JACKPOTS
We had a few winners this week.
We love when team that don’t do well on the quiz as a whole take out the jackpot.
This couple came all the way from Colac, Victoria and came last. Then they won the jackpot.
And this trio have often struggled with the quiz, but this week the stars came together & they had just the right nugget of knowledge to win $137.
They proved once again, that it can be done.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
LARP stands for Large And Randy People.
One team came to one of our shows on Monday, and enjoyed it so much that they came again on Wednesday… so we had to come up with an alternate bonus round on the fly as they had already heard it. Luckily we’re pretty good at what we do.
A team was sufficiently into Ariana Grande that they guessed that she starred in Gone With the Wind, and was the model for Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.
And one couple got married last Saturday & left for their honeymoon on Tuesday, but made a point of going to trivia on Monday because they knew they wouldn’t be able to make their usual weekly show.
See you next week.

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 homework@iqtrivia.com.au 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.

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.
