Nice one. Small typo on Baltic.

Level 71

Feb 9, 2023

Thanks! I fixed the typo

Level 67

Mar 12, 2023

I got Gran Canaria, if only I'd applied the same logic to the others I could have had two more correct!

Level 93

Feb 21, 2024

Missed the 'five largest' in the instructions, spent far too long trying islands like Wight, Anglesey, Man, and Arran, and Islay before Skye was accepted.

Level 67

Feb 21, 2024

I live in Montréal and I never heard anyone refers to the Hochelaga archipelago.

Level 85

Feb 21, 2024

Also from the Montreal area and never heard of Hochelaga Archipelago.

Level 83

Feb 25, 2024

Sounds like a you problem... it may not be the most common name but it does appear to be a possible and valid name. In French it's Archipel d'Hochelaga, and it takes its name from a Native American group previously inhabiting the area

Level 86

Mar 11, 2024

Hochelaga is correct. If you know obscure Canadian history, then the answer is easy. The name came about the same time the French mistaken the word for village (Kanata, now Canada) to be the name of the whole region.

Level 83

Mar 12, 2024

The etymology is correct, but the fact that it was a mistake is itself a misunderstanding, from what I can find from a quick search. (There are many etymologies claimed to be foreign words applied in error, but that just implies that explorers and colonisers were bumbling fools who didn't know what they were doing, when actually their interactions with native peoples were fully conscious and fitted perfectly into their horrific plans of colonialism.)

Then you learned a fun piece of trivia about the place you live in.

Level 60

Can you accept GB for Great Britain? Cool quiz otherwise.

Level 71

Feb 22, 2024

Type-in added (change pending).

Level 85

Feb 21, 2024

"Grand Comore" doesn't work for Grande Comore? It works in 407 Islands on the World Map.

Level 71

Feb 22, 2024

It will be accepted (change pending).

Level 76

Feb 21, 2024

Great quiz - how about doing an advanced version that asks for all five answers in each category?

Level 71

Feb 23, 2024

Thank you for this good idea! I have done a 12 archipelagos version you can find here.

Level 71

Feb 23, 2024

What about the Isle of Man for British Isles?

Level 71

Feb 23, 2024

Not large enough compared to the others (574 km²).

Level 75

Feb 25, 2024

Please accept Euboea for Evia

Level 71

Feb 26, 2024

It's now accepted (after approval).

Level 70

Feb 26, 2024

Oahu is bigger than Molokai.

Carbrera is the fifth biggest balearic island.

Hochelaga islands are inaccurate past montreal and jesus and I'm fairly sure there are some other small islands in the mascerene islands as well.

Still fun quiz :)

Level 71

Feb 27, 2024

I have updated the quiz considering your first 2 observations. Thank you.

Level 70

You missed La Gomera and El Hierro in Canary Island, but very nice quiz

Level 71

Mar 11, 2024

Not large enough to be included.

Level 72

Mar 11, 2024

Accept English (traditional?) names for the Galápagos:

Albemarle/Albermarle, Indefatigable, Narborough, James, Chatham.

I didn't check the quiz for this but I think San Salvador should also be accepted for Santiago.

Level 71

Mar 12, 2024

These names will be accepted after approval.

Level 50

Mar 11, 2024

Pls accept gran comore

Level 71

Mar 12, 2024

I do not see why. Accepting Grand or Grande is meaningful to me because of the close pronunciation, but Gran is not used at all to describe this island.

Level 31

Mar 11, 2024

If you count disputed territories, the 5th largest island in Japan is Iturup/Etorofu Island in Kuril Islands

Level 61

Mar 11, 2024

Kuril Islands aren't on here?

Level 71

Mar 12, 2024

The Kuril Islands are considered to form the northeastern boundary of the Japanese archipelago for this quiz, just as the Wiki definition suggests.

Level 78

Jun 4, 2024

Well, I got it wrong, but the largest of the Canary Islands should be called Canis Major.

Level 59

Wow, never thought I'd see Kimitoön as an answer on Jetpunk.
