INTERESTING MOMENTS

Faced with a dilemma question on whether Dumbledore or Gandalf had a better beard, 17 teams wound up with a tie. How? Because one team said “Hagrid.”

A disease caused by pressure on the eye? Gonorrhoea.

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.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We were hired to write & deliver Japanese trivia.

One of the players was amazed that we were able to write questions about Japan despite not being Japanese.

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.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked a slightly risque question about pegging at some of our shows, and we’re pretty sure some people got it wrong rather than admit to knowing what pegging is.

Apparently doing air guitar helps you identify a song when you only get to hear the guitar part of We Will Rock You.

One team left the homework on the Chinese Zodiac up to one member of their team who was Chinese, assuming he would know it without googling. It sounds like ethnic stereotyping, and maybe it was, but it worked. He did know it without googling.

When we asked a beer question and told the room the bar sold this exact beer, one player went to the bar to order “the Trivia Special”. Hey, that’s just buying a drink.

Faced with trying to name Pierce Brosnan Bond films, one team said Mamma Mia… which would have been a VERY different film.

And one team of first timers announced at the start of the show that they were going to cheat. They came in last. So if they cheated, they really suck at it.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

Winning a jackpot on a lucky guess is still winning.

People keep winning.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We played Dirrrty by Christina Aguilera, and one team guessed that it was the Australian National Anthem. That would make official occasions VERY different.

One team answered Korea to a question where the answer was Japan… and then tried to claim that they were the same thing. Uhhhh… no. We pretty sure both hundreds of millions of Korean & Japanese people would disagree with you.

And our current events question about Quadball? One team thought that was dodgeball played on quad bikes. It’s wrong, but someone REALLY needs to invent that sport.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team shot from last place at halftime to first place at full time. The gambler’s question did its thing.

Beginning with the letter G, what currency was used in the Netherlands before the Euro? Ganja, according to one team.

One player was caught googling the cast of Inglourious Basterds right after we asked a question about it. He claimed he was on Hinge. (You’re not making us like you more.)

A team of Sri Lankans didn’t answer Sri Lanka on a cricket question when it was one of the five correct answers.

And one team argued about whether to risk it and go for a fourth point in our minefield bonus round or play it safe with the three points they thought they had. They argued for a good five minutes before opting to play it safe… and then realised that all three of the answers they went with were wrong.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our hosts got a nice message from one of their teams.

A team that fancied themselves as being good at history got 1 out of 5 when we asked them to put a series of events in order. (Which is why you should never say what you’re good at.)

A passer by who wasn’t playing heard a question on English cities and yelled out “AMSTERDAM”. Luckily, nobody listened to him.

One team saw a picture of Prince Andrew as a young helicopter pilot in the Falklands War, and guessed that it was Harry Potter.

And one team wrote out all the lyrics to Advance Australia Fair to try to get a question right… and then didn’t.

See you next week.
