Something along the lines of how on the back of boxes of frozen foods, such as digorno's pizzas, they have a specail instruction for people at higher altitudes

http://newton.ex.ac.uk/teaching/CDHW/egg/\n\nRead the section about "Boiling Eggs on a Mountain." The simple answer is that since the boiling temperature of water drops, you have to cook the egg longer (since the temperature is lower).

One of the best ways I've heard of was asking an applicant to pick up and carry a 60 lb. bag of something to another room. And if their response was they would need help, then they were at least aware enough of their own limitations and honest enough to say so that they were less likely to injure themselves on the job.

Near outer space is at least 110 km above ground.

They show the people with the highest points, in descending order.  No, not everyone is on it, only those who are way up there in points, :-).

It is an extremity and requires blood to maintain the proper body temperature. Extra blood  going there to increase the temperature makes them hard

Going to the mountains (higher Altitude) would lead to respiratory ALKALOSIS.  The reason for this is that there is less oxygen at higher altitudes and the oxygen hunger would lead to hyperventilation thus decreasing the co2 which raises the ph making the blood alkalotic

Food in, food out.\n\nI mean, I HOPE that's what they figured out.\n\nUnless they thought it was a "gift from the gods" (some gift, huh?) LOL

A small piece of fruit or high fiber snack.

It is not too hard to understand.  Winter is coming in Canada and they had to do something to look good to avoid being sent back to canada when the snow flies.

Nothing.  It's just a nice round number for people to use.  There are a reasonable number (54) of mountains higher than 14,000 but none 15 or higher.  So, that gives people a nice achievable goal with good heights above the treeline.

The higher, more rugged the mountains the fewer people live in them.  Concentrations of high mountains are inverse to the concentaion of people.

It all has to do with altitude. The higher you are from the earth, the colder it gets. Air is also thinner.

Well, when you eat only certain foods or live in a certain climate or at a certain elevation, your body DOES adapt to a certain extent.  Your body is remarkably good at getting what it needs from whatever it can get.  That doesn't mean you shouldn't still try to eat a balanced diet, but if, for example, you're not getting enough of a certain vitamin your body will get every drop of that vitamin that it can out of everything you eat.  Certainly you can still end up with vitamin deficiencies, etc., but within limits your body will adjust its digestive processes to get the right nutrients out of whatever food it's getting.\n\nYour body does the same thing with cold.  Have you ever noticed that when it's the middle of winter and it's been below freezing for the past month, and then it's hits 50˚F and you want to start wearing shorts, whereas if it's been 80 for the past month, when it hits 50 you're freezing?  Well, your body gets used to the cold.  If you've lived in a cold climate longer, the change is more dramatic.  Like at my school, you can always separate Californians from East Costers because we Californians get out our winter coats while kids from the East where they actually have winters are still in shorts.\n\nThe same thing happens if you live in a higher elevation, where there's less air pressure.  If I, having grown up close to sea level, wanted to climb Mount Everest, I'd spend weeks at the base (which is already really high up) getting acclimated to the lower pressure, and then when I did go up, I'd need supplemental oxygen after a certain elevation.  But people who've lived part way up the mountain their whole lives can climb up without supplemental oxygen, because their bodies have adjusted so well to the lower pressure.

KATMANDU, Nepal\n\nSherpas and Mountaineering\n\nSherpas were of immeasurable value to early explorers of the Himalayan region, serving as guides and porters at the extreme altitudes of the peaks and passes in the region. Today, the term has been extended to apply to almost any guide or porter hired for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas. However, in Nepal Sherpas often insist on making a distinction between themselves and general porters, as they often serve in a more guide-like role and command higher pay and respect from the community. (Often the generic term "sherpa" meaning guide is written uncapitalized, in contrast with the capitalized "Sherpa" meaning the ethnic group.)\n\nSherpas are renowned in the global climbing and mountaineering community for their hardiness, expertise, and experience at high altitudes. Despite the value of their services, the pay is insubstantial to the point where many cannot afford the modern climbing gear that Western climbers use. Many have speculated that a portion of Sherpas' climbing ability may be due to a genetically greater lung capacity, allowing much better performance at high altitudes. It has also been suggested that one reason why they were widely used as porters is that they had fewer dietary prohibitions than most people of the region and were prepared to eat whatever was given to them on expeditions.\n\nHistorically, the most famous Sherpa is Tenzing Norgay, who climbed Mount Everest with Edmund Hillary for the first time in 1953.\n\nTwo Sherpas, Pemba Dorjie and Lhakpa Gelu, have recently competed as to who can climb Everest quicker. On May 23rd 2003 Dorji summitted in 12 hours and 46 minutes. Three days later Gelu beat his record by two hours, summitting in 10 hours 46 minutes. On May 21st 2004 Dorjie again improved the record by more than two hours with a total time of 8 hours and 10 minutes. This feat may be considered one of the greatest in mountaineering.
