This Week in iQ Trivia – 26 May 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

They won $250 in the jackpot for their expert knowledge on Mad Max films (which is a lot less when split between nine people, but is still worth having.)

These three knew a surprising amount about Harry Potter actresses (and the correct spelling of their names) and took home over $100 despite coming in second last in the quiz.

TEAM NAMES

We sincerely hope you don’t follow any of the rules for horrible people that you mentioned in your team names.

Shouting out the answers at trivia

Lower back tattoos are classy and timeless

Starving African children don’t exist if you can’t see them

Order the lobster and ask to split the bill

Rush onto the train before people get off

Farting in the elevator

It’s totally ok to leave your kids alone in Portuguese hotels

We’re right, even when we’re wrong

Guns don’t kill people, I do

People who clap when the plane lands

Heteronormativity

During a movie is a really good time to check Facebook

Never apologise as it admits fault

Old people should stand up on the bus

Walk into blind people and tell them to watch where they’re going

Microwaving tuna in the office

Disappear when it’s your round

The peak hour train is the perfect place to clip your toenails

INTERESTING MOMENTS

iQ Trivia expanded to New Zealand… sort of.

The cousin of the founder of iQ Trivia asked for advice on how to put together a quiz, and got a whole quiz customised to Kiwi tastes.

One of our quizzes was won by a team of one. It’s rare, but it can happen.

One team immediately got the answer to a bonus question, but their runner showed it to us upside down and was told the answer wasn’t “olləH”. They still managed to return with “Hello” before anyone else could respond.

There were virtually no guesses on one of our bonus questions on toys that had changed colour to be more gender neutral, and when one team was brave enough to venture a guess of the Easy Bake Oven and was correct, half of the room immediately called out “I thought that was the answer!” Sorry. Saying the answer AFTER we’ve given it to you doesn’t get you any credit.

And one of the better wrong answers we got on the new titles of Meghan Markle included the titles of Princess of Rangas & Mother of Dragons.

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 23 May 2018

Who has appeared in all of the following films & TV series?

The Nanny, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Sex and the City, The Jeffersons, Spin City, The Drew Carey Show, Suddenly Susan, Two Weeks Notice, Zoolander, and Home Alone 2.

In each, he played himself.

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 20 May 2018

Some people are terrible.

This week we want you to base your team name on them.

If your team name is a rule that terrible people live by, you will get a bonus point.

Those handicapped people probably could use the walk.

Everyone wants to hear your car horn at midnight.

You should totally drive slow in the fast lane.

Being really horny trumps basic human decency.

Anything that is a rule of horrible people will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Week in Review – 19 May 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 didn’t win, but they did take home the jackpot and seemed pretty pleased with it.

TEAM NAMES

Here’s what was in your brutally honest or depressing horoscopes.

You will not win at trivia.

Your parents were too drunk to pull out.

Your will be like a highway, but you’re road kill.

Your love life will suffer when Venus transits through Uranus.

You are the age of Aquarius, and it’s 110.

The wealth will never trickle down.

You will embarrass yourself yet again.

You can’t catch chlamydia twice.

This week you will be as stupid as you look.

You will meet someone special, but it’s flu season.

You will die alone in your mother’s basement.

You will meet the perfect person. Too bad you’re already married.

You’re going to get a promotion and then your company will go insolvent.

Today your ex will propose to the love of their life, and you will sit on the couch in three day old soiled underwear. Even you cats hate you.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had to explain to someone that 25 is closer to 26 than 28. Eventually they believed us.

One team saw this picture.

And guessed that it was 10 year old Michael Jackson threatening 40 year old Michael Jackson.

When asked what specific thing DJ Khaled doesn’t do, one team said he didn’t make good music (in addition to not “reciprocating” with his wife.)

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 18 May 2018

The Proclaimers had a hit with a song claiming they would walk 500 miles, and that they would walk 500 more.

If they were to walk 1,000 miles from their home in Edinburgh just to fall down at your door, how many countries could they potentially be in?  (We are assuming they can walk on water and over any obstacles that might be in their way.)

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