What tricky question about the Seven Summits. Very sneaky.

Very pleased I slowed down enough to read the Seven Summits question properly. I didn't know the leaders of the Philarmonic Orchestra, though. 9/10

Whoa, 10% on the Seven Summits question? Do that few people read the entire question? Could be a new record low.

9/10 today, fell at the last question again as usual

Never heard of the 7 summits & just messed up on the German 'Secret' police....yawn, going back to bed

9/10, like apparently almost everyone today I had an absolute brain-fart moment on the Seven Summits question and immediately hit K2 😂 That one kinda stings because I'd have known the answer if I wasn't going too fast to think, but I suppose the lucky guess on the Philharmonic balances it out haha

Second day in a row with 9/10 and a 50/50 on the last one, again guessed incorrectly.

Like most, I messed up the summit question, but it was/is an excellent trivia question - one that can be reasoned out if you have some generalized knowledge. Even if you didn't already know what the "Seven Summits" refers to, you could look at the options and discern that it was not the 7 highest peaks in the world. You'd have to go much farther down the list to get outside Asia. Some familiarity with the named peaks and/or languages would tell you those names come from elsewhere. And many people know that highest non-Asian mountains are the Andes. Add in the basic fact of 7 continents and all the elements were there to work it out without knowing the specific fact in question. Love it! Perfect Question, hardwired. It was only the nagging clock that defeated many of us.

7/10, 6919.

That Seven Summits question is deadly, I got the answer right but you're telling me that 71% guessed K2????

I've never given much credence to the thin air for #4: no one else had a jump that long at the games, except for that one by Bob Beamon. Everyone had the same benefit of the thin air, but only Beamon SHATTERED the record by almost two feet, at 29 feet 2.5 inches

Even weirder, it would take almost a dozen years for someone to record a jump that was 28 feet in length.

Rule of thumb: if you see a Jewish last name in an executive position, pick the organization based in New York.
