Darn, I got really thrown off because there's also Pico Simón Bolívar in Colombia which is a little taller than Pico Bolívar.

To be fair, it does say external territories (Unless the quiz was edited and approved in the last 30 minutes)

Alaska is a state, not a territory. The Canaries shouldn't be considered as such either since they're on the same footing as other communities in Spain.

The UK also has taller mountains on its external territories (British Antarctic Territory, South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha).

In fairness, British Overseas Territories aren't strictly part of the UK. Whereas Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, and the Canaries are an autonomous community of Spain.

Nice quiz, though would have been nice to feature Kosciuszko to make it symmetrical, and since in this quiz we wouldn't have to spell it! Maybe it's just because I'm Australian, but the Polish sounding name would certainly be a curveball.

Is the concept really so hard to grasp? If the tallest mountain of one country happens to border another country as well, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is the highest peak of that country too.

I have a bone to pick with the external territory rule

1. If you count Greenland as Denmark's highest point then Mount Paget should be the UK's highest.

2. The Canary Islands are not an external territory, sure they aren't connected to the mainland but they are as Spanish as Alaska is American

1. Let's get into the absurdities of the UK. "United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself." (PCGN, 2022, p. 1), whereas the Kingdom of Denmark is the sovereign state, of which Denmark proper, Greenland and Faroe Islands are constituencies. Hence, if we include external territories, Greenland must be included for Denmark, but the BOTs aren't external territories of the UK and thus must be omitted.

2. I agree, but this change was made by Quizmaster, so that's up to him.
