	Should take Mount Vinson or just Vinson for Antarctica, really.

	pick 1 of 2 A) geographic continents, in which case Kozsciusko should be the highest peak for Australia B) geological continents, in which case Europe and Asia are counted as Eurasia and Elbrus should not be on the list

	Elbrus is in Europe. Europe includes the Caucasus and extends east to the Urals. Only got 5. :(

	7/7, Carstensz Pyramid is indeed harder to spell than Aconcagua.

	bismark76, Indonesia is considered a bicontinental country and the whole New Guinea belongs to Oceania

	GeoExpert:	May 18th, 2009 at 23:48 GMT	5 points
	Oceania should be Kosciusko. That pyramid is part of Indonesia: Asia. Basically every map you look at, the island of New Guinea is split among continents with the Indonesian side being Asian and the Papua side being Oceania. You don't see that with Russia, Egypt, or Turkey. Each of those countries are recognized as being in two continents. If someone would climb the seven summits, they would climb Kosciusko not Chartenz Pyramid

	@GeoExpert: While the Bass list includes Kosciuszko, the Messner list includes Carstensz Pyramid (Puncak Jaya) and both are considered valid. Let's have a Seven Second Summits quiz now!

	If Papua New Guinea is in Oceania, then Mount Wilhelm (4509m) should be the biggest peak in Oceania. Kosciusko is only 2228m. I, personally, agree with Carstensz Pyramid. I say that because to me Indonesia spans two continents (Asia and Oceania). It seems silly to me to base the division of geographical continents on political boundaries.

	Missed Vinson Massif. Fun Quiz.

	How about an eight-thousander quiz?

	Completely stuck on Oceania, I thought it was Mt Cook.

	Good quiz. My inability to spell Aconcagua means that I only managed a paltry 3/7. At least I learned something, there are 2 c's in Aconcagua!

	wah! why is it that vinson and Carstensz is not accepted instead of vinson massif and Carstensz Pyramid? huhuhu/..... well anyways..... that was a great quiz....

	No mountaineer seriously considers Mount Kosciuszko one of the seven summits, primarily because Carstenz Pyramid (or even Puncak Jaya) is so much easier to spell. Having said that, I do somewhat resent the fact that Kosciuszko isn't included, as it's the only one I've climbed--though "climbed" might be overstating the (mainly fly-related) dangers I faced on a very pleasant stroll!
