Interesting Question of the Day – 27 November 2017

The Trump board game is a knock off version of Monopoly, but is far more confusing and dependant on dumb luck.  (It also more likely to make you hate the people you’re playing against.)

In place of the number six on the die, there is a T.

What happens when you roll a T?

The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 November 2017

Quotation marks can be a good way to express sarcasm or irony.

They are not meant to give emphasis to statements, but many people use them that way.

This week we want your team name to inappropriately use quotation marks.

I’m a “fully qualified” surgeon.

If you’re tired, you should have some “coffee”.

All our “sushi” is made “fresh”.

Welcome “President” Trump!

Shoplifters will be “prosecuted”.

Ladies” Toilet

Anything that misuses quotation marks like this will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 25 November 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.

JACKPOTS

This guy won the jackpot singlehandedly. Yes, it can be done.

TEAM NAMES

You came up with plenty of fancy names for simple foods

Excretions From A Swarm Of Flying Poisonous Beasts On Grinded Wheat Yeast

TRIVIART

Pretentious Bill

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team offered to split the jackpot with one of our hosts if we gave them the answer. Yeah… we don’t do that.

Someone mistook David Gulpilil for Kanye West, and someone mistook Don Draper for Donald Trump.

When asked for a Shakespeare play beginning with the letter TTOTS, one team guessed The Tale Of Two Sities.

In addition to recognising the tune of the French national anthem, one player got a bonus point after singing the entire thing along with one of our hosts.

And two newbies recognised a map of Kent, but forgot to write that it was in England and missed out on a ridiculously easy point, but then wound up perfectly positioned to come in seventh to win a prize. (Sometimes laziness pays.)

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 19 November 2017

If we’re not mistaken, food seems to be getting fancier.

So this week we want your team name to reflect that trend.

In that spirit, if your team name is an unnecessarily fancy name for a simple dish, you will get a bonus point.

Pate of roasted peanut paired with strawberry reduction on wheaten discs – Peanut butter & jam sandwich

Infusion of pekoe leaf served with dairy broth – Tea

Curated drippings of fermented malt barley – Beer

Anything that give a pretentious name to a simple food or drink will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 18 November 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.

TEAM NAMES

You had a lot of unpopular opinions

Vegan Bacon is better than regular bacon

Coriander should be added to everything

Marmite is nicer than Vegemite

Bunnings sausage sizzles are overrated

Politicians should be allowed to have dual citizenship

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Teams cheered when we mentioned Hitler, and when we mentioned tse tse flies. (You don’t have to cheer for either of these things.)

We asked for a three letter word that starts a series of other words, and one team gave us TRI, which would have made triage, triask (which we presumed to be what you do when you ask something three times), trination, trined (which is actually the past tense of the verb “trine”), tripen (perhaps to make something into tripe), and triselfish (which could mean when you’re three times as selfish as normal.)

Denzel Washington’s role in the film Flight was described as Captain Snorty in the film I Crashed the Plane High but I Did it Well.

A team of Scots who worked behind a bar didn’t recognise a variety of Scottish alcohol.

A Lebanese man failed to answer a jackpot question on the capital of Lebanon.

See you next week for more iQ Trivia.
