Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 March 2017

Last week a team at one of our shows argued that Australia’s Prime Minister in the early 70s was Goth Whitlam.

After searching for that and assuring Google that we didn’t mean Gough Whitlam, it came up with this photo.

So this week we want you to make minor changes to someone’s name that would make them a very different person.

Tony Rabbit

Hugh Jackwoman

Kim Kartrashian

Donald Stump

Any minor change to the spelling of someone’s name will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Week in Review – 25 March 2017

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

WINNERS

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

Jack Black Sabbath

Nirvana Trump

Blinky Bill 182

Jack Black Eyed Peas

Lil Wayne Gretzky

JACKPOTS

Lil Wayne Gretzky also won $112 & €2 by knowing a little bit more about American Presidential Candidates than anyone else.

Another team missed out on about $200 by coming up with the answer “Smitherines” instead of “Smithereens”.  Spelling matters people!

TEAM NAMES

You came up with plenty of interesting band names this week.

INTERESTING ANSWERS

One team pointed out that San Marino is so small, that the San Marino Grand Prix isn’t even held in San Marino, a fact which you can expect will be on a future iQ Trivia quiz.

When asked if anyone was still alive who was in Hitler’s bunker, one team argued that Hitler had a pet giant tortoise that is still alive aged well over 100. Seeing as we didn’t explicitly exclude animals and weren’t in a position to disprove them, we gave them a point.

HALL OF SHAME MOMENTS

Using Shazam on an audio question right under the nose of the host. Hey, we’re not blind. Also, you didn’t even get the correct answer.

The team who claimed that Australia’s Prime Minister in the early 1970s was GOTH Whitlam.

The founder of iQ Trivia messing up one of the bonus questions. Hey, nobody is perfect.

See you next week for more iQ Trivia.

Meet Your Hosts – Shane Murphy

Shane comes to iQ Trivia from the Royal Australian Navy, but he’s got plenty of talents that go beyond being a sailor.

He’s also a lion tamer, Spitfire pilot, Elvis impersonator, bodyguard for the Dalai Lama, and he’s organising a petition to get Queanbeyan to host the 2024 Olympics where he will represent Australia in Chess Boxing.

You can catch him every Monday at 7:00 at Walt & Burley on the Kingston Foreshore.
