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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

They won banknotes, for knowing about the people on Australian banknotes.

We’re not sure if any of them were French lawyers, but they got a question on the French word for lawyer that won them cash.

And both of these teams got lucky (we’re pretty sure it was luck) on Northern Territory Chief Ministers. (One of them nearly talked themselves out of the right answer.)

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A lightning round question asked about household objects beginning with F that circulate air resulted in a player having to pass, despite the fact that he was standing under a fan and we were pointing at it.

After years of bonus questions telling people the first team to write down the right answer & show it to us wins, one team immediately wrote down “the right answer”. It’s cheeky, it’s clever in it’s own way, and somehow, we had never seen anyone try it. So we gave them a point.

We asked about the height of a 37m tall object, and got guesses ranging from 15m to 200m… because most people have no sense of scale.

When we asked for African countries spelled with the letter Z, one team came back with Zuid-Afrika, which is South Africa in Afrikaans. Which was a good solution, considering that we didn’t explicitly say we wanted the answer in English. Of course, on the same question, another team answered with “that fake country Eddie Murphy was from in Coming to America.”

One team held on to their answer sheet after we called on the to be handed in, and got zero points for round 2.

And finally, we’ve noticed that during lightning rounds, teams often tend to send men up to answer questions. At one point this week, in a lightning round, there were five women up at the front of the room.

See you next week.

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Putting events in order can be tough because getting one wrong can put everything else out of order. And when you put the birth or Jonah Hill before the Battle of Gallipoli, it’s going to be tough to do well.

We had a bit of a celebrity sighting at one of our shows.

Yes, it’s Dunny Man, who it turns out is pretty good at trivia, but not so good at homework questions.

And we nearly gave away a jackpot, but one team couldn’t quite spell Golda Meir. Started with Mayer, then changed it to Meir, and then went one change to far, settling on Mier.

Close, but you’ll have to come back next week to win it.

See you next week.

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team who wasn’t great at thinking of six letter Sydney suburbs beginning with O gave us a hangman setup and invited us to play.

A Scotsman couldn’t identify the Scottish inventor who developed the steam engine with the first name James and a surname beginning with W.

A team full of guys drinking beer struggled to think of a commonly four letter words beginning with the letters BEE.

When they couldn’t remember the name of Rolf from the Sound of Music, one team described him as “Liesl’s treacherous Nazi ass of a boyfriend.”

When Phillip of Macedonia sent a message to Sparta saying “If I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.” The Spartans responded simply by saying “if”. But one team had another theory on the one word Spartan response.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

They turned up with 20 minutes left in the quiz, but still wanted to play the jackpot… and won.

And they knew just enough about the cast of Big to take home cash. (We managed to get a photo of them after they left the bar.)

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team wrote their answers on three separate sheets of paper, none of which were the actual answer sheet. Because apparently putting the answers in the allocated spaces is too complicated.

The Rock’s occupation was described as “wrestler, the fake ass kind.”

Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump was described as “that wheelchair guy who was also in CSI: NY.”

One team opted against a question on castanets despite having three Spanish speakers on their team, and then got a question on French cities wrong despite having a French citizen on the team.

The word “pisspot” was given as one of the most common words ending in POT.

And after getting the gambler’s questions wrong, one team tried to convince us that one of their number had gambled 5 points by mistake, and could we just deduct one point instead. Yeah… nah.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

It took them two questions, but they took home the jackpot.

And they took first place, a jackpot, and were the sole dissenting voice in the dilemma question. You’re allowed to hate on these guys.

TEAM NAMES

You had a lot of examples of things that are shown in a wildly unrealistic way in films.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

RuPaul was described as “that drag queen who features in Taylor Swift’s music video ‘You need to calm down’… which, as we confirmed, is correct.

On the other hand, one team described the discus as “that heavy frisbee thing”.

We hinted that there would be a “Butterfly” question. One team wedged “butterfly” into three answers, but not the one that actually applied to butterflies.

When looking for the most common words ending in “off”, we got a window into our teams, some of whom went with Hasslehoff, Smirnoff, and jackoff.

A new team misunderstood the gambler’s question, and thought you got an automatic five points for getting it right. NOOOOOOOOPE!

And a veteran team dropped the ball by misreading the homework question an giving us a list of Israeli Prime Ministers rather than Presidents.

See you next week.

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

JACKPOTS

We nearly gave away a jackpot on a question on Austrian scientists, but someone guessed that the namesake of Mach numbers was Ernest Mach, rather than Ernst Mach. (They ever wrote down Ernst, before crossing it out and going with Ernest.)

TEAM NAMES

Most of you offered a lot of assistance to aliens looking to abduct you. Here’s what you suggested would work to get you in a trap.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When one host came down with tonsillitis, we arranged a fill in on 60 minutes notice.

We asked for countries within 1,500km of a famous site in India, and one team forgot to say India, despite us giving fairly obvious hints.

Zooey Deschanel of New Girl was described as “the sister of that chick from Bones”, which wasn’t exactly what we were looking for, but which wasn’t actually incorrect.

Upon hearing a song by N’Sync, one team answered that it was “The Backstreet Boys” or N’Sync which are basically the same band.

The name of Thor’s hammer was given as “Ron Jeremy.”

And for Melbourne Cup day, one of our shows increased the number of gambler’s questions from one to four. Australians, it seems, really like to gamble.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team continued to sing the title of a song we played for several seconds after the music stopped, and then failed to answer with the name of the song. Meanwhile every team around them got it.

The Murray and Darling rivers both flow into Sydney’s Botany Bay, according to one team.

Someone guessed that the slave trade became illegal in America after the Concorde first flew.

To complement the A-League, apparently there is a women’s competition called the Double D League.

And one player singlehandedly ran through half of the final round of our lightning round, earning a round of applause from the whole room.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

They came in first and made a sufficiently educated guess on post-communist European Prime Ministers.

They turned their knowledge on French colonial history into cash.

And they knew what they needed to know about African languages (and got both of the other questions too, so there were covered regardless of what happened.)

TEAM NAMES

You’ve got some odd habits if your team names are anything to go by. (Almost as odd as our hosts.)

Rotating dishes so they don’t feel left out.

I can’t leave the house if I hear a crow. I need to wait until I hear another bird.

I watch every movie with the subtitles on.

I eat the biscuit end of a Maxibon first.

Secret cake eaters at midnight

I have long nipple hair. No seriously, it’s really long.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team made up of two Mongolians, a Chilean, and their English language teacher chanced across a show that happened to have a question on the Mongolian flag, and another on the top level internet domain of Chile. We don’t think we can calculate the odds of this happening. Maybe you can.

We were actually asked the question “are you sure Andorra is still in Europe?” Well, unless if has been plucked out of the Pyrenees in the last couple of hours… yes we are sure.

One team attempted to use Russian in their TriviArt entry, but it turns out our host is fluent. Our hosts are pretty sharp.

One of our hosts asked a question about quotes from Braveheart, and was asked to do them in an accept. Noooooooope!

Someone who got a jackpot question wrong asked us WHY Trevor Noah wasn’t on Saturday Night Live. Well… if you want to know you can probably get better results by asking the makers of Saturday Night Live rather than a random Australian trivia host.

See you next week.

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

The Thai bar staff at one venue new SHOCKINGLY little about Thailand.

We were looking for the most common word ending with IAN, and got some very odd guesses, including complain, which has the wrong order of letters, comedian, Asian, Canadian, and lesbian, before someone came up with Christian. Perhaps our players just aren’t that pious.

When asked how long it would take to fall from the Harbour Bridge, one team guessed 31 seconds… which wouldn’t even be true if you had a parachute.

Someone who was out of trivia ideas guessed that Tony Abbott was the leader of Libya, and Brett McKenzie did a stint as Prime Minister of New Zealand.

We had an argument over whether or not ice hockey is a real sport. (For the record, IT IS!)

JACKPOTS

This guy won a jackpot all on his own.

They knew enough about the Velveteen Rabbit to win cash.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our teams who wasn’t able to come back to use their winnings made a point of spreading it around to the other teams.

The band Train was described as “that band with Liv Tyler’s dad”, and “Oasis”.

One team got the titled of the 90s hit “Interstate Love Song” but couldn’t remember the name of the band. They wound up going with “F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! I know this band! Scott Weiland was the lead singer and they had hits with Plush and Vaseline!”

See you next week.
