This week's winners were team Jordan/David and Emma Stewart who both guessed four out of five.

The answers were: Tree, Jewelry, No dirt it's a hole, Crazy, and 15 minutes.

Stay tuned next Monday for our next five questions...and yes...you too could be a winner!

It's true Jeff there are bushes that are that old but they aren't "continuously living" like the tree that is over 4,000 yrs old.

I googled around to make sure knowing that there are youth out there always trying to catch me with my "trivia pants" down.

This bush remains the same bush over years and years(in this 12000), as it spreads out ward. It's the same bush, it's just grossly expanding over the hundreds of years, so many infact that the center part has rotted away, hence the ring shape.

To further the point;
"There's a popular myth that redwood trees are 3,000 or 4,000 years old and bristle cone pines perhaps even older. The fact of the matter is that those trees are not as old as we have been taught to believe they are. Those trees are no older than 30 or 40 years. The bark of course is dead and the next layers that you penetrate are the living cambium layers, but as you penetrate further into the trunk that tissue is dead too. <b>The oldest <i>living</i> cells in a redwood tree or a bristle cone pine are found in the needles, and they're no older than about 30 years</b>, so that all viewers who are older than 30 years are older than the oldest redwood tree!"
-Prof. Leonard Haflick (University of California San Francisco)

This information can be applied to the bristlecone pine in which you believe was the oldest continuously living plant on earth, we can easily see that the tree is long dead.

all I have to say is I get stuck up in those trees sometimes. and then I meow!
