When is a peninsula not a peninsula? Are not the southern tip of South America and the eastern tip of Russia both peninsulas? Patagonian and Siberian respectively. But I'm not sure where you would start measuring them from. Also, Kamchatka and the Antarctic peninsula look bigger than some of the ones you have listed - but maybe that's just due to distortion from the Mercator projection.

Great idea for a quiz! If you add a source for your info and elaborate on the definition of "peninsula" then this deserves a feature.
