Why is the country’s name spelled “Cameroun” instead of Cameroon? I guess the French version of the name is what Schulz remembered from his own school days… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Cameroon#/media/File:Cameroon_boundary_changes.PNG

The third question is actually hard to answer, because it doesn’t mention which pyramids. I am pretty sure the question means the Egyptian pyramids (which would be the Cheops pyramid, according to google), but the largest pyramid in the world (that is also scientifically recognized as a pyramid) is actually the Cholula pyramid in Mexico (again, according to google). If we include formations where people claim they are pyramids, but that aren’t scientifically recognized as pyramids (mainly because they probably aren’t, but instead are natural formations), the largest pyramid in the world would be Visocica mountain in Bosnia.
