Answers at the bottom and don't cheat


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 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."

erm... I'm not claiming to be a know it all or anything of the sort, <span style="color: #FF0000">BUT</span> I don't think this is necessarily true anymore? You can buy bags of chopped and shredded lettuce these days... that in my opinion is lettuce that has been processed...

Are onions considered a vegetable? Because multiplying oinons do the same thing that asparagus & rhubarb do.

Aren't onions a condiment? No, wait, that's after they are grown.
Actually, I think onions are considered a tuber like carrots, but I'm not sure.
Gosh these little tests are sure making me feel silly

I thought they did also as I had one growing out of my composter this year.
 
My dad use to find them after not planting them for a year in that spot. Makes for a nice surprise and really big.
 
I know that a horse manure pile will grow huge watermelons. Funny thing is, no one planted them.
