Q: Mount Elbert is the highest peak in what north american mountain range?

A: Canada!

🤣

[Cloverjo]

I'm guessing the person heard "Mount Elbert", thought "I don't know that" then heard "North America" so blurted out "Canada". 
Not too silly really. Better than passing, I always think.

Were they looking for The Rockies or specifically the Sawatch Range within the Rockies?

[ToraToraTora]

It's the rockies but as usual that's not the point woth these. It ain't Canada is it?

[jourdain2]

Well that bit of the sub-continent is all known asNorth Americaisn't it?  I may be wrong, of course.

[ToraToraTora]

yeah but how long has Canada been a mountain?

[Cloverjo]

Well, no, TTT. He didn't say something daft like India or Australia.

 

[ToraToraTora]

you mean Canada is not daft enough? It was asking about a mountain, note the words in the question.

[ToraToraTora]

I think my super power is kicking in again!

[Cloverjo]

As I said before, I'm guessing the contestant heard North America and blurted out a North American country. 
 

I know these things are meant to amuse, and I do enjoy the really daft ones you post, but you do get involved in arguments here about them :)

Rule 1 listen to the question.
