There are only nine questions.
This is a quiz for people who know everything!
I found out in a hurry that I didn't. 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 s 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. 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 three 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.'

Only one building outside Washington, D.C., is featured on U.S. banknotes.
There’s only one spot outside the nation’s capital that you’ll see featured on some of the seven U.S. banknotes currently in circulation. The $5 bill features the Lincoln Memorial, while the $10 features the Treasury Building — fitting, since Alexander Hamilton, whose visage adorns the obverse, served as the Treasury Department’s first secretary. The $20 and $50 finish the architectural tour of Washington with the White House and Capitol Building, respectively. The $1 is notably absent from this list, as the only building-like structure on its reverse side is a pyramid with a floating eye — and no such pyramid exists in the U.S. (or the world).

$100 is the highest legal denomination in U.S. dollars.

FACT or FIB
Ready to Reveal?







INCORRECT.
IT'S A FIB
The Benjamin isn’t the highest federal reserve note in the U.S. — that’d be the $10,000 bill. First printed in 1918 and featuring the face of Salmon P. Chase, Abraham Lincoln’s treasury secretary, the currency was discontinued in 1969 when Congress purged large denomination bills.
The $100 bill switches things up by featuring Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Although an immensely important building — it’s the site where revolutionaries signed the Declaration of Independence and where the Founding Fathers crafted the U.S. Constitution — it’s also a thematic choice, seeing as Benjamin Franklin (depicted on the obverse of the bill) is undoubtedly Philadelphia’s most famous historical figure. But this isn’t Independence Hall’s only appearance on U.S. currency. A very small section of the interior of the building is also displayed on the 1976 reissue of the $2, which includes a reproduction of John Trumbull’s 1818 painting “Declaration of Independence.”
