[quote=Nutty_ZA;47443][b]1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or whom is in the lead until the contest ends. boxing?

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? Rhubarb and Asparagus!

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside? strawberry

5. In many liquor stores(I assume this is in the States), 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? is it something like getting an egg in a bottle? we once did an experiment at school by lighting a match & dropping it in a bottle, you then put a hard boiled egg on top & as the match burns up the oxygen it creates a vacuum & sucks it in!

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters "dw" and they are all common words. Name them. dwarf, dwell and... it'll come to me!!!

7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them? collon, semi-collon, comma, full stop, apostrophe, hyphen, brackets! (top of the class in english!

)

8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.[/size][/font]i'd guess apples-although not sure if you can buy them stewed for pies?
