What I didn't know was that Kaiser was ever used in the context of the "Holy Roman Empire". I always assumed it was a title the German Emperor's took after the unification of Germany in the 1800's (until the end of the First World War). Now I know... _________________

Credit to everyone that got it to begin with!! Not saying your source / answer is wrong. My answer was certainly wrong. (Russia isn't part of Europe in any case) Just commenting on how the name Caesar has been translated and used a lot of times. _________________

If mountains were measured from their base rather from sea level, this would be the world's tallest, since its base is on the ocean floor. Which mountain is this?***Rules- you CANNOT Google or use online sources to find the answer and I realize I have no way of stopping you, but I presume you are an honest person to not cheat and do it fairly, however....you can use family and friends. Good luck!!

Can you name the Persian poet, astronomer, and mathematician from the 11th century whose epic poem, Rubaiyat, which deals with nature and love, is well known throughout the world?***Rules- you CANNOT Google or use online sources to find the answer and I realize I have no way of stopping you, but I presume you are an honest person to not cheat and do it fairly, however....you can use family and friends.
