Interesting Question of the Day – 29 October 2018

The World Football Elo Ratings is a ranking system for men’s national football teams.  It assigns each team a points total based on their performance in matches they’ve played.

What two teams played each other in the match with the highest combined Elo Rating of both teams?

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team didn’t know who performs the theme song to Big Bang Theory, but they wrote all the lyrics and added “surely that’s worth a point”. Yes. Yes it is.

Another team went way beyond writing the next line in the Phantom Planet song California, by writing the whole verse.

When we asked how many schooners were in 12 pints, one team said 4, proving that they either don’t know anything about beer or they are terrible at math.

And these four won for the first time ever after months of coming to iQ Trivia, and were stunned into silence.

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 22 October 2018

Which of the following is not a rule of Blind Cricket?

Is it the ball is larger, hollow, and filled with ball bearings so it is easier to see & hear, the bowler must shout “play” when releasing the ball, totally blind players must be given out LBW twice before being dismissed, totally blind fielders can take a catch on one bounce, or are they all rules of blind cricket?

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 21 October 2018

People don’t come with warning labels.

But maybe they should.

For your team name this week, tell us what would be on your warning label if you came with one.

Objects may be more sarcastic than they appear.

Caution: Contents may explode when under pressure.

Adding alcohol will void the warranty.

Congratulations on your purchase of a ginger. Please keep it out of direct sunlight.

Warning: Prolonged exposure may result in depression.

Anything that would be on your warning label will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 20 October 2018

Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOTS

This team knew a lot about Czech cities and won cash.

TEAM NAMES

It takes one to knot one

A date worse than death

Another one bites the crust

You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few legs

A cat has nine wives

Funk it

Like two chips passing in the night

Opening a can of words

Tits and bobs

Too many cocks spoil the broth

I can’t twink straight

Don’t quit your gay job

Cup of hoe

What’s up Coc?

Butter out than in

Two sheeps to the wind

The grass is greener on the other ride

I’m a kid in a candy stove

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drunk

Eat around the bush

You miss 100% of the shits you don’t take

The captain goes down with the shit

Let he who is without sin cast the first scone

Feck you Bill!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck food?

Flogging a dead whore

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fist and you feed him for life.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had given a hint that there would be a question that might make players shout hallelujah as a hint that hallelujah would be an answer to one of our questions. And sure enough, an hour later, one new player shouted out “HALLELUJAH” while we were in the midst of asking that question, and everyone caught on that this was the hallelujah question.

We gave one team a point for saying that funnel web spiders could cure hangovers by causing death, because it is technically correct.

When we asked for national capitals beginning with the letter C, more than one team forget to say Canberra… you know… the capital of the country they were actually in at the time.

We overheard one player say “this is the first time I’ve ever wished I watched more Vin Diesel films.”

And finally, two teams racked up very high scores this week. One managed to beat the old record score by one point with 79.

Unfortunately for them, that was the day after this team beat their old record by two points with a new record score of 80.

We’re sure this competition will continue for a long time to come.

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 19 October 2018

There has been a lot of discussion about the housing market, and about how certain generations might have an easier time buying houses if they didn’t spend so much of their money on avocados.

So we wondered… what costs more?  Houses, or avocados?

Specifically, what costs more per kilogram?  The average 200m² two storey Australian house with a timber frame & brick exterior, or an avocado from Woolworths or Coles.

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