Pub trivia hosts and players could spend a lifetime with them! However, as the years pass, some of the questions become outdated and obscure.  Events that are important one year become irrelevant many years later. Some questions are just plain difficult, outdated or not. 

Here’s a challenge for you. Let’s go into the Musty Dusty Trivia Bin and break out some moldy oldies to test the trivia prowess of even the greatest bar trivia and pub trivia players. Quench your thirst for a new trivia challenge by trying to answer these ten tough questions. The answers are at the bottom of this blog. Resist the temptation to peek!
