    Default Mount Everest is NOT the highest mountain!

    Proof!

    I never even knew the Earth wasn't a perfect sphere.

    Everest still stands higher above sea level which is the qualifying factor.

    Yep. Depends on the meaning of the word "high". For most of us, the distance from the centre of the Earth is meaningless as we cannot see that, where as the height above sea level has more meaning to us, I guess. Plus, there is more of Everest to climb than of the other mountains.

    I wish I had you as my geography teacher, things would have made much more sense.
