1. I like Serges answer coz it looks so darn accurate, and I was gonna say round 9000 metres. But now I want to say 8998.
2. Mt Everest
3. Edmund Hilary & Tenzing? Norgay. (though I don't mind the theory that Mallory got their first.)
4. 1953
5. Well at night time yes, coz it's damn cold! I suppose a full body sweat momentarily exposed to the air might cool you off for a few seconds before you got way too crispy.
6. Every man for himself.
7. Dehydration
8. Well you cold, your numb, I suppose that makes sense. I think your skin changing colour is an early sign also.
9. :s I have no clues with blues, jazz or any other discordant form of music where I can't hum the tune.
10. lol UNRA

hee hee, Sorry about that. didn't mean to leave you guys hanging.

1. 29,035- Serges had the old, pre-modern equipment answer.
2. Mount Everest
3. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, May 29th 1953. Bonus point to PA for the Mallory comment!
4. C8H10N4O2

SurvivalQuestions
5. NO! Do not strip off your clothes in the desert. Apart from the risk of severe sunburn, an unclothed body will loose sweat through evaporation requiring even more fluids to cool it.
6. Don’t Panic! (Serges how could you miss that?)
7. b) dehydration
8. Numbness

General
9. Son House
10. UNHCR

Looks like the count goes to Serges who just barely edges out PA. Sorry again anout the delay. :0)
