INTERESTING MOMENTS

For the first time in our memory, every team out of the 9 that were playing gambled the full 5 points.

A new player learned that you shouldn’t yell out an answer to a bonus round, when another team wrote down his answer and won the point.

This week in strange moments to applaud… Hernias. Well apparently it was the first question one of our players got.

And our leaders have maintained their position, but there are plenty who can catch them

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Occasionally when we ask people to name a film in a picture question, we need to remind players that it’s easier to get the picture question if you actually look at the picture.

We were treated to an entire room full of trivia patrons awkwardly singing Bohemian Rhapsody out of key and usually with the wrong lyrics when we asked about the first & last words in the song.

And our leaders are still one win up in our quarterly tournament but there are plenty of other teams in hot pursuit.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Sydney suburbs beginning with La? La La Land. Which applies to the whole of the eastern suburbs.

One player from India was stereotyped as being an expert on cricket. Which might have been offensive except for the fact that it was extremely accurate.

When we gave a player in the categories bonus round the letter T, he tried to go for “torture” for “a reason to get fired” and “a crime”, which is fine, but also “a place to go on a date” and “something you do every day”. We have reported him to the police.

And our leaders managed another win and kept their place at the top of the table, but it’s still really close.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When asked about local streets, one team spent 30 minutes making an exhaustive map of Sydney streets… only to completely forget that Castlereagh Street exists.

A question about one word English football clubs, one team went with Inter Milan… which is two words, and decidedly not English.

In misspellings, we got “saxopooisg”.  And we still don’t know what it means.

And we’re about half way through the quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We have a team that always guesses Dua Lipa when they hear a modern female singer they don’t know. And they were thrilled that it paid off.

Someone mistook the film Wedding Crashers for Schindler’s List. That holocaust movie would have had a VERY different tone.

Julia Louis Dreyfus was mistaken for Julia Gillard. That would have made both Seinfeld and Prime Ministers question time very different.

And our leaders are still on top, but with a lower scoring win this week they lost their lead on highest average.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

We love it when a team comes last in trivia, still chooses to go in for the jackpot… and then wins it.

It doesn’t matter how you do on the quiz. The jackpot is entirely separate. You only need to know one thing, and you never know when you’re going to get lucky.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We played a clip of Return to Innocence by Enigma, and one team, helped considerably by their level of alcohol consumption, joined in enthusiastically with the native chanting… only to find out later that the chanting was actually about getting drunk.

What animal learned to use a stick? A stick insect.

We really owe a shout out to Hannah, who regularly wins our trivia in Dee Why, but isn’t allowed to win because she works there. But she does better than entire teams, and she does so while working behind the bar.

And there were some new winners, but no change at the very top of the leaderboard.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Created by Hans Christian Anderson, what literary character has a seaside statue in Copenhagen? Darryl Hannah in Splash apparently.

When we asked a dilemma about pissing yourself weekly at home or once a decade in front of a dozen people you know, one player threatened to wet himself right there… to prove some kind of point.

After we asked whether our host was taller or shorter than Aryna Sabalenka, one team asked how tall our host was. You have eyes. We are THIS tall.

And the quarterly tournament is taking shape and is very competitive both on highest total and highest average.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we ask about TV characters and you say they’re from your favourite show, but you can’t remember the name of the show… maybe it’s NOT your favourite show.

Kristen Bell in The Good Place was described as “the chick from Forgetting Sarah Marshall”.

A team tried for 5 minutes to argue their case on a “what do they have in common” question without actually knowing who some of the people were.

And we’ve still got one team who are undefeated, and they’re on top in our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

And our leaders have clinched first place in the tournament, though with two quizzes happening next week, they can still be caught for highest average but only of very specific circumstances are met.

See you next week.
