	In this quiz, you start in Whitehorse, the largest city on one of the 25 longest rivers as described here: http://www.sporcle.com/games/longestrivers.php. From there you'll go to the closest largest city on a different major river, and repeat that process until you reach all 25 rivers. There are some rivers that were difficult to find cities on, so if there's any inaccuracies please tell me.

	Maybe accept Ob for Ob-Irtysh and Murray for Murray-Darling? It's up to you though. There's plenty of debate on the subject in the comments to the quiz you use as your source. Also, I'm not sure Adelaide's on the Murray. Looking at Google maps, it looks like it's maybe 70 km west of the river.

	You're right about Adelaide, that's been changed. I think I'll just stick to what my source accepts, and it doesn't take Ob or Murray.

	The Irtysh River simply does not flow through Novosibirsk at all. Novosibirsk is located on the Ob far above where the Ob meets the Irtysh. Ob-Irtysh is actively incorrect in this case. Ob is the only correct answer.

	You need to just accept Ob, and there's not reason to make this a forced answer in order quiz. Instead it's just frustrating to the quiztaker, because the answers don't get progressively harder. The easiest answers are halfway into the quiz.

	Alright, I've added Ob and Murray as accepted answers. The reason: I looked at the quiz I used for a source, and there seemed to be almost an almost unanimous feeling that those answers should be acceptable. I will however keep Ob-Irtysh and Murray-Darling as primary answers as those rivers might not be in the top 25 otherwise.
