Interesting quiz. Good questions and explanations. Note - Mount Logan is 6,000 (not 600) meters.

Good quiz. I deliberately spelled Brasil with an "s" because that's the way the people of Brasil spell it. I knew I'd get it "wrong", because there were no alternate spellings...but sometimes you just have to do what is right and make 9/10 instead of 10/10.

Very interesting, I seriously need to touch up on my Geography.

600 meters is right. If Mt. Logan was 6000 meters tall, it would have been the tallest mountain on Earth. And to spell "brazil", you should use Z instead of S, because this is in the English language, not Portugese.

This was a nice quiz. I enjoy geography. Just a note, Mt. Logan is 6050 meters above sea level. Mt Everest is 8850 meters. Google either one to check.

brainglue - I hate to be so blunt, but I have to ask - Are you really that stupid? You either have no clue as to what a meter is, or you don't know how to convert meters to feet. Conversion factor is 1 meter = 3.1 feet (approx.). So, 600 meters is 1,860 ft. (approx.). There are hills in Iowa that are nearly that tall !!!!! As I said, Mount Logan is over 6,000 meters (approx. 18,600 ft.).
