Do you know?
Here's a quick quiz to test your memory and thinking skills which should work out your temporal and frontal lobes. See how you do!
- Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.
- What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?
- 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?
- What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
- 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?
- Only three words in Standard English begin with the letters "dw" and they are all common words. Name two of them.
- There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?
- Name the one vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

good job all... I believe the answer to #2 is both Niagara falls and the statue of liberty. Niagara falls retreats every year due to erosion, and the Statue of liberty moves approx 1 inch per year due to tectonic plate expansions in the Atlantic. Since she is facing east (towards the sister statue in France), that means she's moving back.

without looking at the others:
1. boxing
2. grand canyon, it is separating at a rate of 0.001mm per year
3. potatoes, garlic
4. strawberries, raspberries
5. pear is grown inside the bottle
6. dwindle, dwindling, dwindles,
7. yes, exclamation mark, full stop, comma, colon, semi-colon, quotation marks, question mark etc.
8. melon?
9. socks, shoes, slippers, stockings, stilettos, sexy shoes, smelly shoes,
I've since looked at the other answers:
I vote potatoes and artichokes as I've got both in my garden and both are perennial (although artichoke might not be a vegetable)
dwarf is good, i think i might have cheated with the derivatives of dwindle.
Lettuce sounds good although I still can't think of any time melon is cooked etc. My wife freezes bananas to use in bread so that's out.
I think skates or sandals or sneakers would have been better than my last 2 efforts.
Good puzzle
I think that Asparagus comes back every year... that's all I am going to say though... not going to mess with the other answers ...
1. boxing
2. grand canyon, it is separating at a rate of 0.001mm per year
3. potatoes, garlic
4. strawberries, raspberries
5. pear is grown inside the bottle
6. dwindle, dwarf, dwell, what about "DWEEB"
7. yes, exclamation mark, full stop, comma, colon, semi-colon, quotation marks, question mark etc.
8. melon?
9. socks, shoes, slippers, stockings, stilettos, sexy shoes, smelly shoes,
damn...everyone is copying the answers of the person above. boxing has been mentioned a million times.

huzzy
Tennis match, huh? So what's this love, 15, 30, 40, game/match/set crap? I guess those are just arbitrary phrases and numbers that ref likes to call out when he/she sees something they like (such as a hotdog!).
In case you didn't catch the sarcasm...

The Staue of Liberty is out. She does face east toward the arriving huddles masses, but the the Earth's rotation is also toward the east. That would mean the Sacred Lady of Freedom is facing her movement, hence, not going backwards.
