Interesting Question of the Day – 9 November 2014
Who is Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo named after?
Free Drinks… if you like free drinks… and trivia.
We’re trying out a new policy starting this week.
We regularly post interesting questions here on the iQ Trivia website with links on Facebook and Twitter. This week the first person to post a comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at the following week’s iQ Trivia show.
Here’s the plan. You’ve got to respond on the website and leave your e-mail so we can contact you. (Facebook comments or tweets are fine, but they won’t get you a free drink.) We will then contact you with a code word that you can give to the host of your preferred iQ Trivia venue the following week and they will set you up with a drink. (House beer or wine or basic spirits or soft drink. Sorry, no $100 cocktails.)
We want to spread the free drinks around so if you’ve won a free drink we will take you out of contention for a while, and you’ve got to redeem your free drink the following week. Other rules may be imposed as warranted.
Team name bonus point – Week of 9 November 2014
Another Melbourne Cup has come and gone, and countless fashionable outfits like those worn by Geoffrey Edelsten and Gabi Grecko will probably never see the light of day again.
iQ Trivia thinks that’s a terrible shame, so this week if your team name is your suggestion for another occasion where Geoffrey and Gabi could wear their elegant and tasteful (and not at all embarrassing) ensembles, you will get a bonus point.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 2 November
iQ Trivia has always sought to make trivia in Australia more interesting.
Now we’re trying to do the same with political debates in Australia.
Senator Jacqui Lambie has been in the news a lot recently, in part because of a series of… shall we say… “interesting” policy positions she has taken up.
After taking up banning the burqa, stopping Ebola infected suicide bombers, and ensuring there are plenty of guys around who are well hung and loaded with cash, iQ Trivia is concerned that Senator Lambie may be running out of inspiration. Never fear Senator! The patrons of iQ Trivia are in your corner.
This week, if your team name is your suggestion for Jacqui Lambie’s next crusade, you will get a bonus point.
Any particularly good suggestions may be sent on to the Senator’s office.
