For the river, I thought you might be going for the Esk. Took me a while to get past that.

Did anyone else wonder why "RDJ" didn't work for "Abbreviation for Brazil's most famous city"? Then I read the question properly.

When I read '"Question asking" British river' I couldn't get Tarn Hows out of my head - I did try Why just in case but it didn't click to spell it like that. Also Hawaiian doesn't have many letters so I just tried spelling them in different orders and got one pretty quickly!

One of my favourite spots in the Lake District....... early morning in Autumn, mist just fading as the sun lights up the red and green foliage, everything reflected in the mirror-like lake and the sound of birds just beginning their day.......... magic.

Fes is equally acceptable for Fez.

Fez or Fes (/fɛz/; Arabic: فاس, romanized: fās; Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⴼⵉⵣⴰⵣ, romanized: fizaz; French: Fès) is a city in northern inland Morocco and the capital of the Fès-Meknès administrative region.

During a senior's moment I forgot that this was a geographic quiz. I got all bent out of shape when “eye” wasn’t accepted as the answer for "Word that comes after Dead, Red, or Black”. 🙄

I believe "eye" should be an acceptable answer for dead, red and black...dead eye (sharpshooter), red eye (late late night flight) and black eye (self explanatory)

...Except those answers don't relate to geography and the title of the quiz very clearly states that this is a geography quiz.

Word that comes after Dead, Red, or Black? Surely "Eye" fits this question as well.

Cay should be an accepted spelling of key; they have the same meaning and are just alternative spellings.

While cay is an alternative spelling for key in this context, there is no Cay Largo or Cay West.
