Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

WINNERS

First of all, we staged our annual Champions League Trivia on Sunday, and the Bagpuss Finger was awarded to a new team “The Uncalled Four.”

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

And we had the first of a number of fundraisers for bushfire charities, which was won by this lot.

JACKPOTS

They got all three jackpot questions to beat out another team.

And they came in last place, but still knew enough about Civil War battles & 60’s hairstyles to win a jackpot.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A bonus round question on the Czech flag resulted in a Czech member of the bar staff having her moment of glory.

We asked about who periodically resides at Holyrood Palace & where it’s located, and a Scotsman informed us that we had pronounced it wrong loud enough to the rest of the room to hear, which did rather give a clue that it’s in Scotland. Also, someone answered that the Duke of Edinburgh resides there, and since that’s Prince Phillip, and he’s married to the Queen, he does technically reside there periodically, so we gave them credit even though it wasn’t exactly what we were looking for.

When we asked about four letter countries, one player reflexively went for Tonga. It was his intuitive answer to three questions, none of which were right. (But one of these days we will ask a question about Tonga & he’ll have his moment of glory.)

One team forgot to do a homework question on Colin Firth film roles, so they gave us a detailed description of each role rather than the character name. That amount of effort is worth a point.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team that came in after question 7 still managed to come in second at the end of the night. Which is impressive.

When asked how many Chicken McNuggets it would take to equal 1kg, we noticed half of the teams weighing random objects in their hand. As if there is some sort of mass equivalence between McNuggets & sriracha bottles.

After answering a bonus question correctly with the name Richard, one of our players acknowledged “I just really like Dick.”

Another bonus question about a man stopping the bleeding from a stab wound with something you eat resulted in one team guessing “cocaine”. Because apparently cocaine is a food.

We had to explain to one team that South America, Siberia, and Sydney weren’t countries.

A woman sprinted across the room in heels to answer a bonus question before anyone else.

Someone who forgot to do the homework question guessed that “spoon boy” from The Matrix was played by Peter Garrett.

See you next week.
