November 13, 2016Uncategorizedpolitics, team name bonus point, triviaiqtrivia

Well the presidential election has come and gone, and it looks like iQ Trivia will be asking a lot of current events questions about Donald Trump over the next four years (or however long it is before the apocalypse begins.)

So this week, we want you to look into the future to come up with a team name.

If your team name is a news story that we will see at some point during the Trump administration, you will get a bonus point.

The Apprentice: Supreme Court Edition.

Wall construction leads to severe brick shortage.

White House painted gold.

Lawrence to President: The Hunger Games wasn’t a “how to” guide.

Anything that sounds like a news story from some point in the next four years will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

November 12, 2016Uncategorizedtrivia, triviart, week in reviewiqtrivia

It’s been a cracker of a week at iQ Trivia.

Team Names

On the theme of new slogans for the Melbourne Cup, we had plenty of promising candidates.

The race that keeps the nation in glue.

Gamble on tomorrow’s dog food.

The race that stops trivia.

The race to intoxication.

The best race you won’t remember.

First passed the pissed.

Two Jockeys, One Cup.

The Race that’s Better than the Race to the White House.

Accomplishment of the Week

how-to-improve-at-trivia

This team went from coming in dead last to coming in a close second in a little over a month. It goes to show that the more you do iQ Trivia, the better you get at it (and the more you start to think like us.) Also, checking out the study hints and doing the homework question helps.

Hall of Shame

Asking for spelling and openly typing it into Google as we’re right there. (If you’re going to cheat, try to be a little bit subtle.)

Two separate people saying 173 divided by 173 equals zero.

The D in DIY stands for Driving.

Delightful Trivia Host

Nowhere does it say you have to do a drawing. It’s the most interesting artistic rendation of the theme, and this certainly qualifies as interesting and artistic.

Next week we will have a whole new slate of interesting trivia to keep your mind occupied, and a brand new venue at Walt & Burley on Canberra’s Kingston Foreshore.

Have an interesting weekend.

Last week saw another running of the Melbourne Cup, frequently referred to as “the race that stops the nation.”

iQ Trivia thinks you can come up with a better slogan.

melbourne-cup-trivia

This week, if your team name is a proposed new slogan for the Melbourne Cup, you will get a bonus point.

The race that stops the nation from getting any work done the next day because everyone is too hungover to move.

The race that makes everyone in the nation think they know a damn thing about horseracing.

The race that makes 90% of bookies’ annual profits in under 4 minutes.

The race the stops the nation from realising that fascinators are frankly a ridiculous thing to wear on your head.

Anything like the above will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Names

It would have been a disappointing Halloween for all the children you hate if your team names were anything to go by.

A potato.

Armpit hair lollipop.

Deep heat filled donuts.

Peddo frogs.

Chupa chup your hand off if you touch my candy.

A punch in the head.

Hall of Shame Moments

The team that confused Hermione with Hagrid.

The team that claimed that Friends was an obscure TV program that nobody knows about.

The team that asked why we would ask a question they didn’t know the answer to. (Uhhhhhh… making you think about things is pretty much the whole idea of trivia.)
