	They don't accept sea of japan? That's the way I've always seen it written.

	Lindsay:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 20:39 GMT	11 points
	Agree with aerodynamic - I've always seen it as Sea of Japan. Can that be made an alternate answer?

	Excellent quiz- I like the ones that I would never think to make and generally wouldn't expect. The fact that I forgot the Caribbean is idiotic, though.

	ared:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 21:11 GMT	3 points
	That one was hard. With wild guessing I got 6/10. Was surprised at some of the missing answers, though. I always thought the Caribbean was not deep at all for instance ...

	The Gulf of Mexico got me, since it was a gulf not a sea so i didn't bother to try it.

	marpocky:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 21:30 GMT	6 points
	Gulf of Mexico also got me. I tried every sea I could think of, but no gulfs or bays.

	I got 7 on my first try, which was actually really good. I usually stink my first try and then just memorize everything. For some reason I was convinced that the Caspian sea was the world's deepest sea, then all to late I remembered it was the world's biggest lake. Oops.

	I got 5. Not bad for a first try.

	bsd987:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 23:03 GMT	-1 points
	The Antarctic Ocean (a.k.a. Southern Ocean) has an average depth of 4000-5000 meters and a peak depth of more than 7000 meters. Why is this not on the list?

	PhilSandifer:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 23:24 GMT	7 points
	Burton DeWitt - Largely because not everyone agrees that the Antarctic Ocean should be counted as a separate ocean, I imagine.

	bsd987:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 23:38 GMT	-2 points
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:International_Hydrographic_Organization_countries.PNG those are the countries that agree. I'd consider that a fairly large consensus.

	jaspa:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 23:43 GMT	4 points
	I'd would have liked to see this as deepest bodies of water. That way lakes would be included.

	GRAVEY:	Nov 29th, 2008 at 01:30 GMT	-4 points
	Agreed! Was only trying seas. No gulfs. Sea of Mexico? Bah!

	SRG:	Nov 29th, 2008 at 02:10 GMT	-1 points
	I'm pretty sure the Sargasso Sea has a maximum depth of around 7000 metres?

	hbcrayons:	Nov 29th, 2008 at 04:11 GMT	-1 points
	bonus: antarctic ocean

	TheImpalerTMX:	Nov 29th, 2008 at 15:44 GMT	3 points
	SRG: My assumption is that its location (the "sea without borders") puts it under the scope of the Atlantic Ocean.

	cocky:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 19:29 GMT	-1 points
	went 4/10 but knew Car. and Med. but couldn't spell them. Feel like an idiot for not getting Gulf of Mexico since I live in Alabama.

	drhaase:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 07:06 GMT	-3 points
	is there a difference between a gulf and a sea...if so then the Gulf of Mexico should not be on here...right??? i never even thought to try it. still got 7/10 plus a bonus answer.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Feb 3rd, 2009 at 10:04 GMT	2 points
	(1) Is there a way to tell whose got the most negative points on the whole site? Wario Bro has legendary negative performances on every quiz I take. (2) Drhaase, I'd assume it's mostly semantics. All the water in the world connects; where people draw the borders and what they call the various areas seems somewhat arbitrary. (I expect someone will now provide a link to show there are very precise definitions for oceans/gulfs/seas/inlets/coves...

	why is southern ocean a bonus?.....:S

	squirrelito:	Apr 16th, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	3 points
	on my globe there's one ocean - and some clumps of land droppped in it.

	TIMTEBOW15:	Apr 17th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT	1 point
	uuugh missed mediterranean and bering

	GeoExpert:	May 19th, 2009 at 04:45 GMT	-1 points
	Got them all but surprised Hudson Bay is not involved

	Azrael:	May 25th, 2009 at 01:44 GMT	4 points
	Eastern Sea should be an alternate name for the Sea of Japan. And no, I'm not Korean.

	Denzil:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 05:33 GMT	0 points
	Hudson Bay is a shallow puddle that's why, it's just big in size.

	Scott :	Jun 11th, 2009 at 20:32 GMT	0 points
	carribbean sea and gulf of mexico should be combined, thats not fair.

	Henry:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 03:27 GMT	1 point
	why do you have to write ocean for arctic ocean but not pacific indian or atlantic

	Yurian:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 04:55 GMT	1 point
	Oh my, missed Caribbean and Japan Sea, otherwise, I was expecting much more worse, until I thought of the big oceans.

	Funguy2:	Jul 23rd, 2009 at 22:09 GMT	1 point
	I didn't think of Gulf of Mexico as a sea

	GeordieGordie:	Aug 3rd, 2009 at 15:42 GMT	1 point
	i thought bering was baring-still got 7, plus a bonus for Antarctic Ocean, which I've never heard of.

	bigalsirkp:	Aug 4th, 2009 at 20:29 GMT	1 point
	The consensus seems to be to have a similar quiz involving lakes...

	fatcat2:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 16:47 GMT	1 point
	I always, without fail, get 9/10 + the bonus, and just miss the SC sea.

	snowman888:	Sep 7th, 2009 at 03:51 GMT	1 point
	I got South China with 10 seconds left. Th bonus is sort of obvious, as it being the AUNT of the ARCTIC sea.

	briantravelman:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 03:26 GMT	1 point
	Oh thank God! You didnt put Southern Ocean! Thank you! Now I dont have to write this... There's no such thing as the Southern Ocean!
