    		To explain, Earth is flatter at the poles and bulging at the equator so objects on the surface nearer the equator are further from the earth's centre. Mt Chimborazo is an object very near the equator.

    On my return from time away from FunTrivia, I found myself on Level 42. So what better way to celebrate than to write a quick quiz on the band that I was into as a child. Not quick enough it seems - I was on Level 43 by the time I finished!
