Can you please advise whoever devised the quiz in Saturday's programme the difference between miles and kilometres?
The last question is "to the nearest mile, how high is Mount Everest?"
The answer is given as "8.846 so 9".
Mount Everest is generally considered to be 8,850 metres (29,035 feet) high nowadays (since 1999), making it just under 5½ miles high.
So Coxy did even worse than he thought!
