On May 20, 2011 I became co-host of the Dive Bar Divas Pub Quiz at Burt's Tiki Lounge in Salt Lake City, UT. The quiz is held on Sundays at 9 unless there is a band that night.
Some of the answers contain notes to myself to clarify an answer or just because I think they are interesting.
This blog contains most of the rounds I contributed to the quiz, I am excluding most visual rounds and those about specific people which were written for birthdays and other occasions.
