participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

every year.  What are the only two perennial vegetables?

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.
