New game for the forum.

The answer to a question will be posted and the PH hoard have to find out what the original question was.

Who ever gets the question right gets to post the next answer.

For instance:

A = 8ft 5 inches

Then hopefully someone would come up with...

Q = Current world's tallest man

Now, with the age of Google, it will be relatively easy to find the answers but I have a feeling, given the intellect on the forum, that there will be some real posers.

Please try and ask a question that has a definitive answer for the sake of arguement - if the answer posted is 'Max Mosely', then I can imagine quite a few 'questions'...

So, I'll start with an easy one;

A = Bouvet Island

I know it as the longest word in the dictionary, and for "the act of estimating worthless".

Much like some car salesmen I've known. And no, I didnt look it up.
