WINNERS
If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.
JACKPOT
The biggest news this week was the biggest jackpot in iQ Trivia history going off at $598 by a team who knew just enough about soap opera settings.
And they knew Malaysian states well enough to win $50.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
One team shot from last place at halftime to first place at full time. The gambler’s question did its thing.
Beginning with the letter G, what currency was used in the Netherlands before the Euro? Ganja, according to one team.
One player was caught googling the cast of Inglourious Basterds right after we asked a question about it. He claimed he was on Hinge. (You’re not making us like you more.)
A team of Sri Lankans didn’t answer Sri Lanka on a cricket question when it was one of the five correct answers.
And one team argued about whether to risk it and go for a fourth point in our minefield bonus round or play it safe with the three points they thought they had. They argued for a good five minutes before opting to play it safe… and then realised that all three of the answers they went with were wrong.
See you next week.
