Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 13 January 2019

This week we want you to be snobs.

Specifically, we want your team name to be something you are a snob about.

If you use margarine instead of butter you are a filthy peasant.

You shouldn’t be allowed to vote if you can’t pass a test on civics.

Cask wine has no business being called wine.

If you can’t change a tire, don’t drive a car.

Everyone is a snob about something. Tell us what you’re a snob about for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

These guys argued for 20 minutes about who was to blame for their tragic loss. The consensus was it was the guy on the right.

We asked a bonus question on a mathematical problem which required a fair amount of calculation, and one team got it within a couple of seconds, leading us to conclude that they are either a mathematical savant like in Rain Man, or they had heard this question somewhere before. (Or they were very lucky.)

One of our regulars who rarely plays but always enjoys listening to the questions, sold his expertise on Australian music from the 80’s to a team of Swedes who were all born in the 90s.

One team developed the tactic of saying wrong answers loud enough for neighbouring teams to hear… before calling out a correct answer… which nobody used. Not even them.

We were asked if Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series counted as human.

And a visiting Harvard graduate got a question on Harvard wrong… and may never live it down.

See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 4 January 2019

It has been about a year since same sex marriages began being conducted in Australia.

In the early stages of marriage equality, were there more same sex marriages among men or women?

Also, were same sex couples being married generally older or younger than opposite couples being married?

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