Never knew that Sudan even had pyramids, much less the most in the world. Cool.

Most of them are relatively tiny, around 6-10 meters tall. The biggest is 30 m tall. Khufu's Pyramid a.k.a. the Great Pyramid of Giza is, by contrast, 139 m tall (and 147 m originally). The Egyptians were a far more accomplished, important, and influential civilization than the Nubians directly to the south, and thus more famous and well-known.

El Chupacabra is hard to narrow down to one country. I personally use the term 'Latin American folklore', though not saying all Latin Americans are the same

Schrödinger's cat implies that when the cat is in the box, it is impossible to tell if it is still alive, and you can only find out by opening the box.

However, I'm pretty sure it's impractical, as it's animal cruelty, and no cat I know will go within 4 metres of an open box.

MEOW

After looking it up, I learned that there are species of bamboo native to essentially every tropical climate, ranging from Cuba, to Madagascar, to Chile, to Ghana. Hell, there are bamboo forests in France and New Jersey these days. Turns out you're totally right and I've come around. I think the clue could be better phrased. Simply "world's tallest grass variety" would probably do.
