Quiz for those who know everything
I will post the answers tomorrow evening around 6 or so.......
Write down your answers and see if you are even close.

This is a quiz for people who know everything! I found out in ahurry 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?

Me, me, that would be me, the unstable one. lol

:D Yeppers, you sure did and I do appreciate the fine job you did for me. lol I enjoyed this post, tested my trivia knowledge, as I got the answer to some or all of 7. The sports one and the Niagra Falls one, I did not know, but you can be assured if I ever hear those questions again, I now have the correct answer. I have a great knowledge of trivia, too bad I can't find a job to use it. lol

Thanks for giving me something to think about, this bugged me all day at work.

Chat soon,
Roz
