Good point, I was thinking more from a mountain climber's perspective. I changed it to a geography quiz.

You appear to have mistaken highest for tallest. The tallest mountain is Mauna Kea. I'll admit I had to look the name up but I knew it was in Hawaii.

Perhaps allow "Xixabangma" for "Shishapangma"? This is what I am accustomed to, and unlike other alternate spellings, these two seem to be used pretty equally.

Kanchenjunga is the more widely known name (without that first g).

This is completely wrong! The two highest mountains on earth are Mauna Kea and then Mauna Loa. Everest is the highest on LAND, but Mauna Kea is nearly a mile higher than Everest. May want to change that.

Everest is the 'highest' mountain, meaning greatest altitude above sea level. Manua Kea is the 'tallest', meaning from its base (below sea level) to its summit. By the way, would be nice to take alternate (original) names for Everest like Chomolungma (Tibetan) and Sagarmatha (Nepalese).
