Title: A Quiz For People Who Know Everything
Post by: Teresa on February 14, 2006, 10:38:40 PM
Here we go.....
Who can be the first one to guess this one?
These are not too hard... but do make you think a bit.

There's one "sport" in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.
What is it?

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?

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?
???

The only way that I can think of would be to place the bottle in the tree with the fruit bud inside and allow it to grow inside the bottle. It would be a long process that way though.

How right you are!!!

The pear grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree.
The bottle is left in place for the whole growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.

Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a man who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to

smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars

will he be able to smoke?
Title: Re: A Quiz For People Who Know Everything
Post by: Teresa on February 22, 2006, 01:24:48 PM
As many as he makes ?????
Title: Re: A Quiz For People Who Know Everything
Post by: Mom70x7 on February 22, 2006, 01:33:47 PM
I would have thought six -

Five new cigars from the original 25 butts.  :P

But then he'll have five new butts, so he can make 1 more cigar.  :P

Yuck ;)

Sounds Like a answer on jepordy, so if I were to reply with the queation,
I'd say "What is Foot Ware?"

Another blunder! Nothing like being the new slow boy on the block... I'll get up to speed one of these days. "Now where was that darn cup of coffee...
