	Crap! Note to self: do NOT take similar geo quizes in succession--in this case it was an Indiana Jones geo quiz. I KNOW I already typed in that country, and that one, and that one.... except I didn't. It was last quiz, idiot. Ugh. Good quiz tho.

	Great quiz.

	Good quiz, even if I haven't heard of any of these besides Angel Falls. I kept trying to guess what country Victoria Falls is in, but it didn't make the list.

	Too much time, I just guessed loads of not completely flat countries.

	TessSGS:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 08:27 GMT		8 points
	Wow, really surprised Victoria Falls wasn't in, until I looked it up and saw that although it's the biggest waterfall in the world, it's nowhere near the tallest.

	The one is Austria has the wrong name I believe, it's actually called Krimmler Wasserfälle, or Krimml Waterfall. I've been to it myself and it was frequently referred to as the highest waterfall in Austria, never heard of it being called the 'Walcherfall'. :s

	Should accept Reunion as well. Knew there was one there but forgot it was under French rule. Otherwise good.

	Very interesting!! @TessSGS, I believe the biggest waterfall in the world is Iguazu Falls in Argentina not Victoria. Either way I guess biggest doesn't mean longest jaja.

	I was quite surprised to learn that some of the largest countries, like China and Russia, even with all their varied terrain, didn't even rank!

	Why's the picture for this quiz, an icelandic waterfall thats only 62m tall

	Rigga:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 14:45 GMT		3 points
	The source is very unrealiable, at least for the Sava Falls in Slovenia. I've been there and they are certainly not 600 meters high. To be honest, I don't think they even reach 100 meters. But then again, the source says that this height has not been verifies and that the Google Earth height map shows that it can't be higher than 330 meters.

	Also, James Bruce fell that far? Poor guy.

Comment below threshold: show it

	i knew angel falls just because the waterfall in the pixar film UP is based off of it.

	@EmYanks2001: Niagara Falls is not the tallest waterfall in either Canada or the United States, so it does not appear on this quiz.

	eab21:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 23:05 GMT		4 points
	I'm surprised that there are so many others guessed more often than the tallest one.

	philiph:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 23:15 GMT		2 points
	If only I could pronounce any of those names...

	ChileNoseJam:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 23:24 GMT		13 points
	@EmYanks2001: it's on the Niagara River, on the border between the USA and Canada. You can look it up in an atlas if you want to check.

	Hidden Valley Falls must be hidden enough for me not to know about them.

	pablitomiguez:	Nov 7th, 2011 at 16:07 GMT		1 point
	started typing the countries of the falls I heard about (Iguazu, Angel, Victoria, Niagara) then ended up just guessing countries... cool knowing the existance of so many waterfalls all over the world.

	steimatt:	Nov 7th, 2011 at 18:29 GMT		3 points
	I'm surprised Vatican City didn't make the list.

	Hidden Valley Falls is actually the world's only "ranch dressing" falls. Bring a carrot.
