I love a bit of HQ Trivia, folks, but I also hate it for two reasons: the app is buggy as fuck and the questions are often quite US-centric. But hey, it certainly doesn’t stop me from jumping into a game or two each day.
In today’s game, however, every Australian was absolutely bloody stoked, because question 3 was simply, “What is the capital of Australia?” Turns out this was one of the most savage questions to ever appear on the mobile game show, with a whopping 1.1 million people getting it wrong as hell.
🇦🇺 @thepmo we may need to chat… 1.1 million people did not know the answer to this 😳 pic.twitter.com/fRX3catJ1Q

Absolutely fucking owned. To be fair, I’m sure Canberra doesn’t get a whole lot of international attention, but still, sucked in. For once, we got a question just for us, and you better believe we’re relishing that shit.
As you’d expect, Twitter went wild shortly after the question was aired.
This is my favourite @hqtrivia savage question EVER! For just a moment, Australians were trivia kings and queens. pic.twitter.com/UMJgCOJAId

played HQ Trivia again, and it asked: “What is the capital of Australia is and I put Sydney and then I realized that Sydney is a city in Australia not a capital (ps: i’m bad)
