Since this is the Table quiz forum, how about a thread where you ask a table quiz style question, and whoever gets it gets to ask another. Just like all those specific ones, except about anything.

The person who got the answer right asks the questions, there was something about it on page one

When someone tells you that you've answered their question correctly you can ask yours.

Google is cheating btw.

Actually it's more like 29,035ft

phillg

although its true that it steadily grows every year, its more likely to be milimetres, 7 feet is a little excessive.... so you are wrong its 29,028 maybe 29,029ft....

Capt'n Midnight

When first measured fairly accurately it was measured to be exactly 28,000 feet , so the lads added another 2 foot on to it make their measurement seem precise. (0.007% extra free \o/ )

Depending on how you measure the height of a mountain, there are two other claimants to being the worlds tallest mountain.

These are the only 2 players who have scored in every season of the premier league.

This question was asked on the soccer forum a few months ago but I cant find it now. Think there are 7 but there are definitely 5.

phillg

you are very wrong there captain, you are saying that mt Everest is 1,029 ft shorter than what is on record? have you been up there with your measuring tape?? trust me when i say this. FACT: Mt Everest is a lot taller than 28,000 ft, i am going to stick with my original answer... 29,029ft

I think you meant to say first measured at 29,000 ft, and they added 2 feet.
this was done using an early theodolite, from india

as it stands it is it is recorded at abour 29,016 feet to the highest rock, but mountains are recorded to highest point of ice or snow, so that is why the height of everest varies
if i was answering the original question, i would of said 29,028 ft

p to the e

mount everest is 8,848 m high. there's 100 cm in a metre, 2.54 centimetres in an inch and 12 inches in a foot. work it out! and the worlds highest mountain is mauna kea form base to summit where only a third of it stands above sea level.(books are filled with readable stuff)

if you're in a race and you take over the person in last what position are you in?

Overtaking him has no bearing on your position in the race whatsoever.

The only way you can overtake the person in last position is by lapping him. Therefore you could be in any other position in the race from 1st to 2nd last and overtake the person in last position.

Not the answer you were expecting I'm sure.;)

Mellor

No Everest is the worlds highest mountain. Height is measure above sea level.
mauna kea is the tallest, measure from base to height.

as Hagar is spot on about the race, you probaby meant to ask if you over take the person in 2nd, what position are you in.

you did say "take over" rather than overtake - so it must be in a relay race, in which case you are now in last place.
*me wanders off to cut the barbers hair*

Chimborazo is the highest mountain

phillg

surely if you overtake the person in last position then you are second last in the race or you could also be in first position if there were only people in the race therefore you were originally last or second and now you are first position.

phillg

and btw chimborazo (20,560ft, 6,267m) is not the highest mountain but it is if you measure the distance from the center of the earth to the top of the peak. although it stands at 20,560 ft above sea level, it's peak is farthest from the earth's center and neither is mauna kea but is if you measure from base to peak mauna kea is the tallest mountain on earth (33,476 ft, 10,203m). either way Everest is officially the tallest mountain on earth standing at 29,035 ft, 8,850 m.:eek: :eek:
