There is a grand prize of 0.005 STEEM for the winner and three 0.001 STEEM runner up prizes.

The winner is the first correct answer. After 7 days the runners up will be randomly selected. I will use a random number generator and assign numbers to all correct answers and the three chosen will win (It's a small prize but mainly just for fun). After 7 days I post an answer/identify the correct answer and pay out the rewards.

Please optionally upvote if you like this post or give an answer, have fun!

Mount Everest itself

It was highest and will be highest 😰

@pandasquad
Mt Everest

It’s Mount Everest itself!

Is it a trick question? Before it was discovered, it still existed and therefore was still the highest mountain in the world. :)

Perfect riddle. Keep it up

It doesn't need to be discovered to be the highest mountain, So the answer remains Mount Everest.
