^ That's all I could think of. Seems a bit obvious though?

That has to be one of the quickest correct answers that I have seen here! I don't know about the Simpsons' connection.

I remember the Simpsons episode. Lisa was convinced that she was getting increasingly stupid as she grew up and the puzzle you set was on a juice carton (or similar) at school during her lunch hour. All the kids, even the notoriously unintelligent ones, got it straight away. It drove Lisa mad that she just couldn't see it!
Quick question; if measured from the centre of the earth, what is the highest mountain on earth? |

Everest is tallest measured from mean sea level and the Earth isn't a perfect sphere. So I suppose it must be some tall mountain that's close the the equator. But I've no idea which one. |

Guam?
Guam is the truncated top of an undersea mountain. But one very uneducated politician was warning people not to all gather together on one side because he was afraid that the island would 'tip over' as if it were a floating pancake! Stitchawl Last edited by Stitchawl; 10-17-2012 at 06:17 PM. |

It's about 2,500 metres less than Everest above sea level. |

I don't know the name of a specific mountain, but I bet it is in the Andes.

It being placed in the Andes rules out what was going to be my guess. I recently read about the formation of the Hawaiian Islands, the volcanoes there, and how Mauna Loa was the tallest mountain on the Earth if measured from base to tip, allowing for all that is below sea level.

Not necessarily I'm afraid.
The one I'm looking for is in Ecuador and so much closer to the equator. Last edited by Bilbo1967; 10-18-2012 at 03:15 AM. |
