This Week in iQ Trivia – 8 May 2021

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

WINNERS

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

JACKPOT

A team from California forgot to do the homework question. Luckily, it was about Californian counties. Unluckily, they couldn’t think of them. So they didn’t get the homework question on geography where they were from. But they turned around and won a jackpot based on their knowledge of Russian rivers.

They nailed a question on the birth of Confucius, when most teams were off by over a millenium.

And another team misspelled it as Jessica Maras, but they won a jackpot on a question about Jessica Marais. It might be because one of them had Jessica Marais’s contact details on his phone.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team of accountants estimated that Vladimir Putin was about 4,500 days old. Which is about 12 years. Accountants. ACCOUNTANTS. People whose job it is to count.

And when an elderly couple had a tough time paying for dinner, one of our players paid for them. And then, halfway through the show, the beneficiary of our trivia audience’s largesse insisted on trekking up the stairs to say thank you.

See you next week.
