Love living in Britain, climbing the tallest mountain really isn't much more than an exhausting day trip and bragging rights for the next year:)

It's the same in Australia, just a good walk up and back, beaut views from the top though (same for Ben Nevis)

Where I am, climbing the tallest mountain nearby involves a lot of cold and not a lot of oxygen (not that I've done it), and that mountain is not even half the height of Everest.

Aye. I also went up the highest peak in Belgium - drove up it by car! It's basically just a flat car park.

I was disappointed that Mars wasn't one of the categories. Olympus Mons has to be more well known than some of these.

Ditching Mt Mitchell for Olympus Mons would be an improvement, I feel.

Is there a reason anyone can tell me why Everest is listed as 'Earth' and not Nepal?

It's probably because "highest mountain on earth" sounds more impressive (and it's more descriptive) that "highest mountain in Nepal." BTW, it's also in China...

I believe about 30% of jetpunkers are American, meaning that the large majority of Americans did not know it either. I am aware that most Jetpunkers are not American

Puncak is a term for "peak". So "Jaya" on its own must work.

If we were speaking Indonesian, but in English puncak does not mean peak. Any tautologous names are common in a lot of languages, including English.

The highest peak in Greece is actually Mytikas. (Mount) Olympus is the name of the mountain.

You should specify mainland Australia. Mawson peak on Heard Island is higher (2745 m).

This quiz features 6 mountains in the USA. That's a bit ridiculous, unless you include one for each state of Australia too.

Well the USA has 13x the population of Australia...

So if the USA has 6, you should just be happy Australia got rounded up to be included.

There's ridiculous and then there's the above comment. Lots of ridiculous stuff going down in America these days though so what can you do.

The USA only has 4% of the world's population, so by this logic, we should only have one mountain from the USA, then the majority taken up by India and China. Sound good?

I thought not. This is about geography, not population, and the USA is not a quarter of the world.

Still, this page is an American one, so the users on this page are more than 4% Americans, so the interests might be slightly more from an American point of view and answers might always remain more US-centric (I like this expression!) than the average. For sure, most non-geographic quizzes would be a lot easier for me, too. Anyway, I still like playing them ;-)

That's such a dumb argument. There are none in India, the most populated country. Denali and maybe Whitney should be included, and we can stretch that to Rainier and Mauna Kea as well but the other two are pushing it. Sad to see that USA gets 6 yet 3 continents go with 1 or fewer

Is there a reason Indonesia's wasn't just listed as Oceania? New Guinea is a part of Oceania.
