	Um, USA is the most western country on the continent, by far. You forgetting Alaska? And you mean President of the U.S., not President of America. And you mean metropolitan area, not city (Houston is bigger than Dallas). And you need to accept Philadelphia for Delaware Valley. This quiz needs a lot of fixing up.

	Canada is the most eastern (Newfoundland has the most easterly point in North America)

	The black on blue text is seriously hard to read. I think Caribbean popped up when I typed something completely different. Barack Obama does not have an apostrophe in his name. (I know it's hard to believe, but the man is not Irish. Really.) Hollywood is Los Angeles. By its point, not it's. You misspelled Capital. It's silly to specify that the bordering oceans are listed alphabetically, since you're not asking us to answer in order. "Famous continent splitting canal country" doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially since the answer is the name of the canal.

	Panama is south of Costa Rica 'a' triggers Caribbean 'sa' should not trigger south america The cities should not be included beyond fourth or fifth. Delaware Valley is an area that spans four states, it's is not a city. The Pres of USA and CapitAl of Jamaica are odd and should not be included.

	If you ask for President of USA, why not ask for President of Mexico or Prime Minister of Canada? Why capital of Jamaica? Do you know teh difference between Capital and Capitol? Capital city, capitol building, also, The Westernmost point in North America is USA, Attu Island which is actually West of the International Date Line, andCanada has the easternmost point,where the Vikings landed, I forget the name on top of my head, Delaware Valley is a region that spans, Pennsylvania, new Jersey, delaware and some say Maryland. How is Miami and Washington the 10thand 8th largest cities in north America? Where are Santo Domingo and Havana? PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!

	While some hydrologists consider Lake Michigan and Lake Huron to be a single lake, they are normally treated as separate lakes, and have historically been considered separate. Even when they are taken as one lake, they are largest only by surface area. Lake Superior is larger by volume (third largest in the world, after Lake Baikal and Lake Tanganyika). Denali should be an alternate answer for Mount McKinley.

	Please accept Denali for McKinley...it's pretty much ubiquitous in the geography world. Also, Alaska is the most western country, as the Aleutian islands span across the International Date Line, therefore, making USA the western & eastern most points of North America. And I don't know how you set this up, but the start of words are answers to full locations elsewhere in the quiz. Nit-picky on the largest lake--if you're going to combine lakes, then the Mississippi-Missouri River is oftentimes combined as a single river. And I think Washington D.C. is officially a district, not a city. Not your best effort.

	ah the old delaware valley

	Why is Mexico acceptable for the US (most western country)? These colours are horrible, I cant see the answers. No way in hell are these largest cities correct. 1. Mexico City 2. NY 3. LA 4. Chicago 5. Toronto 6. Houston 7. Philadelphia 8. Phoenix 9. San Antonio 10. San Diego (Miami is the 46th largest city, D.C. is the 26th). Hollywood is not its own city, it is a district in LA. The longest river in North America is the Missouri River, not the Mississippi. You need to actually research these things before you create a quiz, do not just go by instinct.
