True
False
Answer explanation
Kailua-Kona on the Big Island is the perfect place to grow coffee for several reasons. The volcanic soil, gently sloping hills, light rainfall, and modest sunshine of Kona create the ideal conditions for growing coffee, and has birthed its own variety of coffee: Kona coffee, one of the most expensive in the world.

Mauna Kea is the tallest peak in the world.
True
False
Answer explanation
While Mt. Everest is generally known to be the tallest peak in the world due to its elevation (8,848 meters tall), that measurement is taken from sea level to the very top of the mountain.
When measured from sea level to peak, Mauna Kea stands at a measly 4,207 meters tall, not even half of Everest.
Mauna Kea, however, is partially submerged: the base of the mountain is actually below sea level at the sea floor. Thus, when measured from base to peak, Mauna Kea measures 10,210 meters, making it the tallest mountain in the world.

‘Iolani Palace is the only official royal residence in the U.S.
True
False
Answer explanation
The United States of America is proud of its separation from the British monarchy in 1776, which is probably why there aren’t any palaces or royal buildings built anywhere on American soil.
That is, until the U.S. annexed Hawaii, which has a long and proud history of ruling monarchs.
