Answer these questions then ...


1) Name the one sport in which neither the spectators
nor the participants know the score or the leader until the
contest ends.



2) What famous North American landmark is constantly
moving backward?



3) Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on
their own for several growing seasons. All other
vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only
two perennial vegetables?



4) What fruit has its seeds on the outside?



5) In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with
a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe,
and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any
way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?



6) Only three words in standard English begin with the
letters 'dw' and they are all common words. Name
two of them.



7) There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar.
Can you name at least half of them?



8) Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold
frozen,
canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except
fresh.



9) Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet
beginning with the letter 'S.'

an alternative answer to question 1 is the sport of orienteering
Sorry, I didn't mean to rain on your parade, but I googled one question and that site came up. And seeing Jokerman answered all of them, I thought I'd post that site that had a few more quesitons that you hadn't asked. :)
