reykjavik was a typo, dont ask me how I did not notice that.

And Mauretania is the german name for it, so that explains my error.

Thank you for the feedback!

Wouldn't the highest peak of Southeast Asia be Hkakabo Razi in Myanmar?

"The 5,881-meter (19,295 ft)-tall mountain is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia as well" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hkakabo_Razi)

Yeah, Mount Kinabulu seems to be the 28th highest mountain in South East Asia.

1. Q3: In English, it's just called "Mount Kinabalu," so it would be nice for this (and variants) to be accepted as a type-in. However as @YtxkA implies, the question is problematic as it stands in any case, because "Southeast Asia" is not well-defined. According to the Wikipedia page for List of Southeast Asian Mountains, for example, Mt. Kinabalu is only the 28th highest.

2. Q5: Could you please specify that you are looking for the city? (e.g.: "What city is the birthplace of Che Guevara?") I was rather confused and a bit put out when "Argentina" wasn't accepted.

3. Q6: As @bz points out, there are many countries with no rivers. See e.g.: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/26185/countries-without-rivers, which lists 17 answers.

The capital of Bolivia is Sucre. La Paz is not a capital.

The correct answer should be Quito, Ecuador.

Really?

As the seat of the government of Bolivia, La Paz is the site of the Palacio Quemado, the presidential palace. It is also the seat of the Bolivian legislature, the Plurinational Legislative Assembly, and numerous government departments and agencies. The constitutional capital of Bolivia, Sucre, retains the judicial power.

Jetpunk quizzes universally recognise both La Paz and Sucre as capitals of Bolivia.

Would Paris not be the second largest French-speaking city because Kinshasa is the largest with Paris in second?

Kinshasa is tricky. They haven’t had a proper census in 40 years, so it’s pretty hard to nail down things like languages spoken at home. It is plausible that a plurality of people speak French as their first language in the city, but hard to be sure.
