Thank you smoooth2 for another interesting little quiz. Kept me occupied for a couple of hours today.
I was a little perturbed as to how to find the answer to the final question, but once I had it Sussed
I found it fascinating, and wanted to check out several other places of personal interest.
Am looking forward to my results next week. Keep up the good work.

Thanks mahdam.       

As I said once before, I get a bit of a buzz researching the questions. Also, keeps me occupied and off the streets.

Can't play golf every day. Tennis elbow, war wounds, shaggers hips and multiple Leo's have finally caught up with me.

Never too old to stop learning though ... eh   !!

Hi Smooth

Thanks for this but only 1 comment regarding question 7 country equator has snow.

There are only two places along the Equator elevated enough to be in the running: Mount Kenya (the namesake of the eponymous country) and the Ecuadorean Andes.  Not only does Mount Kenya have snow, it has enough of it to host a ski resort.  At the very top of the mountain, there are even eleven small glaciers, although they are currently receding quite rapidly and will almost certainly have disappeared within the next three decades.  The Equator does not go directly over the top of Mount Kenya’s summit, which rises to 5 199 m (17 057 ft), but rather slices through the north slope of the mountain, reaching a maximum elevation of around 3 450 m (11 320 ft) which is still high enough to allow for very occasional snow, but not much, as most precipitation occurs on the southeastern slope.
