I can't find a list anywhere and i'm sick of loosing coin to the damn trivia game. Even more so because i have no way of knowing most of the answers at this time in game (lv6, in BlackRoot)
So, i'm starting a list here in case anybody else feels the same way.
edit: Yeah, i'm impatient, so i extracted the dialogue files and found the .dlg with the trivia Q&A. HA! ;)
I marked DrIstvaan's post as the solution for his input. Thank You DrIstvaan ;)

Where is that trivia game? I haven't ever encountered it. Maybe I could give some help if I knew where it is (so that I can check the questions).

Bar patrons offer it randomly at various bars around arcanum.
Save your game before entering bars. Patrons will randomly bet you 500 gold
on trivia questions, insult you, ignore you, or even attack you.
Thank you, Petrell!

In most cases it's women asking you the questions.
I was never attacked by them, but probably because charm and beauty were high enough as a half-elf.
Some answers can be found in the manual.
Like a question about the life expectation from 1 of the races (dwarfs or elves).
I think it was elves, the answer is 1000.
Nice work with the .dlg file, handy.
Just a couple of quick tips:
The trivia can trigger from any patron, though each bar seems to have one patron who is unusually hostile and will always either blow you off, demean you in an attempt to start a fight (the only way to avoid it is to grovel and kiss their boots), or follow the "crash survivor" dialogue and turn out to be Molochean Hand.
I would suggest using quicksave (F7) before speaking to EVERY patron, and then using quick load (F8) if you do not get the trivia or for some reason get the answer wrong.
If you do this you will be able to play trivia with everyone in the bar except the bartender, the surly one, and any bouncers or special characters that may be hanging around.
Early in the game this will be one of your primary income sources... at least until you are strong enough to start clearing out the ruins of Kree.
