Both spellings (Kangchenjunga and Kanchenjunga) are technically correct, so they are both accepted as answers. Thanks for the input anyway!

Great quiz, but the list of Europe is totally incorrect. It should be either:

1. Elbrus

2. Dykh-tau

3. Shkhara

4. (Mount) Kazbek

5. (Mont) Blanc

Or (if you don't view the Georgia as Europe):

1. Elbrus

2. Dykh-tau

3. Koshtantau

4. (Mont) Blanc

5. Dzhimara

It looks like you've taken the list of highest mountain per European country right now.
