Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.
WINNERS
JACKPOT
It’s rare that knowing characters from The Blacklist comes in handy. But once in a while in a jackpot it’s REALLY handy.
TEAM NAMES
You had a lot of complaints about things we can’t do in spite of the fact that we can land a man on the moon.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
Voting against their first instinct on the dilemma question backfired on a team when we wound up with a tie that was broken not in their favour.
When we asked about the distance from the easternmost to the westernmost point of Australia, one team guessed 41,000km, which is longer than the circumference of the whole earth.
When asked if one of our hosts owned a kilt, one team answered accurately that he didn’t but that “you totally have the ass for it”. Is it sexual harassment if you like it?
And there’s a gap of just four points at the top of the table in our quarterly tournament.
