Interesting Question of the Day – 6 April 2020
You know when they say the title of a movie in the movie? That’s called a title drop.
We’ve taken six title drops from movies, and replaced the move title with the title of another movie. Name the films the original title drops come from.
“The first rule of Schindler’s List is you do not talk about Schindler’s List.”
“He’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it, because he’s not a hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Gladiator.”
“Next Saturday night, we’re sending you A Clockwork Orange.”
“Forget it Jake… it’s Brokeback Mountain.”

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 5 April 2020
It’s tough meeting people these days, what with not being able to come within 1.5 metres and gatherings larger than two people being banned.
So this week we are helping you out with Coronavirus themed pick up lines.
What’s a girl like you doing in a place like this? Or any place? Seriously, go home!
You can’t spell virus without U and I.
Is that hand sanitiser in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
If the virus doesn’t take you out, can I?
Neither of us can leave. Your options are kind of limited.
I saw you from across the room… stay there.
Any Coronavirus appropriate pick up lines will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
This Week in iQ Trivia – 4 April 2020
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.
TEAM NAMES
You came up with a lot of Coronavirus appropriate song lyrics.
Stayhomian Rhapsody
Living Covida Loca
I’m not sick, but I’m not well
Catch my disease, because we’re all in this together
We all live in a self quarantine
Paint it black death
I’m feeling soapersonic, give me gin & tonic
I will survive
My Corona
Hot in the fever tonight
Toilet rolling in the deep
Your phone sex is on fire
But I would walk 500 miles, And I would walk 500 more, Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles to fall down at your door dead of coronavirus
Am I ever gonna see your face again
Why can’t we be friends
U can’t touch this
Another one bites the dust
If you’ve got Covid 19 and you know it wash your hands
He’s going the social distance
Stop, sanitize and listen
All out of gloves
Don’t stand so close to me
Covid-19, Oh, my hands I must clean, At this moment I clean, everything! It’s causing me stress, so I clean to excess, Purge the dirty, Ah, Covid-19.
INTERESTING MOMENTS
Once in a while we get complaints. This week, we got a complaint during a show that our gambler’s question wasn’t something that someone could have known. And it’s true. We don’t expect anyone to know for certain what the average annual mileage for an Australian passenger vehicle is. That’s kind of the point of the gambler’s question. If it was something someone knew for sure, it wouldn’t be gambling.
We asked a spelling question, and one of our players pointed out that Google Docs tells you when you spell something wrong. No excuse for mistakes there then!
Grease was set in Grease High School.
The song “Lips of an Angel” was described as being by “Even Sh!ttier Nickleback.”
One player who had arrived late to the quiz saw the picture of 50 Cent to go with one of our questions, and before he realised his microphone was on, said to his teammates “Hey is that 50 Cent?” for everyone to hear.
Not to be outdone, one of our hosts managed to screw up a bonus question, by posting the answer.
And finally, we’ve been very grateful for all of your support on our donations page, but there was one comment we got that really struck home.
“Since early 2017, I’ve been enjoying trivia most Tuesday nights. It’s become a weekly highlight that also helped to get me through some tough times. Very happy to help out until its return. Until then, take care and stay well!”
We’re proud of what we do.
See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 1 April 2020
Moby Dick from Herman Melville’s famous novel was perhaps the largest sperm whale ever seen. Going by relative body mass, if an average sized Australian man was playing the role of Moby Dick, what animal would be the size of the whalers hunting him? A beagle, a possum, a rat, or a quokka?

Online Challenge Quiz
We’ve got a new format for iQ Trivia Online tonight on our Twitch channel at 8pm.
It’s the Challenge Quiz.
We will have one featured team videoconferencing with our host and competing against EVERYONE else.
The idea is they get the questions first, and everyone watching gets the questions on a short delay. But they only get one guess, and a short time to discuss answers before locking in their choice. Everyone watching gets to guess as many times as they like.
If our featured team gets an answer before everyone commenting on Twitch, they get the point. If an answer comes up in the Twitch feed before they lock it in, the points go to everyone else.
So you can literally take on the world (of iQ Trivia fans at least.)
Or you can pop over to Twitch at 8pm and try your best to ruin someone else’s night.
If you want to be our featured team, contact bill@iqtrivia.com.au
We will see you there.
