Have an interesting week.
Goulburn has got a new home for trivia every Wednesday.
Starting on 20 March, Tattersalls Hotel in the heart of Goulburn will be staging the most interesting trivia in town.
It’s the best way to spend a Wednesday evening unless you hate interesting trivia, cheap drinks, and delicious food, in which case we’d prefer it if you stayed away and made room for our kind of people.
Make sure you get in for happy hour before the show kicks off for $4 schooners from 4 to 6, and the kitchen will have you covered when it comes to brain food.
You can get ahead of the game with our homework question. E-mail us on [email protected] to have it sent to you every week.
And you can find out more on our Facebook page.
Call 9211 1687 to book a table, and we will see you Wednesday at 7pm.
Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
When we asked for an Italian city, one team went with Mulan. Which was wrong, and is also a Disney film rather than an Italian city.
We asked a bonus question about Don Bradman’s most common test match score, and one player who hadn’t listened to the question ran up to us with 99.4 written down. First of all, that wasn’t his average. Second, we didn’t want his average, but the score he scored most frequently. It took a few minutes for one of his teammates to explain that to him.
Another team correctly identified that Guantanamera was a song from Cuba, but guessed that it was sung in Swedish rather than Spanish. (Or at least wrote down Swedish rather than Spanish.)
We asked for an actress who played a variety of films roles including Queen Elizabeth I, Katherine Hepburn, and Galadriel… and one team went with Queen Elizabeth I. Yes, they guessed that a Queen who died over 300 years before Katherine Hepburn was born, played Katherine Hepburn (and also herself) in film. Rather than, say, Cate Blanchett.
And one British couple on holiday liked our Monday show so much, that they came back to two more shows, finally winning on their third attempt on Thursday courtesy of some help from their family.
They REALLY got into our trivia.
See you next week.

A cheese factory exploded in France. There was nothing left but de brie.
You shouldn’t iron a four leaf clover because you don’t want to press your luck.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
When they couldn’t remember the Bradley Cooper’s name, one team gave us a series of films he was in. But they chose Ryan Reynolds films. No point there.
One team didn’t just recognise Jimi Hendrix, they gave us a comprehensive history of his short history in the US Army.
We had an Argentinian who disappointed his entire team by confessing he knew nothing about football.
