General Knowledge!

[swant]

hehe, viva an english teacher who was all over it and made me do a story about it as a punishment for getting a bad grade XD
Senlac Hill in England, i still dislike that teacher verry much though....

Battle

Senlac Hill

Oh, which answer to choose! I'm going to have to go with Swant's Senlac Hill, as that was where it was fought - the town of Battle sprung up, obviously, afterwards. Yes, the Battle of Hastings was fought over 5 miles from Hastings, just to confuse you. Go Swant!

I'm pretty sure that makes me right with England.

[swant]

wahoo, hehe, i like my knowledge

ok, hmm, a new question

What type of tree is the oldest tree in the world?

[Marty]

Do you mean what general order of tree (e.g. Deciduous), what particular species of tree (e.g. olive) or what very particular tree?

If it's the former, I'd have to go with ferny-palmy type trees, which were I believe, around 400million years ago-ish. Species - I'd go for, er...Olive trees. There are olive trees in Arabia that are more than 2000 years old, and that's the oldest I can think of. And if you're thinking particular tree you're nuts 'cos no-one knows.

I was always told they were the pine trees in California.  There is one particular one always mentioned, but I'm not sure if that's the oldest of those pines.

[swant]

heh, i mean a particular species of tree (e.g. Pine, Olive, spruce, walnut etc.)

and nope, both are close yet are not the oldest

[Drift]

my first thought was of a petrified tree.
I'm going to say oak trees.

[BFM_Edison]

Concerning this question, I'm reading that there are also differences in consideration for the oldest based on whether it's a singular tree or clonal, which are multiple trees connected by a common root system. I'm betting, though, that you're referring to the clonal type for a couple of reasons.

Oak?   Olive?

i mean the oldest living individual clonal tree and then the particular specie

[Marty]

Anyone?

Monkey Puzzle?

[swant]

noo, and to give a hint, i posted the tree earlier....

[BFM_Kiwi]

Olive and pine were already guessed, leaving spruce and walnut.

I'd say spruce then.
