We had one team in the bonus round bid 15 straight off the bat, and managed to name 10 countries.

Another bid 10, and then was saddened to find out the subject was field hockey, telling us afterwards that he had no idea what field hockey was.

And one team won on their first try against a room full of veterans.  It can happen.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

To settle their view on our dilemma question, one player committed to holding an egg in his hand all day on Sunday. We will let you know if he made it the whole day.

Someone tried to game theory the dilemma question, assuming that everyone else would take a deal where they always find $20 when they reach in their pocket, but it’s been taken from someone who needs it. Every other team voted no, and they screwed themselves out of a point.

Someone questioned our math, and half way through explaining it, realised that he was wrong. And admitted as much in front of everyone. Well played!

Just a reminder, when we mention Hitler, even when just reading out an answer, you really don’t need to cheer.

It was remarked that one player who won the bonus round this week really knew a lot about 19 year old girls.

One player thought the six million dollar man was Steve BANNON. No! Very much no!

And one team had to leave early but left us some iQ Trivia cranes.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our gambler’s questions was decided because a critical mass of teams assumed every team would take the money under any circumstances, no matter how ridiculous. It was a moment of pure game theory.

A question on the Mona Lisa’s hands had literally every team doing a Mona Lisa impression.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about the number of holes on belts, someone on every team removed their belt. Yes, we effectively invented strip trivia.

One player’s initial guess on a language question was shot down as ridiculous by his teammates, before several hints led them back towards the fact that he had been right all along. Smugness ensued.

When we played a song by the Cranberries, one team answered that it was titled “the one that isn’t Zombie.”

A question on actors in Home Alone resulted in answers of Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci… and “the other guy”.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about Australian cities ending with G, we had to clarify that they had to be ACTUAL cities rather than made up cities, and that you couldn’t just accidentally misspell a real city. Sydneyg? No.

One team had a long & involving argument about whether or not they should take a beer or a bonus point after a question. They argued about that more than any of the actual questions.

And when they forgot to do their homework on Japanese mountains, one team guessed at Kilimanjaro.

See you next week.
