    Get one right and set the next question, sure to end in chaotic indifference.

    Q1. What point on the earths surface is the greatest distance from the centre of the earth?

    EDIT – didn’t see davepitchs thread and quite frankly my dear I don’t give a damn.

    The point farthest from the Earth’s centre is widely reported to be the summit of Chimborazo at 6,384.4 km (3,967.1 mi). This is due to the Earth being an oblate spheroid rather than a perfect sphere. The summit of Mount Everest is 2,168 m (7,113 ft) shorter at 6,382.3 km (3,965.8 mi) from Earth’s centre.

    The next question is which answers are the correct answers to what questions.

    I am sure that the answer to whats the largest living thing on earth? is not James Calaghan

    Surely everyone will know the answer to any question by Googling.

    To make it fairer I think only people not logged on to the internet should be able to answer 😆
