Something I found while looking through some old text documents. I've no idea where or when I originally found this.
I'd request that you send me your answers rather than spoil the quiz for later entrants. There are no prizes! I'll supply the answers to everyone who submits an entry and I'll publish the answers here once entries have dried up.
(Don't look up the answers before sending your entry.)
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 one 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." |

I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, possibly in a chain email:
1 - Boxing/MMA
2 - ?
3 - ?
4 - Strawberry
5 - I assume they grow it in there.
6 - Dwarf, Dwell, Dwelling, Dwarves, Dwindle, Dwellings, Dwells
7 - Period, Question Mark, Exclamation Point, Comma, Colon, Semi-colon, Dash, Ellipsis, Hyphen
8 - Lettuce
9 - Shoes, Sock, Sandals, Snowshoes, Slippers, Sneakes, Skis, Skates _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |
