Lives up to its difficulty level. There are also some rivers in Australia and the Nordic countries that flow by major cities, which would be fun to see.

Please accept Wisla for Vistula. Wisla is its Polish name and the river is known as Wisla in the rest of Eastern Europe as well.

I guessed it because it said 'Arizona'. Not many large rivers in that part of the US.

No. In Lyon there are the Rhone and the Saone. The Loire isn't there.

I wouldn't say Xi'an lies on the Yellow River. It's a good 120km off, judging from Google Maps. I'd say that the Wei River should be the correct answer, or at least an accepted type-in.

Yeah, Xi'an is clearly not on the Yellow River. A good fix without an excessive increase in difficulty would probably be to replace Xi'an with Lanzhou, which is still a fairly significant Chinese city that is right on the banks of the Yellow River.

Whenever either Tigris or Euphrates is an answer to a quiz, I always seem to type the wrong one first. Every single time.

Yangon is at the confluence of the Yangon River and the Bago River, and nowhere near the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) River. How have (currently) 42% of people guessed that correctly and no one commented about it? Am I missing something?

"Volgograd" is an example of the full name of a city which includes the answer. Please abbreviate to "Grad"!

When I first read the quiz title I thought it said "Cry to River" and it was gonna be some reference to Justin Timberlake.

I knew four rivers more but correct answers were too specific. Wisla-Vistula, Hoang Ho,-Yellow, Ind-Indus
