This Week in iQ Trivia – 2 December 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

When one person on your team is an expert on US Presidents, and another is a medical student, you’re likely to win a jackpot when the questions are on US Presidents and medication.

They managed to win first place, and because the only other team that knew the answer opted not to play, these guys also won the jackpot.

TEAM NAMES

There were plenty of inappropriate quotation marks.

I “don’t” have syphilis

Medical” marijuana for my “glaucoma”

I’m “not” a duel citizen

You’re “adopted”

Extra points will be given for particularly “interesting” answers

The “cool” kids

We’ll “take care” of you

She said “no”

Urinal cakes are not for “consumption”

Used mattress “gently soiled”

Netflix and “Chill”

Obama “wiretapped” my phone

We “love” iQ Trivia

Remedial Thai “massage”

TRIVIART

Indecisive Bridge

Dirty Platypus

Scrumptious Platypus (or was it Scrum Chess Platypus)

Punchy Lamp

Fancy Fire Truck

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We were asked to define the word “word”. By a linguistics student no less.

We asked what states Washington DC lies between, and one team answered New York and Florida. It doesn’t border either of those states, but it does technically lie between them. In this case, being technically correct got a point.

One (rather drunk) trivia interloper, perhaps unaware that a written quiz was being conducted, was about to say the answer to a question out loud, and every team who knew the answer simultaneously shouted her down.

When asked for a 10 letter synonym for thief that didn’t use any letters twice, one team came up with “kleptomani”. That’ll teach us for not saying it had to be an actual word in English.

See you next week.
