Tee from China Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 This is a quiz for people who know everything! I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers 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 t he 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.' Try not to cheat by using a dictionary etc Will give you 24hrs to ponder and then I'll give you the answers!

Jake Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Theoretically though dont spectators of boxing on the tele know the score??I thought that..!! No, nobody knows what's on the judges' scorecard until they are collected after the final bell. You are thinking of the TV pundits' estimate of the judges' scorecard - but that's just his opinion and completely unofficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
