It's India!

You'll likely know that China is the most populated country in the world, but what is #2?

[8,611m](https://www.worlddata.info/highest-mountains.php) tall! Everest is 8,848m.

I'm sure you're aware that the tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest, but what is the second tallest?

It's [632m](https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/buildings) (2,073ft) tall! A fair amount off the 828m (2,717ft) height of the Burj Khalifa though.

It's the Shanghai Tower!

Let's stay with height – you know the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, right? What's next in line?

With the first one opening in 1990, the number has risen to [3,500](https://www.atlasbig.com/en-gb/countries-by-mcdonalds-restaurants) McDonald's! They're still a massive 10,000 off the USA, however.

It's Tyson Gay AND Yohan Blake!

We all know that Usain Bolt has the fastest 100m time of all time, but who ran the second fastest time?

He was in office from [1797-1801](https://www.britannica.com/place/United-States/Presidents-of-the-United-States), and was followed by Jefferson.

It was John Adams!

That's right, Kylie comes in at [365m](https://www.instagram.com/kyliejenner/?hl=en) followers, a fair amount behind Ronaldo's [474m](https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/?hl=en)!

It's [Kylie](https://www.statista.com/statistics/421169/most-followers-instagram/)!

Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram in 2022. Can you guess who has the next most followers?

So you didn't do too well, who cares? Maybe you're just a fan of the best, and who can blame you?

Not bad at all! Not everyone thinks about 'the rest', but coming second is something to be proud of.

Shawn Wayans as "Ray" saying "Second Best" in "Scary Movie"

Wow. You clearly don't just look at the best, you keep an eye on the rest! Ironically, you'd probs finish 1st in this quiz though.
