great! I suggest adding bay of Fundy since it's famous for its tides

Level 81

Thanks. I agree with you, but it is too small and people will not be able to see it on map.

The poor old Gulf of Carpentaria in my home state of Queensland isn't getting much love - only 20% guessing it.

I think people will learn about it by playing of this quiz :)

Yep. I did. Wouldn't have guessed that in a thousand years.

I knew it because of my 'Seas on the World Map' quiz, but I‘ve added so many type-ins that I couldn‘t remember the actual name...

Sorry to tell you, but its love went down to 15%

You should add Arabian Gulf as an alternate to the last listed answer.

Seconded.

The Great Australian Bight is a meat pie! ;-)

Level 87

The name sounds so fitting for the waters of Australia.

Australian Bight should be enough

As long as I've lived in southern California I've never heard the Sea of Cortez called the Gulf of California. I'm looking at a map on my wall and it is definitely labeled as Sea of Cortez...where did this other name coming from?

Level 75

May 7, 2017

Born and raised in Southern California and always heard it called Gulf of California -- never referred to as Sea of Cortez, even though I know it has that name as well.

Level 82

Mar 7, 2018

Only textbooks seem to call it that. In Baja it's the Mar de Cortez, never the Golfo de California—never heard it called that.

Derp. Tried Estonia but not Finland.

The "Longest World's Rivers on the World Map" link is broken on this quiz and the other quizzes that link it.

Maybe time for an update soon? The ludicrously-coiffured faeces-witted freak who is soon to become president of the Neo-American Empire has his own ideas about reality and nomenclature that might clash with JetPunk…
