What limestone rock form the Pillar of Hercules?

What limestone rock, part of a British colonial outpost, did ancient Greeks and Romans consider a pillar of Hercules and the edge of the known world?

The Rock of Gibraltar is the answer.

If you know which regiment has the apes of Gibraltar as their mascot, claim a bonus point.

I have spent 457 hours 13 minutes playing on the Rocksmith games, in this session I played for 96 minutes.

I am learning 263 songs through the game, with 107 on the bass, 29 on rhythm guitar, and 127 on lead guitar (some I'm learning on all three).

It has been 190 days since I played all the song arrangements, and it would take around 899 hours to play them in one session. I don't think that is going to be likely!

Recently Played

These are the songs I have practiced recently.

All songs played

This is the full list of songs that I have played on the two versions of the Rocksmith game.
The two versions of the game have different methods of calculating the scores. The original version just had the score, streak and percentage. In Rocksmith 2014 the score was dropped from the main results, and a mastery and an overall result was added.

The overall result can be over 100%, this occurs when a song is played in master mode. In Master mode, the game hides the notes you are expected to play, and you earn extra points for playing them correctly. When you manage to successfully play the song in master mode, you have learned the song and should be able to play the song alongside a band or backing track. Although playing alongside a band needs a lot of rehearsal time to sound good.
