    quiz for people who know everything!

    There are only nine questions.

    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.'

    So are you wanting guesses?

    I can answer a couple...

    1. Boxing
    4. Strawberry
    5. Just a guess, but the bottles are probably placed on the pears when they are still buds and they grow inside.
    6. dwarf, dwell, and dwindle
    7. comma, period, colon, semi-colon, exclamation point, question mark, dash, parentheses... that's 8.
    8. Another guess, but I can't come up with any other ways that lettuce is sold besides fresh.
    9. I can come up with socks, shoes, sandals, slippers, stilettos, and skates

    Wow, you did really good with this. I was scratching my head, tho # 7 & 9 I got. Did you google or are you really smarter than a 5th grader?

    #1 correct

    #4 correct

    #5 correct... How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle.
    The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.

    #6 correct

    #3 I am pretty certain one is Rhubarb. Is the other Asparagus? Asparagus is mainly a guess, but know it takes two growing seasons to become mature. Chives come back every season but that is a herb. I am sort of stumped on the second one.

    2. North American landmark constantly moving backward: Niagara Falls ..
    (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.)

    3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb.


    6. Three English words beginning with dw: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle...(dweeb) is that in the dictionary?

    I like to think I am smarter than a fifth grader. lol
    #9 I challenged my daughter with and we came up those. The others I knew or guessed.
    I think #7 is kind of of pointless for an online quiz. Just look at your keyboard and you can get all of them except for ellipses!

    No, he is really that good. A true and wonderful geek. I sent him my daughters math and Chemistry homework via cel phone picture last night, and he managed to solve and explain that as well. He is one smart cookie!
