How Smart Are You?
Think you're smart..? Try this & find out. You can't count any answer as
correct unless you answer ALL parts of that question correctly. You're
cheating if you scroll down before answering the questions first.
Quiz for those who know everything:
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 Name the only sport in which the ball is always in possession of the
team on defense and the offensive team can score without touching the
ball?
5. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
6. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brand y, 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?
7. Only three words in Standard English begin with the letters "dw" and
they are all common words. Name two of them.
8. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at
least half of them?
9. Where are the lakes that are referred to in the Los Angeles Lakers?
10. There are 7 ways a baseball player can legally reach first base
without getting a hit. Taking a base on ***** (a walk) is one way. Name
the other 6.
11. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned,
processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.
12. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with
the letter "S."
The answers are in the NEXT post.

Why'd you give the answers so quick?!
I knew #1, then when I scrolled to see what other were already posting I see the ANSWERS!
I think it's time we all start posting those stupid games again, where the friggin zombie jumps out at you.
Those are always a barrel of laughs
