INTERESTING MOMENTS
We asked about the first number that is spelled with the letter B, looking for one billion. But we didn’t specify that it had to be a whole number, so technically, one billionth comes first. Of course, one ten billionth and one onehundred billionth are lower still, but we still gave them credit. (And then changed the question.)
A pair approached one of our hosts around question 27 and asked if it was too late to join. They didn’t play, but they still argued about the questions, paid up for the jackpot round, and made plans to come next week.
We left a hint that there would be a question on the M25, and when we asked a bonus question about how long it was in kilometres, one team had the answer before we finished reading the question.
And at one show one team was a couple on their third date. They kept track of who knew what correct answers, but at the end of the night, they couldn’t decide who won between the two of them. Which means they have to come back next week for their fourth date. Yes, we need to normalise trivia on dates.
See you next week.
Made famous in a 1900 book and in film adaptations, Nick Chopper is the real name of what literary character?

Northern Beaches trivia is kicking off in a new venue in Brookvale.
And it’s in a brewery, so we are pretty sure there will be beer to go with the trivia.
It’s at Dad & Dave’s at 45 Mitchell Road in Brookvale, and it is kicking off every Thursday at 7pm.
We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got great eats from the food truck outside, we’ve got $6 pints until 6pm (so get in early), and we’ve got great prizes courtesy of Dad & Dave’s.
In short, we have got everything you need for a great Thursday night out.
Of course, Dad & Dave’s don’t brew average beer, and iQ Trivia don’t do average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out if you are into beer and trivia. (And if you’re not, we have no idea why you are still reading.)
If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But to be honest, that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll probably have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions that you won’t see coming. We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but will enjoy arguing about with your friends. The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we will provide.
As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to homework@iqtrivia.com.au with Dad & Dave in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.
And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have additional information to help you out.
Book yourselves in for the best trivia on the Northern Beaches on their website.
And we will see you at 7pm every Thursday in Brookvale at Dad & Dave’s.
For the week of 25 April to 1 May, how many pages did it take to account for 1% of all Wikipedia views? 18, 118, or 1,018?

WINNERS
If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.
JACKPOT
A team from California forgot to do the homework question. Luckily, it was about Californian counties. Unluckily, they couldn’t think of them. So they didn’t get the homework question on geography where they were from. But they turned around and won a jackpot based on their knowledge of Russian rivers.
They nailed a question on the birth of Confucius, when most teams were off by over a millenium.
And another team misspelled it as Jessica Maras, but they won a jackpot on a question about Jessica Marais. It might be because one of them had Jessica Marais’s contact details on his phone.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
A team of accountants estimated that Vladimir Putin was about 4,500 days old. Which is about 12 years. Accountants. ACCOUNTANTS. People whose job it is to count.
And when an elderly couple had a tough time paying for dinner, one of our players paid for them. And then, halfway through the show, the beneficiary of our trivia audience’s largesse insisted on trekking up the stairs to say thank you.
See you next week.
