What solutions are there to clean up trash on mount Everest?
One solution is to limit the number of climbers that visit each year. For every climber that goes up, they leave 5-10 empty bottles of oxygen, wrappers from premade food and drink containers, discarded tents, human waste and over 280 dead bodies. The Nepalese will probably not do this as they make $35,000 to $50,000 USD for each climber that tries to climb the mountain.

What was Mount Everest named after?
George Everest's student, Andrew Waugh, had surveyed and mapped Everest. When he had done so, there were several names by multiple cultures at the time. Some of these names include, but are not limited to Qomolangma, Zhumulangma, Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng, and Sagarmāthā. In order to simplify things, Waugh, as the surveyor and mapper of the mountain, decided to give the mountain an official name. In order to better understand Waugh's thoughts, this excerpt was taken from
"Papers relating to the Himalaya and Mount Everest", Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society of London, no.IX pp.345-351, April-May 1857.
"I was taught by my respected chief and predecessor, Colonel Sir George Everest to assign to every geographical object its true local or native appellation. But here is a mountain, most probably the highest in the world, without any local name that we can discover, whose native appellation, if it has any, will not very likely be ascertained before we are allowed to penetrate into Nepal. In the meantime the privilege as well as the duty devolves on me to assign...a name whereby it may be known among citizens and geographers and become a household word among civilized nations."
Because Waugh could not determine what to do, he insisted that Everest be named after his mentor. George Everest did not agree with this adoption, but regardless of his opposition the Royal Geographical Society adopted the proposed name (proposed in 1857 by Andrew Waugh) in 1865. Oddly enough, the actual pronunciation of the mountain does not match that of George Everest's last name. George Everest's last name is actually pronounced Eve-rest opposed to the mountain's pronunciation of Everest. Nonetheless, the accustomed name has a long history as previously described.

Why is it hard to boil an egg on top of mount Everest?
In Charlottesville, an egg left in boiling water for 10 minutes becomes a firm, "hard boiled" egg. On the top of Mount Everest, with a height of 29,029 feet, an egg left in boiling water remains soft indefinitely. The egg fails to cook on Mount Everest because
(A) water boils at low temperature when the air pressure is very low.
(B) water boils at low temperature when gravity is weak.
(C) water has poor thermal conductivity when its pressure is very low.
(D) an egg cannot get very hot when gravity is weak.

What is the mass of Mount Everest?
If we take a cone as a simplified shape of Everest, then we can use the following
formula to calculate its volume:
V = 1/3*pi*R^2*H
Here: http://www.the-aps.org/publications/tphys/legacy/1982/issue1/36.pdf - you can find a picture with the height and base of the Everest (from which we can get the radius):
H = 8848 m
R = 16093 m
then:
V = 2398.5 cubic km
mass is calculated from density of the rock and volume. Everest mainly consists of
limestone (~2.6 kg/cubic m) with layers of dolomite (~2.85 kg/cubic m).
Then
m = p*V = 2.7 (kg/cub. m)* 2398.5 (cub. km) = 6.5 *10^12 kg
If you want know the weight P, then
P = m*g - where the vector-g is the g-force.
