The St. Lawrence definitely flows to the Atlantic. Would also be great if you accepted both "murray" and "darling" since they're often considered part of the same river and written as the "murray-darling"

Thanks for the feedback 👍

St. Lawrence still isn't an answer to that question?

Great quiz! Shatt-al-Arab works for the Middle East clue, but not for the Beginning-With-S clue.

For the megacity question, since the largest city in the World is Guangzhou, I think that the Pearl should be an acceptable answer.

Would you consider Saint Lawrence and Sao Francisco as acceptable answers for the "is named after a specific person"- clue?

Nice quiz, I enjoyed it!

The St. Lawrence is technically not named after a person, but a bay instead. Just like the Columbia river, for example, it was named after a boat.

I did add Sao Francisco, thank you :)

Is "average" depth an average over time or average along its course? It looks like the Danube is over 250 ft deep at one place but is much shallower in most other places.

From my research, its more average over time.

hey, just so you know the "List of rivers by age" hyperlink appears to have a mistake. The word "source" is included in the url as well
