> [@bordelond](#): > > You have 2 DQs from this round of IQs. Vince Vaughn has a weird surfing scene in _Couples Retreat_ … but I didn’t recognize “skeet surfing” and was taking a stab. Two things I’ll mention because you’re relatively new here and we can be idiosyncratic, If the host answers the question with a valid answer that wasn’t who the questioner had in mind, no DQ is awarded. Sometimes the questioner will rephrase. Other times, if the host was just guessing and the answer wasn’t really valid, a DQ would be awarded except for… Subjects of IQs are to be unique. If person has been the answer to an IQ this round, we’re not supposed to use them again and if another IQ is inadvertently asked no DQ is awarded. In cases of overlap, only the first question asked counts, even if it hadn’t yet been addressed before someone else asked another one targetting the same person. Someday a rule summary would be nice to have, hehe. ---
