Hello fellow Rhodies,

Here is another quiz to get your braining going this morning.  I did much
worse on this one than the other one.

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
