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

INTERESTING MOMENTS
We quoted Sam Kerr’s statement after her acquittal, and someone thought it was Donald Trump. Ohhhhhh dear. Not even close!
When we played It’s A Wonderful Life, one player who is about 50 years younger was thrilled, noting that it’s his favourite movie and that he can’t watch it without breaking down. So much for “before my time”.
What’s the national anthem of Australia? We had guesses of Down Under by Men at Work, and You’re the Voice by John Farnham.
And we still have one team that has won every week and leads our quarterly tournament.
