	There are a number of mistakes in this quiz. Apennines should be an accepted answer. Also Britain should be accepted instead of Great Britain. Other than that good game...

	@vonForster - the name on the quiz is EUROPE...last time I checked neither Saudi Arabia nor Lake Superior were in Europe.

	"Ooo geography grab b- wait, isn't that? That's my quiz!" Totally caught me off guard, cool. @jonesjeffum Apennines is an accepted answer, but Britain isn't and I suppose it probably should be an alternative answer as well (It is on the largest islands quiz). I hope that's all you meant when you said mistakes, though. Just so anyone who likes this quiz knows, I'm doing these for all the continents and currently have two more up on Oceania and Africa.

	You may also want to accept Monte Bianco for Mont Blanc, considering neither is in English.

	@sonreal, where on earth did you get that ridiculous notion that Irelend = Lesser Britain? How very offensive to the Irish. If anything is Lesser Britain it is Brittanny in France - certainly not Ireland.

	Can you accept 'Ladoga' without the 'Lake' please?

	The name is officially "The united kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", Great Britain being England, Scotland and Wales, Northern Ireland being a separate entity. If you're going to start using the term "lesser Britain" get your facts right, that title refers to Brittany which is part of France, as bumfish stated. @brezhnev. As far as I can tell, the only people who call it Monte Bianco are the Italians. The confusion about the olympics is the creator didn't specify summer of winter games. Perhaps that can be sorted in the wording?

	You could give bonus answers for other capitals that the Danube runs through.

	that was really good! i really need to brush up on my seas/lakes/rivers/mountains knowledge

	Enjoyed that, looking forward to the ones on other continents

	Good quiz. Couldn't understand why Athens wasn't being accepted for last European city to host the olympics, until I thought of the Winter version. Which didn't help me at all, as I couldn't remember where the Winter Olympics before Vancouver was hosted.

	very enjoyable quiz! definitely some stuff i didn't know, and some stuff that was on the very edges of my brain. it's always enjoyable to pick those out. i wondered about elbrus/mont blanc too. seemed a little arbitrary to restrict it to EU, but i guess at least you avoid any ambiguity about whether elbrus is in europe.

	@whirlwindmarky depends on wether or not you regard the Kuma–Manych Depression as the border between Europe and Asia as many do, however you did mention that the author put in "in EU", so i guess you just want to flaunt your amount of useless knowledge, so i guess you didn't really comment on the quiz at all

	'Tyrrhenian' is hard to spell. I would have otherwise got that...

	Catholicism is a denomination, not a religion.

	@Phreak: Vancouver isn't in Europe, and Turin did host the Winter Olympics.

	I'm not sure where you got your GNI data from (having a link to a film doesn't help) but Luxembourg's per capita GNI of around $74,000 is not the highest in Europe. Liechtenstein's GNI per capita is listed by the World Bank at $113,000; Monaco's GNI per capita is listed by the UN at $211,000. Unofficially, the Vatican City has the highest per capita GNI in the world of about $400,000.
