	AWESOME idea Sporcle!

	Great quiz. Love the geography quizzes. And since I only got 6 (and wouldn't have gotten more than a dozen even if I hadn't spaced out), I'm going to learn something from this one. Yay knowledge!

	This was a lot harder than expected! Many of these ranges I have not heard of before. I've played some quizzes right when they've been released, but never have I seen so many answers at 0% guessed right, haha. Also, currently, 0% have gotten more than 17 answered correctly. Stats don't lie! This is a tough quiz.

	Difficult! The world map probably distorts it - there's a bunch of ranges in Europe and Southwest Asia I could have named that weren't on there, and then who knows mountain ranges in the Russian Far East?

	Great quiz idea, no way was I gonna get those Siberian ranges and for a second I thought one said Greater Klingon Range, lol

	I haven't even taken the quiz. I just need to comment how FANTASTIC the description on the front page is. Does Prince Humperdinck work for Sporcle?

	LOL to the caption for the quiz!!!!! I also have not taken the quiz, but I felt I had to lest the six-fingered man kill my father!

	very tough!! had no idea that the Rockies were divided up like that. Only scored 7, coulda had 10 if i could spell though!

	jzev:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 11:21 GMT		4 points
	oh rats. there are two sierra madres

	Havok3595:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 11:23 GMT		2 points
	@fatfifer: The Rockies aren't divided, the Cascades and Coast ranges are separate, west of the Rockies. I just took a Geography of US + Canada and Geography of Asia (not including Russia) class, so I got a whopping 14. Apparently, they were more important in US/Canada since Kunlun's the only non-Himalaya Asia one I remembered (but should have remembered the Ghats).

	I got 4 and missed two really obvious ones. I thought those 6 would be the most guessed- but I was surprised. I'm actually really surprised how far down the Apennines are- in the UK we have the Pennines which is named after the Italian Apennines, so it's pretty easy to remember for British people are least. I guess it's a lot more obscure to the majority of North Americans taking the quiz though. Now I'm gonna go hide in shame for forgetting the Himalayas and the Andes >.

	I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.

	I just feel geographically stupid

	vgiordano:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 13:41 GMT		1 point
	the spelling here is tough

	Tapestry:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 13:42 GMT		0 points
	got 6 luckily a lot were in my area, and one I couldn't spell!

	This game taught me something. I taught how little I know about mountains.

	Linz:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 14:46 GMT		1 point
	tough quiz, I kept trying sierra madre, but didn't know that there were two of them. Also tried Adirondacks and Ozarks and Black Hills, but I guess they are part of other ranges.

	The layout of the world map confused me for a while. I was typing 'Andes' and wondered why it wouldn't show up. Then I realised I was looking at Africa.

	I got about a dozen before looking. You can guess some by writing down the place name. Very hard quiz. Reveals the limitations of my knowledge of asian geography. Didn't know about the 2 madres It took another 8-10 tries to memorize them all.

	Why does it accept Ethiopian by itself but not Brazilian?

	Dani:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:00 GMT		-1 points
	10/42. I'm disappointed in myself

	cressida:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:21 GMT		-3 points
	oh dear... 8/42 :( appauled by my lack of mountain knowledge.

	emmhon:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT		-2 points
	17/42 - not bad but annoyed by a couple that I missed!

	Detective:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:49 GMT		-4 points
	Forgot the Alps, I'm a champ. Still got 11/42.

	It'd be nice if "sertao" was possible for the Brazilian Highlands.

	jme:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 03:26 GMT		0 points
	And how about "Bismarck Range" for New Guinea? Granted, that isn't the whole thing but I think we need all the help we can get.

	McClone08:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 04:30 GMT		3 points
	what about the brooks range? it's by alaska

	davidr:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 13:57 GMT		2 points
	@Andy B.: And why does it accept `himalaya' for the Himalayas but not `apennine' for the Apennines?

	Juan:	Apr 30th, 2009 at 17:24 GMT		3 points
	This is one of those "how the **** did i miss that one" quizzes.
