Test

 
This is a good test, with some tantalizing and challenging questions. You should be able to get at least three, but you have to be a genius to get 6/6

  
1.   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?
2.  Only three words in standard English begin with the letters "dw." They are all common. Name two of them.
3.  There are fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name half of them?
4.   For readers in cricket playing countries there are 10 ways of being out in Cricket. Hit the ball twice is one. Can you name the other 9?

6.    Name six (or more) things that you can wear on your feet that begin with the letter "S."

2.   Dwarf, dwell, and dwindle.
3.   Period (full stop), comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.
