Ok Everyone, thanks for trying. Here are the answers which as far as I am aware, are correct.
Answers To Quiz:
The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends: Boxing
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.)
Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb.
The fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry.
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.
Three English words beginning with dw: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle.
Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.

Ugh, I don't know anythiiinnnngg!! Instead, I'll just criticize and critique the answers of others 
.
Is boxing really the sport where you don't know the leader or the points? One can usually tell who's getting hit more just by watching so you can pretty much tell who's winning. If you really wanted to be sure, you could yourself count the number of clean hits to keep track between the two boxers..I don't know. I think an even more appropriate answer would be...arm wrestling!
I guessed Niagara Falls for the moving monument one because of continental drift, so at least that seems to be right.
The only 'dw' word I could think of was 'dweeb'..but I'm not so sure that should be considered standard english.
The rest were insane! I couldn't even hazard a guess!
