Estimation game

Maybe Mariana Trench...

About my two bull's eyes - strange. I had heard both pieces of info at some point, but didn't consciously remember them. Thought I was just guessing.

In Hungary, I think it is/was taught that the depth of Mariana Trench is 11 034 metres. As I can see, it is a Soviet measurement in the 50s. Since we were under a Soviet oppression, I'm not surprised to know these. From my childhood up till now, I was a hundred percent sure that 11 034 metres is the exact depth of the Mariana Trench. I really want to read Usrin's point of view.

I was 80% sure that it was 11 035 metres in the world atlas in my childhood. (And gave 20% for 11 034 metres.) However, I've heard somewhere that this value was refined after newer measurements, but I haven't remember whether it 'became' more or less deep. (It's not easy to change such 'basic' values in my mind...) That's why I haven't modified my guess.

I'll keep it as it is, then. Here's the link. The part about 10.91 Km being the "official" value is at the beginning. Then under "Descents", it says 10.916 was the deepest descent achieved...

If you feel like it, I think it would be fun. It's a nice game.
