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

Ooof

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

Mount Denali is in Alaska, which is as much of an external territory as the Canaries

Makes no sense that the Canary Islands are considered an "external territory" but Alaska isn't

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.

Can every country follow Kenya's example and name all their highest peaks after the country name? Or their country after their highest peak...?
