A quiz lets see who is the cleverest on this M/B

Well I don't know the answers, though I could stab a guess at a couple.

Would you be so kind as to supply the right answer in time?

ATB from George

Hello George

I was going to print all the answers this Friday,as per the first line of my post.

I know the answers for 1to 6 still working on the others!

I think the sport would be boxing and the landmark Niagara Falls.  I have seen the bottles hanging from trees in the south of France - they place them over the fruit bud and the pears grow and ripen inside the bottles.  Strawberries have the seeds on the outside.  Dwelling is the only word beginning with dw I can think of.  Just looking at my keyboard I can see more than 7 punctuation marks.  I know asparagus is a perennial, is the other rhubarb?  Socks, shoes, sandals, skates, slippers and....hmmm.

dwindle

and snowshoes

Oops, just realised I did all the variations on Dwell/dwelling twice, rather than the variations on dwindle (dwindle, dwindles, dwindling, dwindled). I was tapping on my iphone and it crashed mid-way. But you get the point.

And stilettos.

Here's the link with all the questions and answers

The real question is why were the three questions having to do with American sports (baseball and basketball) left off of mista's post? Quite the challenge!

You could add sun tan lotion to the things you can wear on your feet, as I painfully found out a few years ago, in the normal course of events my feet never see the sun.

You can be served little gem lettuce hot in a restaurant, does that count as selling?

Looks like we hav sum cleva people on dis message bored.

Utter nonsense re lettuce. I've cooked lettuce soup and also a classic french dish includes peas and lettuce layers then cooked with butter.

… and skis and a snowboard I suppose.

Boxing could have beeen correct until they stared showing the judges scores on a round by round basis - or is that only to the TV audience?

Niagra Falls makes sense.

Looks like its all round to Bruces this weeked for a Lettuce pie.....yummy.

Google 'Petits Pois a La Francais'. My version came from the incomparable Simon Hopkinson, an very good it was too.

I was going to invite your for dinner but you've blown it now.

Boxing

Niagara Falls (the rim edge is eroded)

Rhubarb & Asparagus

Strawberry

A brandy bottle is placed over a single pear fruit bud just after petal drop & it is grown on inside bottle until ripe. This is cut down & the distillery adds the liquor & seals the bottle.  Good job its crap brandy as it does nothing for either the brandy or the pear. 

Dw = All those previously mentioned

Punctuation such as full stop or “period” as it’s called in USA +++ all those previously mentioned

The official answer is lettuce – but it is wrong, it can be cooked as previously mentioned by Chef Bruce - braised lettuce and peas is a classic Chateau Mike dish.

Shoes, sandals, sneakers, slippers, socks, stockings, skates

OK thats me done,must go now or my lettuce pie will be overcooked,

Answers To Quiz: 1. The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends:Boxing. 2. North American landmark constantly moving backward: Niagara Falls .. The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute. 3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb. 4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside:Strawberry. 5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It 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 entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.  6. Three English words beginning with dw: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle... 7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.  8.
