You have the Ob-Irtysh system drawn on your map, not the Yenisey.

I hit a couple bonuses while working on the rivers. Perhaps you should remove those. You can't see all the answer blocks and the picture at the same time. I'd hit a bonus, think I'd gotten the correct answer and start working on the next river. It took me a little bit to realize I was still on the same answer block.

Seems a bit odd to make us answer in order?

I could have sworn Lake Baikal was in the top 5.

@kromclovinfasho, it's the deepest lake, the largest fresh water lake in terms of volume, but the 6th overall in terms of area.

Am I the only person that has a problem with the fictional lake "Michigan-Huron"?

@almasa: I'm with you. However, apparently Michigan and Huron are at the same elevation and connected by a strait (also at the same elevation) instead of a river and, therefore, one lake. But, still, one can find dozens of references that keep them separate, with Superior the world's second largest lake and Huron and Michigan at #4 and #5.

Michigan-Huron is really one lake. The Mackinac straights are five miles wide and a lot of the "land" that separates the two are just islands.
