January 11, 2007 - Corn Trivia

Well, after last week's question which some folks found a little off-putting, I decided to go with something totally non-controversial. So, here goes...

TRIVIA QUESTION:

How many kernels does the average ear of corn have?


TRIVIA ANSWER:

800 kernels in 16 rows.
Also,

There is one piece of silk for each kernel.

Corn always has an even number of rows on each ear.
