WINNERS
If you won this week, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.
JACKPOTS
Four teams knew how to do the math on one of our jackpot questions, but three of them did the math wrong leaving these two to take the jackpot.
This team was similarly good (or lucky) at math and took home over $180.
And this team did the same (but didn’t take home quite as much).

INTERESTING MOMENTS
One player got a bonus point on a question about the Rubber Duckie song from Sesame Street by doing a remarkably spot on impression of Ernie.
They also got a bonus point for going beyond the call of duty on a history question by identifying the exact date of the Battle of Crecy.
And another player said they were rather proud not to know the next line in a Taylor Swift song.
When we asked how many teeth adults are meant to have, most of the room immediately began counting.
A team got a bonus point for adding a long biography of Chris Pratt’s character from Guardian’s of the Galaxy and a full explanation of the scene we played a clip of, because that level of enthusiastic nerding is worth a point (even if it made no difference to the final result.)
We awarded five entirely meaningless points to one of the chef’s who happened to be in the trivia area when we were playing an audio question on Kung Fu Fighting, because we were sufficiently impressed with his dancing.
And we had another entry in the list of stupid questions we’ve been asked, when we were asked if a war that a song was about was fought before or after the song was written. Because there are a lot of songs written about wars that are yet to be fought.
Finally, one team decided against chipping in for the jackpot round, and after we asked the question, tried to slip in their (correct) answer with all the others, on something other than the jackpot answer sheets we handed out. ATTENTION ALL iQ TRIVIA PLAYERS, IF YOU DON’T CHIP IN FOR THE JACKPOT ROUND YOU DON’T GET TO HAZARD A GUESS.
See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
When one of our player commented that we were allowed to ask question about things that happened since the year 2000, we diligently pointed out the several times we explicitly asked about pop culture since then.
As opposed to The King & I being banned in Thailand, one team guessed that the banned film we were looking for was Some Like It Hot on account of it being offensive to ladyboys.
A veteran team demanded an explanation to a logic question, only to realise that they had written down some of the relevant information incorrectly.
See you next week.
Recently we saw this pic posted on Facebook.
And just like that we decided to make that the theme for your team names this week.
Take a song lyric & ask how it could have gone differently.
What if we DID start the fire?

What if everybody DIDN’T want to rule the world?
