	Wow, I forgot the Red Sea. I'm an idiot.

	Good idea for a quiz - but would be better if it clarified which bodies of water we're supposed to name

	I expected many more possibilities here...Dead Sea, Suez Canal, Sea of Marmara, Bosphorus River, Kinneret, Tigris, Euphrates...

	I'm amazed how few people can name the Persian Gulf - what do they think the Gulf War was named after?

	There's no such thing as the Arabian gulf. http://unstats.un.org/unsd/geoinfo/gegn23wp61.pdf please correct the answer for the Persian Gulf.

	"gulf of aden" was not correct for me, neither were "aden" or "aden gulf" please check the coding

	This quiz could be expanded by adding lakes, such as Lake Urmia. Also the Nile, Tigris, and Euphrates rivers. Dead sea. And 'maybe' the Suez Canal.

	I missed the Gulf of Oman. And, looking at the statistics, I'm not alone...

	it is not clear what bodies of water have to be named...for example because of the spacing between 'Red Sea' and Mediterranean I tried other bodies of water such as the Gulf of Aqaba...

	There is a line between the Gulf of Aden and the Gulf of Arabia, and between the Gulf of Arabia and the Gulf of Oman. But, there isn't a line between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, nor a line between the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. I missed the gulf of Oman because I thought this was meant to be one body of water. Also the answer for PErsian Gulf obscures the Strait of Homuz further confusing that the Gulf of Oman is different. The graphic needs work.
