It should be Bosporus instead of Bosporous. And please accept Bosphorus as a type-in.

Excellent Quiz! This is a really great map! I believe that what is marked as the Bay of Fundy more closely aligns with the Gulf of Maine.

Is there a way this quiz could be changed so you can get points on it? Seems like it should be.

There's a process to that, which I would have thought someone at your level would be aware of.

Using one of your nominations on it will help start the process. (Press the blue "Nominate" button near the top of the quiz.)

Don't hold your breath waiting for it to be featured though.

Great quiz. I would be inclined to separate the answer grid into sections to correspond with the colour coding on the map.

yes, please! then we could concentrate on all the straits, bays, oceans, canals, seas etc along the way as part of the teaching and learning process. It would not take long to create the answer sheet to go along with the categories of each. There could even be a second one below that fills them in by region as well.

Thank you amazing amount of work to create this!

Very good quiz and clear rendering using arrows. I like it! Nominated ;)

What about using < a> tags for links in caveat? This would make them more compact.

Outstanding. Your way of choosing your waterways is... well... it's probably just you. I like it. It is the way to learn about places in the world. I had never come across Lincoln Sea before. Now it's there in my mental atlas forever. I hope it does not give me headaches if it, perchance, ever runs into the Jefferson Davis Gulf.

I definitely like your quiz.

I support what other have said earlier: the difficulty balance is simply great. It's not the nitpicking granular selection other may have used but it's deep enough to let us learn something.

Also: the graphics are perfect. Crystal clear and not confusing.

Also, as a simple update, why don't you just differentiate the answers by type as you did on the map?

If possible I would rate this 6 stars. Definitely nominated!

This major quiz should be worth 100 points.

Can you spit it into several quizzes with this being the mother of them all? for learning like by continents or just the seas and oceans then the straits, channels then the lakes then all the crazy uncategorized ones?

Still this quiz stays the same just there would be ways to learn segments along the way. Many of us use the smaller shorter quizzes to teach ourselves the information in smaller chunks and then master the whole puzzle. Thanks
