INTERESTING MOMENTS

One member of one team chose the special subject, and then wasn’t there the next week. He has since been banned from choosing special subjects.

A bonus question on countries NOT including the letter “I” drew guesses of China, Indonesia, Brazil, and Nigeria… from veteran players who really need to learn the alphabet.

One team answered a question on European geography with “Czech Republic or Czechia or whatever they’re calling themselves this week”. Yeah, we’re going to be walking that line until that question gets settled.

When we announced that the answer to one question was “sexual harassment”, one team at a corporate show applauded. Whether or not they were sent away to a training seminar we’re not sure.

When we asked a bonus question how long Great Britain had been an island, one team guessed zero years. Zero. As in Great Britain is not currently an island. Which is an obviously wrong answer… which was still closer than everyone else’s answer, so they still got a point.

We had to explain that Don’t Stop Believing, a song released over a decade after the Beatles broke up, and over year after John Lennon was shot, was not a song by The Beatles.

See you next week.

On a do the math and show your work question, one team got every element of the question right, and then said that 4 * 4 – 9 = 5.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A nurse got a question on nursing wrong.

Rail workers got a question on Australian rail gauges wrong.

On the other hand, following a bonus question about math, one player spent a few minutes working out the answer exactly. There were no points to be gained by it, he just really wanted to be precise.

And that was worth a point.

We played Our House by Madness, and one team answered that it was “that song from the Chemist Warehouse ads”.

When asking about the country with the southernmost IKEA, we had to explain that Antarctica is not a country, and also that there aren’t any IKEA outlets there.

These two rugby league commentators were described as Magnum PI, and Professor X.

And two teams came very close to splitting a jackpot, when they both knew the first two questions, but neither could crack the third.

See you next week.

WINNERS

JACKPOT

Knowing about The Fighter, and then knowing about fish won them the jackpot.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A player came to iQ Trivia for the first time because she was shortly going to be appearing on The Chase and wanted the practice. She came up to face the challenge of naming animals on the Chinese Zodiac. Here’s hoping she swears less on national television.

When we asked for an adjective for TriviArt, one new player immediately leapt to “voluptuous”, not knowing what the purpose was. Her mind was just consumed with the word voluptuous.

How many actors played Pi in Life of Pi? How about 3.14159? (Well some of them were quite small so maybe they don’t count as full people.)

Who built the Labyrinth in Greek mythology? David Bowie.

And one player aced a couple of questions on Hanson… before indicating that she had a Hanson tattoo.

And perhaps the biggest story of the week… one of our hosts became a father.

Congrats to Nikkita & Joe on their new arrival. We expect to see David down at trivia soon.

See you next week.

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

First of all we have a bunch of live shows back in operation.

Our Goulburn show at Tatts on Wednesday has been back for a while.

And in Canberra, the Old Canberra Inn & Dickson Taphouse came back this week, and Siren will be back on Monday the 15^th.

WINNERS

Unusual things overheard during quizzes and presented here devoid of context… “I told you, I am an expert on sperm!”

See you next week.

How many fingers in a Kit Kat?

Does it actually rain cats and dogs?

I bet you can’t name a Taylor Swift breakup song.

What are the two main characters in Will & Grace

Can you name a four letter word beginning with W?

How many countries are the in G20?

Washington CD is an anagram of what capital city?

What is Tiger Woods’ nickname?

Flamboyant Chimney

Spooky Cassowary

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team at an online show was the only one to get the gambler’s question right, and they only got it right because the scribe overruled the rest of the team.

Once in a while you come across statements in the middle of the quiz that would be absurd or offensive in any other context. A player saying “yay Hitler” when Hitler was the answer to a question is one of those moments.

We asked for AFL clubs that wear the colour white, and one team asked if “under the nose” counted. Well if you mean what we thin you mean… then no.

In addition to their answer of “testicles”, one team drew a pair of testicles, perhaps assuming that our host might forget how to read.

We asked a question about the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, and five minutes later, the musician outside started playing Bohemian Rhapsody.

One team thought a picture question on Die Hard was either an easy three points or nothing. But sure enough, one team got Die Hard, Bruce Willis, but couldn’t remember John McClane. HOW DO YOU FORGET JOHN MCCLANE and all he did to protect the innocent people at Nakatomi Plaza?

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

In more than one instance, the winners were the team that had chosen the last place subject. It makes a real difference.

Common words beginning with UN? How about ultra, urine, and never as suggested by one team. (It does pay to listen to the questions.)

One of our hosts at one point found himself explaining anatomy to a team, before realising they were nurses.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about a world class soccer player, one team came up with… “that other bastard, you know, the one that isn’t Ronaldo.”

The egg & spoon race is part of a triathlon.

A question on the most common words ending with DLE led one team to the word “fondle”. Which probably says something about them.

And a bonus question on sexual arousal really gave us a frankly disturbing window into what our players are into. Before someone thought of music, melolagnia was guessed to be a state of sexual arousal brought on by sunburns, feet, having a tongue in your ear, pictures of your grandparents, and urine. Some of you people are freaks!

See you next week.
