18/21 right.

I went with the obvious answer to the tallest mountain, although it has been pointed out "tallest" needs to be defined as there is more than one mountain that meets some reasonable definition.

A lot of them weren't really all that important to understanding the world.?ÿ Who cares which river is longest, if you know the longer ones?

20 of 21, but like Bill93 pointed out, there is little value in knowing some of this information.?ÿ Any of it can be determined in under two minutes if a computer is handy.?ÿ I flipped/flopped on Capricorn vs Cancer.?ÿ Don't really care which is which.

I read that and my CPU entered a loop and I had to reboot it.

Scored 15/21. One question should read "Which ocean lies off the east coast of the United States?" not "Which ocean lies on the east coast of the United States?" If it did, some of us would be Atlanteans!

You are correct as Moscow is west of the Ural Mountain Range.?ÿ Stupid question in the first place.

Stupid question? Not necessarily, this was almost a deal breaker for the U.S.Guacamole Act of 1855 by President Andrew Jacobson. ?????ÿ

20/21?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿThe desert question doesn't have the correct answer. The worlds largest desert is the Antarctic desert. That wasn't an option. Missed the Moscow question.?ÿ

@flga-2-2?ÿ

Why is Greenland covered in ice while Iceland is covered with green?

@mightymoe?ÿ

The world's longest river runs from Antarctica to the North Pole, it has simply been in a flooded state for as far back as anyone can remember.

18/21.?ÿ The Prime Meridian question is kinda goofy, it defines 0?ø longitude.?ÿ All meridians pass through the North and South Poles.?ÿ The question may be better worded as:?ÿWhat is one imaginary line [called] that connects the north and south pole?

@mike-marks Agree. That question was written poorly
