The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season 13 – Reese Riverson

[Hunchman801]

You are both correct about Mauna Kea. Any takers for the highest mountain from the center of Earth? It is not Everest, which is also certainly not the mountain furthest from the equator.

[Greengoop]

Dammit, I said equator instead of centre of the earth! I always get those muddled up

[Hunchman801]

I know it's hot by the equator, but not that hot.

[Greengoop]

Can I guess again? I believe I might know the answer

[Hunchman801]

Sure, you can answer again.

[Greengoop]

Could it possibly be K2?

[Hunchman801]

No it's not!

One hint: equatorial bulge. It's Christmas Eve, so everyone can answer again.

[PluMGMK]

Kilimanjaro?

[The Jonster]

I don’t remember the name of the mountain…I only know it starts with a C….mmmmm….

Mt. Chimbonanzo?

[Greengoop]

Mt. Chimborazo?

[Rsandee]

I have no idea but I'm going to say Mount Fuji.

[DaveRattlehead]

I think Jonster got this one right!

[Greengoop]

I think Jonster got this one right!

Jonster may have thought of the correct answer, but I spelt it right

[The Jonster]

Thank you for proving to the community you know how to spell!

[Greengoop]

It is alright, I’m still awaiting the fixture of the double space and either the just or recently in the “movies you just recently watched” thread

[Hunchman801]

Jonster may not have gotten the spelling right, but he was the first to think of the correct answer, so he gets the point. Special mention to Greengoop as well!

DaveRattlehead, Greengoop: 4
PluMGMK, Rsandee: 3
The Jonster: 1

Question 18: Give an example of a real-world company named after something from Lord of the Rings.

[Greengoop]

Gandalf’s Groceries!!!

[Rsandee]

Old Toby, the finest weed in the southfarthing.

Edit: I rememer having tried a beer called "Radagast" in the Czech Republic once, tasted horribly.

[Hunchman801]

Close enough, but it looks like it's actually called Radegast!

Any other ideas? Everyone may answer again.

[DaveRattlehead]

Moria?
