	Nice quiz, but you should accept (mount) Carstensz for Puncak Jaya. Also, the largest country question for Europe is debatable. Probably should be Russia (the European part of Russia has a population of probably somewhere around 110 million).

	I would, as Tobsodan, allow for Russia at least as an alternate, since it is part Europe. Also, New Guinea is often considered an Oceanian island and would be larger than (NZ) South Island. Maybe allow some alternatives for Yangtze and finally the source for the GDP (I guess you go "per capita") seems debatable or incomplete. Apart from all this rambling, a really nice quiz, enjoyed my time here (well, apart from the 2 minutes I chased Baffin island, Ellesmere island or whatever North Canadian one I forgot before the obvious hit me).

	Thanks both for the feedback, I've added alternate answers for all the points you raised. My source for GDP is the CIA World Factbook, and I don't think there's a more complete/accurate source out there.

	Olo'upena falls are in Hawaii, although part of the USA they aren't in North America. The correct answer should be James-Bruce falls in British Columbia, Canada.

	Mont Blanc should be accepted, too, since definition of highest mountain depends on where you put the border between Europe and Asia. Since this is still disputed, I think accepting both answers would be fair. Also Yangtse is imho more often written with s than with z. You should accept other ways of writing it since it's a transliteration anyways, also Yang Tse/Tze in two words should be acceptable.

	I think Istanbul should be an alternative answer for largest European city, because some people don't consider Russia to be in Europe. Along the same lines, I think Danube should be an alternative for longest river.

	Please specify that it is GDP per capita. I mean, saying 'poorest' implies that but you don't lose anything being clearer :)

	No coldest/warmest point? Aww.

	I rushed to try to name the largest European island in the last few seconds...tried Crete and Sicily, but Great Britain never occurred to me. /facepalm
