	Please accept Baikal for Deepest Lake.

	Togtdyalttai:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 05:16 GMT	18 points
	Do you have a source? Especially for Shanghai, which is probably the only controversial one on here.

	ikspuls:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 05:29 GMT	10 points
	isn't Russia in Europe?

	eaglesmania:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 05:30 GMT	-4 points
	I'm pretty sure the most populated city is Tokyo buddy. Also, the smallest continent is Oceania. Australia is a country on the continental plate of Oceania. Also, check and make sure Antarctica isn't smaller; it might be.

	penguinflying:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 07:23 GMT	7 points
	No need to get all condescending here eaglesmania. I learned to call Australia a continent; by the geographical definition most of us go by ("one of the seven main landmasses" or some such) it is a continent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_%28continent%29 There is no such thing as the "continental plate of Oceania"; the plate on which Australia rests is called the Australian Plate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Plates_tect2_en.svg

	oldkent:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 08:20 GMT	1 point
	I also agree that Australia is not a continent. Sporcle calls it 'Countries of Oceania', so that's what I always go by! =D

	megascarp:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 08:37 GMT	6 points
	Perhaps the question should be largest country 'entirely' within Europe? The most populous city is almost impossible to determine which is why i left it out of my own quiz 'Extreme Capital Cities'. And could you please accept answers like just Caspian instead of the the sea part as well, anyone writing Caspian isn't taking a wild guess.

	Everest isn't the tallest mountain, it's the highest above sea level. Mauna Kea is over 33,000 feet, but mostly underwater. In its entirety, it is taller than Everest, but nowhere near as high.

	IronFirefly:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 13:08 GMT	-1 points
	hmm, I'd think Russia and Denmark (Greenland) are bigger than Ukraine. Australia is cute too.

	mjkelly42:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 14:12 GMT	40 points
	You seem to have spelled Tokyo "Shanghai." Please correct.

	mjob688:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 14:43 GMT	1 point
	@DeePee height is always considered above sea level. Kilamenjaro could also be considered taller than everest but it is not because it is not totally above sea level.

	boyzfootball4:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 14:55 GMT	5 points
	@deepee give me a damn break you know what he means in the quiz and so does everyone else, your just nit picking to try and look cultured and smart when really it makes you look like a smart ass

	NYCub:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 15:26 GMT	4 points
	@mjob688 Yes, and if the clue had asked for the highest mountain, then it would have been completely correct as is. But it is not correct to say that Everest is the "tallest" mountain. @Boyzfootball4 If you don't want people to nitpick, you're on the wrong site :)

	amwoods13:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 16:04 GMT	13 points
	The simple thing to do on the Australia/Oceania issue is to accept both answers.

	sehh:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 16:40 GMT	2 points
	It is sporcle standard to call the the continent oceania, Russia is partly in Europe (so Ukraine would be the biggest ENTIRELY in Europe), and to resolve the shanghai-tokyo debate, shanghai is the largest in city proper, while tokyo is the largest by metro area. Also that number is not accurate, according to every source I can find its population ranges from about 13 million-15 million not 19 million. just one example: http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/bigcities.htm

Comment below threshold: show it

	Michelle100:	Mar 8th, 2011 at 20:10 GMT	4 points
	Australia cannot be a continent; if it is, what continent is New Zealand in? If the answer is to be Ukraine then it should say entirely in Europe. Greenland is not in Europe, it's in North America although a territory of Denmark

	Patricio:	Mar 9th, 2011 at 00:19 GMT	5 points
	Tokyo metro area is over 34.000.000

	astrobradley:	Mar 9th, 2011 at 01:27 GMT	3 points
	Agreed, please accept Baikal and Caspian instead of adding the "Lake" and "Sea" parts. Needs more specific clues, as seen above. Largest city PROPER, or largest country ENTIRELY in Europe.

	nowaybrah76:	Mar 9th, 2011 at 02:48 GMT	1 point
	I would say that Australia/Oceania is the same. I grew up thinking Australia was a continent but then where would the countries around it fit in?

	thestorm80:	Mar 9th, 2011 at 03:45 GMT	6 points
	There is some debate as to what constitutes a "continent" and there are about 5 different models used to distinguish the continents of the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent. So, the fact that the quiz accepts both answers is good enough for me; who cares what the label is?

	Sudan won't be up here for long...the south will be its own country this July.

	DeePee:	Mar 10th, 2011 at 11:49 GMT	-2 points
	@mjob688 & boyzfootball4 height is considered above sea level, but the question asks for tallest, not highest. I'm not being a "smart ass", and I didn't know what he meant (at first) because I didn't try Everest first. How high a mountain is and how tall a mountain is are two completely different things. As for Kilimanjaro, it's about 150 miles from the sea, so I'm not really sure where you're coming from there. @boyzfootball4 note also this is how to respond to a comment without resorting to childish insults.

	Please accept Vatican instead of having to add the city

	runinraider:	Mar 12th, 2011 at 19:27 GMT	4 points
	5/5 because it got people pissed off haha! I think that would be my goal if I started making my own quizes...good enough to get people to play, and debatable enough to get people in a tizzy lol. :)

	I like the use of "hot" to make Sahara rather than Antarctica the largest desert, though it does get awfully cold at night.

	Aunekris:	Jul 17th, 2011 at 14:25 GMT	1 point
	You should change Sudan as the largest country in Africa. The new country is Algeria because Sudan has been split in two parts: South Sudan and Sudan
