One team mistook a picture of a young Lily Allen for Dave Grohl.

And if you’re going to cheat by looking up New Girl on your phone, you might not want to do it right in front of our host, and you might not want to continue the search while we are calling you out in front of everyone.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

After getting their answer sheet back for the second half, one team claimed there was nowhere to put their answers… because they hadn’t mastered the highly technical process of turning over their answer sheet to see the other side.

We asked about the largest Sydney suburbs beginning with RO, and one team asked if the population had to be alive. Because there are a lot of dead people in Rookwood Cemetary.

Instead of calling the people who carry a coffin pall bearers, one team called them ball bearers. Which is a VERY different thing.

When we asked a question about a medical procedure beginning with the letter V where a man is sterilised, one player laughed loud enough that everyone in the room heard. Because apparently vasectomies are hilarious.

See you next week.

WINNERS

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked a current events question about who was caring for the late Queen’s corgis, one team answered that it was Prince Andrew, perhaps because he was good at “grooming”.

As we were introducing a question about NBA player James Harden, one player said “he’s the guy with the huge beard”… just a split second before we asked what distinctive physical feature he was known for.

And a jackpot nearly went off when one team guessed correctly about an Australian animal, but spelled it “wichety grub”. We checked, and witchetty grub is preferred, but witchety grub and witjuti grub are also accepted spellings. And we are cleat that spelling counts in the jackpot round. So let this be a lesson that you should be careful what you write down in the jackpot round.

See you next week.

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

Bolivia borders Germany.

And when presented with 5 consecutive 50/50 questions, one team got literally all of them wrong. There’s just a 1 in 32 chance of doing that by accident.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We were hired to write & deliver Japanese trivia.

And a special bonus round asked players to name the most common surnames in Japan. The final two players were the Japanese Consul to Sydney, and a girl who didn’t speak English.

And this week in questions we can’t believe we had to answer… “Does Germany count as a country?”

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When they found themselves with a 1 point lead after the first bonus question, one team chanted “STOP THE COUNT! STOP THE COUNT!”

When we asked about Galway, one team sang Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran to find out if it mentioned what side of the country Galway was on.

Weight classes in boxing beginning with C? Forget Cruiserweight. It’s Chubbyweight or Chonkyweight.

We heard a new team saying the answer to a numerical bonus question several times, without writing it down, only to be beaten to the punch by a team who overheard them… and wrote it down.

And one team asked us what percent of teams gamble 5 points on the gambler’s question. Anecdotally we feel like it’s a lot, but that made us wonder what the answer would be if we looked at it scientifically. And that’s exactly what we’re going to to. Keep reading the week in review posts to find out.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

In keeping with our team name theme, one team guessed that I Love Rock & Roll was performed not by Joan Jett, but by Scott Morrison.

One team nearly won a jackpot, but they spelled their answer Garry instead of Gary… because someone on their team was named Garry. They would have gotten credit any other time except for in the jackpot round.

When we asked how long hugs are ideally supposed to take according to a scientific study, several teams tested the theory in the most scientific way they could think of… by hugging.

When faced with a question on Maggie Smith, one team could only come up with “that old English actress who isn’t Judi Dench or Helen Mirren”.

And we’ve had heaps of interest from corporate groups for trivia, including one show that was done on less than 24 hours notice. Let us know when you need us and we will get something together for you.
