Well, that would be Mount Everest! Cool!
I'm thinking Killmanjaro (sp?) in Africa.
I'm not sure but I'm going to guess Mt Aetna.
I have heard of this one...the answer is Mt. Everest...
It is just like the one that my brother and I always asked people when we were kids..."A plane containing Canadian and American passengers crashes on the border between America and Canada-where do you bury the survivors?"
Silly...they don't bury the survivors!
I am going to say Mt. Everest...my analytical husband does not agree but regardless if it was discovered or not it is still the highest mountain.
The answer is "Mount Everest!" Just because it wasn't discovered doesn't mean it wasn't the tallest in the world!! Thanks for the candy offer - I have wanted to try the rub-ons for some time.

Oh, I love brain teasters. They are my favorite next to logic puzzles of course. My guess is that Mt. Everest would have still been the highest mountain even before it was discovered.
Was it K-2

I just realized that duh, it's a brain teaser. Mount Everest was still the tallest mountain even though it had not been discovered. I should think before I speak.
Heather Stevens
Mount Everest!
WOW! I am never first. I will guess Mt. McKinley. Great blog candy.....sure would love to win that.
hi Wanda - great question - it is still Mt. Everest whether it was discovered or not! :-) tricky!!
Congrats on doing another give-away - lucky us!!
Beth (mommy to a busy 3 1/2 year old)
I'm a bad speller...sound it out...
Mt. Killamanjaro is my guess.
BUT...now that I read all your logical posters...I see my mistake. haha...all the same, I'll leave my first answer. Just to look silly!
Mt. Everest - great teaser!
even if something wasn't KNOWN to be there-it still is. Mt Everest it is-and my pilates instructor is going to climb it this year-she got close 2 years ago and the weather got real bad. She is the oldest person to climb the other 6 tallest , and this will get her in the Guiness book. She is in her 60's!
Mount Everest was the highest mountain, even before it was discovered!!

At first I was going to say Mt. Sinai then I read the question to my husband and he said "duh" It's still the highest mountain so I'll go with him and say it's a trick question and the answer is Mt. Everest.
This is a good one - Mount Everest. Love your blog. Thanks
I say Kilinmenjaro (totally spelt wrong I am sure) cool contest I am so going to have to do something like this!!!

It would be Mt Everest. Even if it wasn't know about it is still the highest. Thanks for the brain teaser.
That's a brain teaser all right, but the answer is...Mt Everest!
Thanks,
Alison
well, it would be mt. everest and i see that a lot of people before me have given the same answer.
love that blog candy!!
I cheated a bit (on accident of course) as I was scrolling down to post my answer. And there is no way I would have gotten your little brain teaser.
I was thinking of some landmark in Greece or Rome.
Now I feel really embarrassed. (signing off with pink cheeks!)
I had to read it twice before it hit me Mount Everest of course.I,m going to try that on my husband when he get,s home.LOL
I"m guessing K2 (Godwin Austen).
Thanks, Janet B
I'm gonna say Mt. Visuvias....if that's how ya spell it!
Mount Everest. Just because it wasn't discovered, doesn't mean it wasn't the highest.
Mount Everest was still the highest mountain in the world, even before it was discovered.
It would be Mt. Kangchenjunga in Northeast Nepal. Thanks for making us use our brains!
Pat
Mount Everest of course!!
Great question.....to go along with some outstanding blog candy!!!!
Debbie J.
Ummm...Mount Everest??? hehehe
I have *no* idea but my wild guess would be Mt. Fuji.

ps. oh now I get it.... ;-)
Mount Everest! Love your blog candy. I have never tried them before and would be thrilled to get them to work with.
Makalu, is the 5th highest mt. but was once thought to be the highest.
Cindy
Kilimanjero is my guess.
Tough question. My guess is Annapurna I, it was the first 8000+ mountain to be climbed. 1950.
Exerpt from Wikipedia "Even though Everest is the highest mountain on Earth today, there have been much taller mountains in the past. During the Precambrian era, the Canadian Shield once had enormous mountains 12,000 m in height that are now eroded down into rolling hills. These enormous mountains formed by the collision of plate tectonics much like the Himalaya and the Rocky Mountains."
Gotta love Google.
PS. I was a subscriber, but I deleted my subscription, because I find myself checking in everyday anyway!

Seriously though, there are higher mountains in the oceans. The geography major in me hasn't had the chance to come out for a while, so I just felt like saying.

Susan G....
My initial guess was Mt. Mckinley, but due to the fact that I "posted wrong" (Iam new to blogs) I have to Post again. so I know the real answer now. but if it word "discover" wasn't the key word I think Mt. Mc Kinley would be the highest peak.
Way funny. MT EVEREST!! LOL that is cute.
