Instead of this approach, we have kept the quiz more like shown below to make this strategy of quizzing harder for the challenger... What is the highest mountain in Turkey? A Mt. Elbrus B Mt. Davamond C Mt. Ararat D Mt. Bazarduzu Although it may be easy for some seasoned geographers, this question, by the choices given is harder for the most part, and will hopefully trigger more conversation/thought before answering.
