NOT a MOVIE QUIZ
This is a quiz for those of us who think we know it all.
There are only nine questions, but DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS HERE IN A COMMENT. SEND THEM TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT IN A PRIVATE NOTE AND I WILL REPLY WITH THE ANSWERS. AND BE HONEST, ANSWER RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT USING THE INTERNET OR ANYTHING TO HELP YOU - JUST ANSWER NOW WITH WHAT YOU KNOW. THAT IS WHAT I DID AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ANSWER NUMBER 6, COULD PROVIDE 7 ANSWERS FOR NUMBER 7 AND ONLY 5 ANSWERS FOR NUMBER 9. I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE QUICKLY.
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 or More 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 4 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.'

This is NOT a movie quiz, but a general knowledge one. Take your mind off of politics and wars for a few minutes and have some fun. I will reply to your answers but remember that I'm on the other side of the world from most of you so I could be asleep when you send them - but don't worry, I'll get to them eventually.
It WOULD be wise to just post a comment to say you've submitted your answers because if some weird glitch happens and I don't get them I will know to reply and ask you to try sending it again. This did happen once on my movie quiz. And, to help keep this quiz on the Front (Home) Page so all the active members can see it, please vote the quiz up at the top of the quiz page.
And by the way, this was emailed to me by my big brother, who is smarter than me, he's Mensa, so he did better with it than I did.
Don't make short shrift of yourself! You give us a new movie quiz each week!
Thanks. Creating the movie quizzes is as much fun for me to do as it is for those who participate in them.
Interesting set of questions.. some I knew and others I guessed at.
You were a lot better with your knowledge and guesses than I was. I only posted what I knew was right, no guesses.
What can I say, just have a trivial mind.
A trivial mind is one to pursue.
A fantastic game invented by some Canadian hippies who lived in a commune in rural Ontario.
Submitted with guesses. A couple I threw out there, but it is just for fun right or wrong.
Thank you. It's quite a struggle trying to keep something that's fun on the Front (Home) Page, but I think a lot of people have a warped concept of what's fun these days of Social News Site warfare.

Looking forward to your answers.
Submitted!
Got it, and you certainly got it.
Sent guesses and answers in, a fun little exercise for the brain
Got it. Yeah, a fun little exercise for the brain, and what amuses me is that the only members who have even TRIED the quiz are the same members who are consistent movie quiz players.
