'''Curved yellow fruit''' refers to unnaturally easy [[giveaway]] clues, or questions that contain them. In the strictest sense, the preceding material must be sufficiently obscure, non-uniquely identifying, or convoluted that almost every buzz on the question will occur on this clue; thus, the entire text of the question reduces to one line that most elementary school kids would be able to answer.<br />
<br />
A tossup on Pietro Mascagni that begins with five lines of incredibly difficult information and follows with "FTP name this composer of ''Cavalleria Rusticana''" is '''not''' a curved yellow fruit question, since most people outside of opera circles and [[quizbowl]] have never heard of the work; rather, it is an extreme example of a [[difficulty cliff]]. On the other hand, a tossup on George Washington that begins with five lines of incredibly difficult information and ends "FTP name the first president of the United States" '''is''' a curved yellow fruit question, since most second-graders could answer that.<br />
<br />
The original curved yellow fruit question was a [[tossup]] from a [[CBI]] tournament in the 1980s, which gave about a line of useless information before "FTP name this curved yellow fruit."<br />
<br />
Potential writers of curved yellow fruit questions are encouraged to consult [[Weiner's Laws|Weiner's Law #1]] to discover the error of their ways.<br />
