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
When one person on your team is an expert on US Presidents, and another is a medical student, you’re likely to win a jackpot when the questions are on US Presidents and medication.
They managed to win first place, and because the only other team that knew the answer opted not to play, these guys also won the jackpot.
TEAM NAMES
There were plenty of inappropriate quotation marks.
I “don’t” have syphilis
“Medical” marijuana for my “glaucoma”
I’m “not” a duel citizen
You’re “adopted”
Extra points will be given for particularly “interesting” answers
The “cool” kids
We’ll “take care” of you
She said “no”
Urinal cakes are not for “consumption”
Used mattress “gently soiled”
Netflix and “Chill”
Obama “wiretapped” my phone
We “love” iQ Trivia
Remedial Thai “massage”
TRIVIART
Indecisive Bridge
Dirty Platypus
Scrumptious Platypus (or was it Scrum Chess Platypus)
Punchy Lamp
Fancy Fire Truck
INTERESTING MOMENTS
We were asked to define the word “word”. By a linguistics student no less.
We asked what states Washington DC lies between, and one team answered New York and Florida. It doesn’t border either of those states, but it does technically lie between them. In this case, being technically correct got a point.
One (rather drunk) trivia interloper, perhaps unaware that a written quiz was being conducted, was about to say the answer to a question out loud, and every team who knew the answer simultaneously shouted her down.
When asked for a 10 letter synonym for thief that didn’t use any letters twice, one team came up with “kleptomani”. That’ll teach us for not saying it had to be an actual word in English.
See you next week.
