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

Here’s what you DON’T want to do before you die.

Banzai Jumping (that is throwing a parachute out of a plane and then jumping out after it): Because I’m a terrible catch

Don’t join the mile high club, because nothing kills an orgasm harder than an interrupting flight attendant.

Come last in trivia

Being nominated for a Darwin Award

Go to South Africa as a white farmer

Never listening to Africa by Toto again

Eat a Tide Pod

Bungee jumping with your baby. Their skulls aren’t designed for intense G-forces.

Planking

Climbing Uluru… because it’s f*cking WRONG!!!

TRIVIART

Dripping Medic

Rotten Cheese

Motorboating House

Cheesy Roger

Thirsty Penis

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team guessed that Welcome to the Jungle was performed not by Guns N Roses, but by The Wiggles.

In addition to nailing the year the Dambusters breached the Mohne dam in Germany, one team got a bonus point for citing the exact night.

Someone had the gall to complain about a question on the ball tampering scandal, saying “how am I supposed to know about that?” (It’s the biggest story of the last week. NOBODY gets a pass on that one.)

One player turned breaking the lunate bone in his wrist into winning a bonus question.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 25 March 2018

A lot of people have a bucket list. That is, a list of things they want to do before they kick the bucket.

We don’t want to know what’s on your bucket list. We want to know what is on your anti-bucket list.

If your team name this week is something you DON’T want to do before you die, you will get a bonus point.

Running a marathon – It’s unnatural and boring

Skydiving might bring your bucket moment a LOT closer

Going to the Melbourne Cup only guarantees a day of discomfort spent with obnoxious drunks

Make sure you tell us WHY it’s on your anti-bucket list too.

Anything you think is an overrated experience that is not worth doing before you die will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 24 March 2018

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

These guys came away with a whole bunch of cash at The Horse. Next week they will be making it rain.

TEAM NAMES

You came up with plenty of things you challenged someone to change your mind on

Channel Seven is not racist

Marmite is better than Vegemite

Instant coffee is the best

Pineapple belongs on pizza

Your mum” is a valid answer to any trivia question

Koala Bears are Bears

Cher never had plastic surgery

Vlad is better than Donald

Bill Clinton did inhale

Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer

Hillary Swank isn’t hot

Dean from Married at First Sight is just misunderstood

Water is not wet

Reading books is just hallucinating dead trees

Wine is grape juice gone bad

Lasagna is just spaghetti gone bad

Cats make better pets than dogs

Tony Jones is the biggest DILF

We always come third (and they did change their mind because they wound up coming in first)

TRIVIART

Presumptuous Donald Trump

Aspergic Koala

Furry T-shirt

Lazy Flipper

Bony Sydney

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We helped this stuffed fox find his way home to his three year old best friend. Well actually that had already happened by the time we shared it on Facebook, but it’s the thought that counts dammit!

In five minutes, someone went from saying their trivia speciality was music question to saying their trivia speciality was “screwing up music questions.”

One team had to be convinced that My Fair Lady was not a Shakespeare play beginning with the letter M.

Upper Volta was given a point on a question on countries starting with U, because we didn’t say they had to give the current name (and it was deemed sufficiently obscure.)

When one team asked for Millwall Football Club as their last place subject, they got a special bonus point because they survived the riot that followed an important loss.

One player referred to the third Star Wars prequel as Revenge of the Synth.

And one new player turned up and was sent the homework question via e-mail. He then looked it up before his teammates arrived. When we asked the question, he made a big production of trying to remember all of the answers to our obscure question, and when he managed them all, his teammates were amazed at his intellectual prowess… until he built himself up too much and we exposed his subterfuge.

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 23 March 2018

Sometimes there is a spike in babies being given the same name as recent Oscar winning actors & actresses.

There are seven actors & actresses whose names saw a jump in popularity of over 200% after they won an Oscar.  Name any three of them.  (The films for which they won were released from 1979 to 2003, and there are two men & five women.)

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

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 18 March 2018

This meme has been doing the rounds over the past couple of week.

Fairy bread is better than lamingtons

Nickleback is actually pretty good

Sports are a boring waste of time

Dual citizens should be allowed to sit in Parliament

Alcohol is disgusting

The Star Wars prequels were better than the original trilogy

Peeing in the shower is totally fine

Pineapple belongs on pizza

Any team name that challenges people to change your mind will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
