Sam Wheat is a main character in the 1990 film Ghost.
What Australian actor was nearly cast in the role?
The first new player to comment on the website win a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
You’ve probably tried to do something nice for someone. (At least we hope you have.)
But you’ve probably also had your good deed backfire once or twice.
For your team name this week, tell us about a time your good deed backfired.
I tried to return someone’s money after they dropped it and they accused me of stealing.
Fixed a friend’s laptop once. Now I have to fix their laptop every month.
Put a drunk friend in an Uber so they wouldn’t drive home. They vomited during the ride and I got stuck with the cleaning charge.
If your team name shows how no good deed goes unpunished, you will get a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
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
Just one win this week. But there will be plenty of chances to win next week.
TEAM NAMES
You customised a lot of move quotes.
That’s not a single origin espresso… THAT’S a single origin espresso!
Being this is Vegemite, the most powerful spread in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question. “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya c*nt?
Go ahead punk. Make my dinner.
Go ahead punk. Onion my snag.
You merely adopted the depression. I was born into it, moulded by it.
Toto, we’re not in Africa anymore.
I love the smell of Guinness in the morning.
Yippee ki yay melon farmers!
Two flew over the cuckoo’s nest
Dazza, I’m ya pop.
Bend and dab.
On Wednesdays we wear pun t-shirts
Get in loser, we’re going to Uluru
Bagpuss we have a problem. Someone hasn’t put in for the jackpot round.
Houston, we have the answers.
There’s mother f*cking steaks on this mother f*cking plate!
There are good pubs, there are bad pubs, then there’s 50 feet of crap, then there’s the Orchard.
Of all the trivia nights in all the towns in the world, we walk into the Orient
Frankly mate, I don’t give a damn about the bloody federal election.
You had me at g’day.
Say “hello mate”, to my little friend!
The Wolf of Pitt Street
As god as my witness, I will never fly Tiger again!
You’re a trivia master Harry!
They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our BONUS POINT!
We’re just a trivia team, standing in front of a trivia host, asking him to give us bonus points.
What is this? A trivia team for ants?
I find your lack of correct answers disturbing.
It puts the lotion on its skin or else it has to do trivia again.
And perhaps the longest team name we’ve ever had at iQ Trivia… Papa Smurf didn’t create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel’s evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn’t happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don’t even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That’s what’s so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What’s the point of living… if you don’t have a Bunning’s sausage?

INTERESTING MOMENTS
We overheard one team refer to the Easts Tigers Rugby League club. We didn’t say whether the answer was right or wrong, but we did say it was incoherent.
A team of Irish visitors who knew nothing about Natalie Joyce celebrating her split from Barnaby by getting into body building guessed that it was Brienne of Tarth who won medals at a recent body building competition.
And someone joined the jackpot round by accidentally (or perhaps intentionally) paying 20 Danish Kronor instead of $1.
The joke is on you. That’s worth over $4.
See you next week.
In the final game of the 1972 season, Dave Hampton needed 70 yards to bring his seasonal rushing total to 1,000 yards.
Early in the 4th quarter, he made it to exactly 1,000. The game was stopped, and he was given the game ball and a standing ovation that lasted for several minutes.
What happened a few minutes later?
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
This week think of your favourite movie quote.
Now make it yours.
If you’re Australian, make it more Australian.

Any movie quote that you make yours will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.

People suck at everyday etiquette if your team names are to be believed.
Parking across two spaces.
Stay on the left of the pavement.
Asking the host to repeat a question before he’s finished reading the damn question.
Team Bagpuss would NEVER abuse the trivia host.
Don’t double dip your carrot in the hummus.

Standing too close on the train.
Enter the gate and THEN look for your Opal card.
Looking up from your phone when walking.
Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces while handicapped people make handicapped faces.
Playing music on your phone speaker on the train.
Chewing with your mouth closed.
Don’t microwave fish in the office.
Don’t mow you lawn on Sunday.
Don’t talk at the urinal.
Don’t fart on escalators.
Don’t fart in the lift.
Don’t cheat at trivia.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
Instead of answering that a song was Thank You by Dido, one team said it was “that song that was sampled on Stan by Eminem where she sings about how it’s the best day of her life.” We decided that was close enough.
Someone in a Lightning Round guessed that Australian soldiers are called “dingbats” rather than “diggers.”
We played a clip of the 90s dance hit “Move It Move It” and two teams answered that it was performed by “the guy who voiced King Julien in Madagascar.” We checked, and Sacha Baron Cohen actually did the vocals on the Madagascar version, which was sufficiently interesting and obscure that we deemed it to be worth a point.
See you next week.
