    Mauna Kea in Hawaii. About 10,000 metres high measured from its base, which is underwater.

    beat me to it
    i only knew cause we worked with a hawaiian

    Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. Its peak is 4,207 m above sea level, making it the highest point in the state of Hawaii and the second-highest point above sea level of any island on Earth. Most of the mountain is under water; when measured from its oceanic base, Mauna Kea is over 10,000 m tall and is the tallest mountain on Earth. Mauna Kea is about a million years old, and has thus passed the most active shield stage of life hundreds of thousands of years ago.

    Cheers Shawswood. In which football competition can referees use a blue card, and tambourines and percussion instruments are banned for spectators ?

    Nothing right yet. The competition was the brainchild of Jim Mulligan. The first winners were English, but the most successfull teams have been made up of Brazilians and Mexicans.

    Time for a few clues. The competition is played on grass, and always at the same venue. The first winners were English, the Brazilians and Mexicans have done well, and it is currently held by an American team. There are always quite a few Swiss players active in it. Some of the players once worked with Giovanni Trappatoni.

    Sorry Beth, not prison football. From all of those taking part in this the Swiss players are most likely to have their families watching !
