21. Mt. Everest

Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain?

Submitted by bedead · Added 15 May 2018

Solution:

Before Mt. Everest was discovered, it was still the tallest mountain; its height did not change based on human knowledge. The riddle plays on the idea of discovery, but the mountain's physical characteristics remain constant regardless of whether it has been discovered or not.
