Wow, the Yellow River didn't make the cut, eh?

Nope, would be 22nd overall and would drop out of top30 if tributaries were counted separately.

The 'Yenisey' is also commonly called the 'Yenisei'.

I entered Yenisei also, I was sad to see it wasn't accepted.

All the quizzes I've seen used that spelling. I didn't know Yenisey was another spelling.

If you consider Rio de la Plata a river, wouldn't the Parana be part of its drainage basin and thus not counted separately?

That's true. Fixed to Rio de la Plata - Parana duel, so a new entry makes the list at #15

the Rio de la Plata isn't a river, but a sort of gulf or bay, so if you were to include it, it would be like including the entire Mediterranean Sea basin into the quiz.

I'm surprised the Murray/Darling river in Australia is not on the list, it covers a great area.

Can you accept Misisipi for the Mississippi river? That type-in is used all over this site. Can you also change Yenisey to Yenisei, it is the more commonly used spelling. Other than that, great quiz.
