Friday quiz time

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.

Correct, well googled phil.

Chimborazo

Chimborazo

bless you.

how dare you accuse me of googling…. like TJ i know everything!

if wiki decides to copy me then i cant be held responsible

A fact I have remembered since childhood along with the capital city of Honduras

I know it from a pub quiz, easy to remember.
Come on then phil, a question from you.

ahh sorry, was in a rush and thought iDave would ask another if anyone got it right.

Q. whats the largest living thing on earth?

I suspect iDave might know the answer to this 😉

Who was the only person to have served in all four of the “Great Offices of State”?

It’s some kind of vine!

Sorry, thought phil wasn’t coming back with one.

That’ll be the Great Barrier Reef

It’s pretty debatable. A fungus in Oregon.

Name the most northerly, easterly, southerly and westerly of the US states.

Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Hawai 😀

Alaska

Great barrier reef?

Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Hawai

Reet, reet, reet, wrang 🙂

Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Hawai
Reet, reet, reet, wrang

Must be Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Alaska then.

The Bear Islands are right next to the IDL

Oh Oh, I know, is it James Callaghan?

alaska is most northerly westerly and easterly as it crosses the date line..

Banana and cream

Correct iDave!

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

Who wrote, ‘wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none can come to buy’?

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 😆

I don’t believe anyone would cheat Jase. Public reputations at stake etc

Cheat? With my reputation?
