Australia?


Which is the longest river in the world?

I thought for the Antarctica question, it was Argentina, but I'm not sure.

As for the longest river, according to the sources, that may be the Nile, the Amazon, the Mississippi, or the Jangtse.

Perhaps we need to confirm the answers to a few questions first before we move on?

Very good, but you have not fully answered the question. It decieves most people. Check your states, maybe you are a few shy.

Your probably right, I was between Argentina or Australia.

As for the river yes it is the Nile (4,180 miles) The Amazon (3,912) Mississippi (3,710) The Yangtze (3,602).

If you're including the upper Mississippi as well, then I guess we should include Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The Mississippi is only so called because it was discovered and mapped first. If the drainage system naming is based purely on length, than Old Man River should be the Missouri from St. Louis on down.

BTW, the Ohio is another major drainage river that should not be neglected.

That answers the question

The system does contain all of those states.

I don't know if it's my turn, but since no one else is posting, I'll ask a question:

By area, what is the 8th largest country in the world?

(No googling or looking at maps - other than the one inside your head. I was quite surprised when I discovered the answer to this.)

Andale'! It's Argentina.

What country has the highest mean terrain elevation?

I'll wager it is Tibet. Couldn't think of anything else (Colombia? hardly).

Easy peasy, China, or was it Chile perhaps...

If correct here is the next question?

Which countries shares their borders with Sweden?

Without looking name the 5 Great Lakes.

You did! But you languished in your postings...

Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ontario.

What country has had only two presidents since gaining its independence from France in 1958?

Hint 1 - It borders what's considered the "North Atlantic Ocean."

Hint 2: Hint 1 is accurate, but may be misleading!

Guinea - Sékou Touré and Lansana Conte.

BTW, was I right about the Maldives?

I was waiting for comfirmation... Didn't look it up just thought I knew it.




Guinea: Lansana CONTE in 1984, when the military seized the government after the death of the first president, Sekou TOURE. Guinea did not hold democratic elections until 1993 when Gen. CONTE (head of the military government) was elected president of the civilian government. He was reelected in 1998 and again in 2003.




My next question? This may be a tough one with guesses. Oh Well;


What is the name of the most populous street name in the U.S. In other words, which is the most common street name? What I'm looking for can be called street, road, lane, blvd..... and the likes - the answer has many designations.

I guess Arneb beat me to the answer even though we have conflicting answers.

Never mind, cross - I wrote Ghana when I meant Guinea. I clicked edit to correct my error, and when I reloaded the page, your answer had arrived.

So it's all yours - I repeat:
