umm ... I'm not sure of the distances, but I'm pretty sure that the Brazos river is longer than 240km. Also, the Susquehanna, Allegheny, and Monongaheila rivers are longer than this as well.

Way too incomplete to be any good ... Just a few rivers that are longer: Nelson (2575); Arkansas (2364); Brazos (2060); a different Colorado River in Texas (1387); Canadian (1458);

Arkansas River is a biggie. Is it excluded because it flows into the Mississippi?

There is also the Snake which flows into the Columbia. I'm thinking the quizmaker only used "independent" rivers???

Mackenzie is an "independent" river that is pretty high up on the list. And the Missouri flows into the Mississippi, as does the Ohio. Sources for these? This and your South American Rivers quiz are both terribly incomplete.

Yes, I am only using independent rivers. Thanks for the suggestions, I am working on fixing the quiz. Obviously I used the wrong wikipedia page. Trying a different one now...hopefully it works.

This is just wrong all around. Ohio and Missouri are not independent. Per wikipedia there's tons of even short east coast rivers that are longer than the Skagit - the Susquehanna is 715 km, the Connecticut is 665, the Roanoke is 660, the Delaware is 579 (or 660), the Savannah is 560, the Hudson is 507.

Okay...hopefully this version is correct (or at least more accurate).
