Sorry guys...I wanted to edit my other one but I couldn't, so...

Riddle

If Mount Everest is the tallest mountain currently. Before Mount Everest was discovered mount Kangchenjunga was the tallest recorded mountain in the world standing at an impressive 8585.9112 meters tall. How tall was the tallest mountain in the world from base to peak before Mount kangchenjunga was discovered, and how much taller is it than the second tallest recorded mountain currently?

Your answer should be two numbers, one answering the first question, the other answer the second question.

huh. after editing, the question looks just the same, and it's still garbled.
