described The Governess from The Chase as “the one who looks like Miss Trunchbull”.

And we have new leaders in the quarterly tournament, both in total points and highest average.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Similarly, a lot of teams guessed Charlize Theron in the bonus round where the correct answer was Danniel Radcliffe. Had Charlize played Harry Potter, that REALLY would have pissed off JK Rowling.

You really have to take our word for it on the know your host question. One team refused to believe that one of our hosts didn’t take their shoes off right at the door when coming home.

Hot air balloons were invented by the Luft Brothers of Germany. Apparently there were 99 of them.

And there’s been some changes in our quarterly tournament. There’s a tie at the top being broken in favour of the team with the highest high score, and our previous highest average leader has dropped out of the top 12.

See you next week.
