The "biggest" criterion used for elements is (to say the least) difficult to figure out without further instructions. Same for the Beatles, though with just 4 options to choose from it hardly matters.

Agree with AlexRandom. Biggest Element? Biggest Beatle? What does that mean? Even the biggest empire is debatable, as many would say the highest population in the empire is more important than land mass. Also, you've got the biggest lake wrong- the Caspian sea is the biggest lake in the world.

As I said in the note, "big" is a measure of volume, area, or length, so for elements it seems pretty clear that atomic radius (rather than mass) is the criterion. Likewise with empires.

How do we measure the biggest Beatle by what you described? By height? Weight? Number of fans? As AlexRandom said, sure there's only four but it's still a strange inclusion. You must be a huge fan :)

Beatles was added as kind of a joke. But by height, weight, or volume, Ringo is pretty clearly the smallest.

Dividing elephant into Asian and African - nitpicking, combine and let in the rhino. Length would also make the Irish wolfhound the largest dog. Rheas are about the same size as cassowaries.
