INTERESTING MOMENTS

We’ve hit a decade at one of our venues. Yes it’s been 10 years since Joe started hosting at the Old Canberra Inn, and the occasion was marked with t-shirts, and a mock assault with a sugar glass bottle that luckily went off without a hitch.

The answer to one gambler’s question was Nacho, and one team got it wrong despite ordering nachos.

And after coming second for 6 weeks in a row and attending for months without a win, one team finally managed their first ever victory at iQ Trivia.

Our quarterly tournament has just one team at the top of the table with three wins in three weeks.

See you next week.

A question about ex-Soviet countries led to one team asking if the Soviet Union counted.

One team couldn’t recall the name of the Michael Pena, an actor of Mexican descent, and so they put ICE’s next target.

And our quarterly tournament is still in its early stages with three teams up at the top of the table.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had one player choose to split off from the rest of his team to play solo, very keen to get to choose the last place subject… and he did. Getting just 20 points will tend to do that.

Guesses about a TV series with people being set on fire included Community, The Office, and Seinfeld. We must have missed those episodes.

Knowing that the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest structure in the world in 2570BC, one team guessed that it held that title for 5000 years… which would make it STILL the tallest for about another 300 years.

And last quarter’s tournament winners enjoyed their prize.

Which means we’ve got a new tournament kicking off. Everyone is in the running again.

See you next week.

WINNERS

JACKPOT

Two teams won a jackpot about Edith Piaf. We’re pretty sure neither of them knew anything about Edith Piaf before the question was asked, but you’ve got to be in it to win it.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had one team bid that they could get a lot of questions wrong in our wrong answers only round, without understanding what it was. The thing is, he works in real estate, and should have known better than to put his hand up during an auction when you don’t know what you’re bidding on.

One venue had a team who wasn’t officially playing, but still argued more about the questions than any of the official teams.

And our quarterly tournament has wound up, with the Richard Gere Appreciation Society taking the top prize.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Countries spelled using the letters GER in order apart from Germany? How about Singerpore or Gerpan?

Last week when asked for the title of a song, one team said it was the song our host lost his virginity to. It was a song that was released when he was 10. This we they used the same joke answer about a song that was released when he was 43.

One team brought their 10 year old son along… which was great, except that the special subject was 80s Porn Stars.

When he found out the jackpot answer was Homeland, one player exclaimed “I loved Homeland”, though he couldn’t remember the names of any episodes.

And with one week left in the quarterly tournament, we still have a few teams in the running. Nothing is decided yet.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked what people often leave for Santa’s reindeer that they shouldn’t, and got responses of cocaine, plutonium, and guns. Which is… not wrong, but makes us concerned that someone has been leaving cocaine, plutonium, and guns for Santa’s reindeer.

When one of our hosts played Country Roads by John Denver on a night when we were having audio difficulties, the entire room joined in and sang along. Normally we advise people not to sing the answers, but on a song like that, we’re pretty sure everyone knew it anyway.

One of our teams who were in the minority on the dilemma question about wearing boxing gloves for a year in exchange for a large cash payment made up a long list of reasons why the majority was wrong.

And our quarterly tournament is getting close to the business end, and there’s still a lot that can happen both on total points and average.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team of one entered the jackpot, and wrote down the correct answer… but decided not to bother handing it in. If you’re already in it, you REALLY don’t lose anything by having a crack.

A team who had never won at our trivia asked early in round 2 what would happen if the building needed to be evacuated? Would their first half lead be considered a win? We spent the next half hour expecting a mysterious fire alarm but nothing happened, and they did hold on to snag their first win by a single point.

And with last week’s leaders failing to notch another win, there was a change at the top of our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

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

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A last place team chose used their special subject to their advantage went from worst to first in the space of a week.

When we asked if Pierce Brosnan had worked as a fire eater, mime, or stripper, one team hedged their bets and guessed that he was all three at once.

A native Russian speaker was faced with a question about countries with native Russian speakers. Sometimes it really comes together for you.

When the homework question is on Nigerian literature, and you have a Nigerian on your team, you almost don’t need to do your homework.

And the quarterly tournament has a month left and the leaders are far from safe.

See you next week.

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

They’ve never won the quiz, and they’ve never come close. But you don’t need to be an expert to win a jackpot. You do, however need to be in it. Being in the jackpot won them a cool $185.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

An opening question about first names of Simpsons characters was deemed “too hard” by a team who said they couldn’t think of a single Simpsons character. We gave them fairly obvious hints of detailed descriptions including “the guy who runs Moe’s Tavern” and they still couldn’t get any.

A team went from last place to first place, party because of the special subject.

We asked bout a famous writer with the initials WS, and instead of coming up with William Shakespeare, you know, the most famous writer of all time, four teams came up with Wilbur Smith.

And our leaders are still in the lead, but they’re going to have to keep winning to keep their spot.

See you next week.

See you next week.
