    Hi Ranjuz - I know Wikipedia says Vostok is the coldest place on Earth. I read in another GK forum that Verkoyansk is the coldest place. But there was an argument that Verkoyansk has the greatest temperature differences between Summer and Winter on Earth. I am still trying to locate the other website.

    The raw material for making glass is Quarz Sandstone.
    Which is the lowest mountain range in the World?

    The main ingredients for making glass are quartz sand/silica, limestone and soda ash.

    Mount Wycheproof, Australia is the lowest mountain. But there is an argument if it is a hill or mountain.

    Which place is known as 'roof of the world'?

    Jacob Christian Schaffer published a design for a washing machine in 1767.
    In 1791, scrub boards were invented.
    James King is considered by some to be the official inventor of the washing machine. He invented the drum washing machine in 1851. The drum washing machine he invented is very similar to modern machines. It used a hand powered spinner to agitate the water, removing the dirt from the clothes.
    Hamilton Smith patented the first rotary washing machine in 1858.
    In 1874, William Blackstone came home with a great birthday present for his wife- a washing machine that washed dirt from clothes and then washed it away. This was the first machine designed for convenient use in the home.
    Alva J. Fisher invented the very first electric-powered washing machine
