This Week in iQ Trivia – 15 July 2017

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOTS

These four were able to accurately estimate the number of time the word “Barbie” is said in the song Barbie Girl, and it won them cash.

And these guys missed out on the jackpot by misspelling “Kabuki” last week, but won it this week for knowing about the half life of Carbon 14. They also came first in the main quiz.

If I had a dollar for every time someone recognised me from Tinder.

INTERESTING ANSWERS

Not answering “Russia” when asked about countries with the most Russian speakers.

The team who illustrated all of their answers.

The only team made up entirely of men being the only ones to get a bonus question about tampons.

And finally…

At one point we asked to the nearest million, how many people in Australia had both parents born in Australia according to the latest Census.

The answer, for anyone who cares, is 11 million.

One guy got very agitated, because, as he put it, if there are 11 million people with two parents born in Australia, that means 22 million parents, which adds up to 33 million people, and that’s more than the population of Australia.

We tried explaining it to him. You know, explaining how logic and numbers work, but we gave up. His friends tried explaining it too, but nobody could seem to convince him.

See you next week for more iQ Trivia.
