Interesting Question of the Day – 15 August 2018

Kabbadi is a sport originating in India in which teams take turns sending a player into the opposing team’s half to tag as many of them as possible and return safely, all on one breath of air.

How do players prove that they haven’t taken a second breath?

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

So for your team name, we want the opposite of a pick up line.

I’ve been watching you and you look great when you sleep.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our players nearly had a heart attack out of delight when we asked a bonus question about a brand of beer that was coincidentally also the name of her son.

When we asked about Barbra Streisand lyrics, one team told us that people who need people “are not tainted by the depressing reality of our petty existence.”

A team of SBS employees took a disturbingly long time to remember that Lee Lin Chin had retired.

Muhammad Ali & Sonny Liston were described as Muhammad Ali & Black Rocky.

After being the only team missing out on a point with the dilemma question, two friends proceeded to yell at each other throughout the rest of the answers. We’re not sure if they are still friends.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 5 August 2018

We came across this article on over the top requests made by performing artists before they would go on stage.

Van Halen demanded M&Ms with all the brown ones removed. Madonna wanted a brand new toilet seat. Kanye wanted a slushie machine filled with Hennessy & Coke.

This week, for your team name, we want you to tell us what outlandish demands you would make before going on stage.

A team of people dropping rose petals in my path.

A separate dressing room for my dog.

A bottle of whiskey in a vodka bottle, and a bottle of vodka in a whiskey bottle.

A one bedroom unit within 10km of the CBD.  (Perhaps the most lavish request imaginable.)

Anything that is a ridiculously over the top or specific request will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked which name wasn’t an actual royal nickname from history, one team picked George the Curious it as either they would get a point, or they would find out there had actually been a George the Curious, so they would win either way.

We asked a question about Bill Shorten, and one team answered with “a super generic politician”.  We decided that was pretty much the same thing.

One team had a long & involving debate over how many feet a panda has.

A player had to be convinced by his teammates that Israel was an actual place.

And one team either spelled the title of the Robbie Williams hit Better Man incorrectly, or they actually thought the song was called Better Mao and is about one man’s constant struggle to maintain ideological conformity to the Chinese Communist Party.

See you next week.
