This week we are looking for five last words.
If your team name is the last five words someone might say, you will get a bonus point.
Examples include:
“I can jump that gorge.”
“We don’t need brakes, watch!”
“You Hells Angels are sissys!”
“I don’t think it’s loaded.”
“Was that a stop sign?”
Anything that is the last five words someone might say will get a point.
If you were to use a dictionary where all the words were spelt backwards, what would be the last word?
We’re not counting slang terms, proper nouns, acronyms, or abbreviations, but we will accept obscure words, provided they’re not just in the urban dictionary.
“Abuzz” is in the first few pages of a standard dictionary, but because it ends with the letter Z twice, it would be towards the end of our reversed letter dictionary.

There are plenty of song lyrics out there that get stuck in your head despite the fact that they make no sense.
This week if your team name is a non-sensical song lyric, you will get a bonus point.
For example:
Wearing the face the she keeps in a jar by the door. – The Beatles
I’ll pull all your crooked teeth, you’ll be perfect just like me. – The Smashing Pumpkins
Kissing is a colour. – Roxette
Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball. – Oasis
How can we dance when the world is turning. – Midnight Oil
If I hurt you, I’d make wine from your tears. – INXS
Any of the above would get a point. Make sure you include who the lyric is from, and you’ll be ahead of the game before the first question is asked.
If you get stuck, there is a database of ridiculous song lyrics here.

You’ve probably heard of a little book and film called “50 Shades of Grey.”
iQ Trivia is NOT asking you to read the book or see the film. (In fact we’d rather you didn’t.) But you will earn a bonus point this week if your team name is a play on 50 Shades of Grey.
Any of those, or anything else that references 50 Shades will get you a bonus point.
