It's Continental

Trivia Question for the day:

You have a 1 in 7 chance of getting it right.

Which is the highest of the seven continents?

ANSWER: Antarctica, Because of the thick ice cover, it has the highest average elevation of all the continents. (I actually think that is a little unfair since they didn't clarify the question by asking Which is the highest average in elevation of the seven continents, but I don't work for Page a Day company).

My guess would be Asia because of Mt. Everest. But I am not sure.

I would guess Africa, because it's closer to the equator, but my second guess would be Asia, which includes LOTS of mountains - Nepal, Tibet, etc

I'm going with the crowd and guessing Asia

I say Asia, too--the Himilayas skim the hem of the heavens, don't they?
