Some brain teasers
- 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 (but you can’t drink it if you keep kosher), 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 them.
- Name the one vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh (hint: processing for bugs does not count as processing).
- Name 10 things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter “S.”
