You could improve this quiz in a few ways. Firstly, correct the spelling of the highest mountain. Secondly, don't require users to repeat words in the question. I doubt that I am alone in finding this irritating. For example in Qn 9 you currently have to type the words "Cliffs of", whereas you should only require the name of the Cliffs. Similarly for Qn 10.
