cowman12 Feb 04, 2007	Great teaser!
scallio Feb 08, 2007	Very clever! Thought I'd humor you with what I thought the answer was: Orlando! Tallest mountain in the "world" being the Matterhorn in Disneyworld... just a couple hours to fabulous ocean beaches or minutes to man made beaches within the "world"! I wasn't even certain there was a matterhorn in Disneyworld, but Space Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain could also have sufficed to be the tallest mountain in the "world". It's been 25 years since I've been to D-world although we just got back last week from Disneyland, which we always enjoy!
scallio Feb 08, 2007	Silly me, of course Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain do not have snow on them! But the Matterhorn does.
vlerma Feb 08, 2007	Have to admit my knowledge of geography helped with this one. Very good and I enjoyed it.
Sand-Storm Feb 13, 2007	gr8 job & informative too.
SweetPotato Jan 08, 2008	News to me!
Radioguy Jan 08, 2008	I might point out that the island of Guam is a submerged mountain, and from the base in the bottom of the Marianas Trench to the talles peak of Mount Lamlam, "Mount Guam" is 37, 820 feet tall, which is about 11.5 km, or 7.2 miles. But great teaser!
dogg6pound9 Jan 08, 2008	great teaser... i know alot about hawaii because i've always wanted to move there, or in the recent, just go to visit even... oh well, maybe someday i'll be able to afford to
hradilv Jan 08, 2008	Yawn.
bradon182001 Jan 08, 2008	I had no idea. My guess was Everest. Obviously that was incorrect. Good informative teaser.
phyllisa Jan 08, 2008	Good teaser, interesting
Scubee Jan 08, 2008	I must say "thanks" to the Discovery Channel for my knowing this one.
zaya Jan 08, 2008	How is this a brain teaser?
tommysmo Jan 08, 2008	This was easy for me. I've been to the big island of Hawai'i. Radio - I don't think you can count the marianas trench as part of the mtn of guam. I think you need to start from the sea floor. I'm guessing it's all in the definition of mtn geologically speaking.
wordmama Jan 08, 2008	Thank you for the explanation of the distinction between highest and tallest!
luckypuppy Jan 08, 2008	Did not know that. Thanks
UptheHill Jan 08, 2008	I never would have guessed!!
abrain Jan 08, 2008	good fun. I got the volcano in the sea part, but not the location.
AuthenticallyMe Jan 08, 2008	Got it right away. It was cool though, b/c you don't really think of needing a bikini when going near a snow covered mountain...b/c such mountains are usually not in warm climates... Thanks for the teaser!
auntiesis Jan 08, 2008	I see I wasn't the only one thinking Disney thoughts.
emu77alu02 Jan 08, 2008	Good one! I'd like to go there myself!
kauphi1976 Jan 08, 2008	yup i was up there a month ago ! and yeah i wore my board shorts under the jackets ;-)
mondayschild59 Jan 08, 2008	I was right. Hurray. I was going to say Tibet, but then I thought about the beaches. The only other would be in Hawaii. Thanks for the superb teaser. I loved it. Monday~
breathesunshine Jan 08, 2008	Once I read the answer I did a "doh" since I had heard this before. Oh well, it was fun trying!
Gerrard10 Jan 09, 2008	It was really cool, nice job!
avonma Feb 16, 2008	I thought of Hawaii right away, but I couldn't remember if the answer was Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa. Fun quiz, though.
Smudge Jan 08, 2011	Technically Chimborazo is the highest mountain the world, in terms of being furthest from the Earth's core or center of gravity.
craniac Jan 08, 2011	Glacial terrane?" Can't anyone spell anymore? It's "terrain."
spikethru4 Jan 09, 2011	craniac, don't you think to check stuff out before you make critical comments? "Terrane" and "terrain" are, according to the Collins dictionary, alternative spellings for the same thing.
