I really like AMAC. Why do they have so many lousy questions and errors? I enjoy trivia that educates. Doesn’t anyone there proofread these before posting? Shouldn’t they replace the person that creates these quizzes?

Knowing Banff is in Canada, I almost picked it until I remembered that the Rockies also extend into Canada. My 5 of 10 were mostly guesses.

I did the math in my head and knew right away that the height in question was in meters. All I can say in response to that is, shame on AMAC for pandering to such nonsense. The rest of the world may be shackled to a ridiculous measurement system that holds us hostage to the number 10 but we have something much better, units that were calibrated to be useful, meaningful and so far as is possible, easy to remember.

As to the quizzes in general, They are frustratin’ because oftentimes questions refer to obscure points of minutiae that all but require a guess. That’s no fun, and hardly an accurate measure of our knowledge of the subject matter.

Only got 4 right, and I lived in Colorado for a time. Pathetic!
But Mt. Elbert ( and Harvard) are both thousands of feet higher than listed.

Mount Elbert is over 14000 feet. Not 4400.

4/10. All guesses. I’ve never been to the Rockies and my score proves it.

Does AMAC have a fact-checker?
Denver is called the “mile-high” city.
A mile is over 5,000 feet.
The answer to question 1 has the tallest mountain in Colorado as being a lower elevation than Denver!
Really ?
Perhaps the answer to question 1 is over 14,000 feet rather than 4,000 feet ?

5/10 This is deep trivia. I lived in Colorado near Aspen for years and didn’t know most of this information. A good lesson on the Rockies for me.

6/10 Don’t know much about the Canadian Rockies. Also, should have put 4,401 “meters” on the Mount Elbert question.

2/10….. I guess I know a little to nothing about the Rocky Mountains! I am embarrassed at my results, but I thought it might make everyone else feel very smart today!

Been to Colorado several times, and flew over them hills lots of times too. They are beautiful on a motorcycle, and from 40,000 feet. You are surrounded by the mountains.
