Oops, forgot the comments again!
I *think* the one in Seattle was around 200 ft which is.... 60 metres? I think 50 is a better answer though, though I fully expect a few answers in feet which could bork the median.... :pac:
I think my new process is - ditch any process
No idea but Americans like to supersize things...
I’m looking out the back at my neighbours houses and I know it’s about 6 metres to the top gutters so I’m visualising 10 houses on top of each other. I used to have random thoughts like this back in the days of getting stoned! Good times
Guessing that the picture isnt Stateside, just doesnt look American but estimating that it's approx 27 people tall around 1.8 m each and adding 30% for the yanks
I have no concept of distance whatsoever, I know the Rockefeller tree that fell over was something like 75ft... So it could hardly be much taller or it would fall over? But would they have used one of the California Redwoods if it is Seattle and they are like 300ft + or something ridiculous.
Not even sure where to begin on this one. They got some giant trees in America, but I have no idea how to judge the size or distance of things, and I reckon I won't be the only one, so absolute stab in the dark... go big or go home... or go small and get stepped on... could go either way...
I know I saw this but I can't remember and my head's wrecked trying to so I'm just going with the first thing that popped into my head.
40 guitars. A guitar is a meter in length, so I guess I'll say 40 meters if you prefer.
Do I get extra points for submitting this whilst listening to christmas songs and wrapping christmas presents? I could reeeeeeeally use a few extra points. So my strategy here is to look at the biggest tree in my back garden and then add a few meters and hope everyone else thinks the same. So I'm going to go for 15 meters tall.
69 meters. Because I want to have 69 as an answer and I have no capacity to estimate height :pac:
So I'm around 1.78 metres tall. How many 'me's could it possibly be? I'm assuming it is a real tree, and they didn't just paint a skyscraper green and stick some branches out the windows? Let's say it's somewhere between 10 and 15 'me's tall....0 -

True to my word at least...

I can't even use the excuse of thinking it was feet either, I was just thinking, well, there are loads of tall trees, so if this is a world record, this one must be really tall!
Now I see the tallest tree in the whole world is only 116m, so yeah, I have no excuses other than being an absolute moron

I thought the answer was going to be 140m so I halved it thinking everyone else would guess low.
I just pulled a homer.
pull a Homer (third-person singular simple present pulls a Homer, present participle pulling a Homer, simple past and past participle pulled a Homer)
(informal, humorous) To succeed despite idiocy.
