I believe you have mixed up the numbers for Argentina and Chile, they should be the other way around. Aconcagua is situated inside Argentina.

Just realised how can China have 9004 metres, then thought Mt Everest 8848m and the Turpan depression 156 metres below sea level.

I'm not an expert, but Wikipedia says that the 5030 metres for Indonesia is an outdated number and it should be 4884 instead. It's still enough for this quiz, but you might want to change it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puncak_Jaya

There's something up with Chile and Argentina. Argentina has both the higher mountain (Aconcagua vs. Ojos del Salado) and the lower point (Laguna del Carbón vs. sea level). Argentina's range should be 7067 metres and Chile is 6891 metres.
