Who were the first climbers to summit the 4th highest mountain in the world, Khumbu Lhotse?
How tall is the mountain... in centimeters?

I never expected someone would get it on the first go around... Way to go Beyond Gravity!!! I really figured the centermeter thing would throw some people off being as simple of a question as it is. Great job.

Ok, you engineers! Back in the day at WSU, we often used a measurement known as a "hogan." A hogan is defined as a cubic mouthful, and has many applications.
How many hogans of snow are on 1 cubic meter of Lhotse? Is this the same amount as on Denali, or Vinson Massif? Do these quantities even approach Minneapolis in the winter???
