Thanks! Don't worry I can just copy the SVG directly, I'm hopefully going to use it in my series on World Geography on a Map.

Right ok so I'm not sure how much you know about this stuff but let's say there is a map you like and you want to use it in Inkscape. Go to the view source and copy the HTML between the svg and /svg. Open up a notepad document and paste the HTML into the document and save it. When you save it make sure that the type of document is 'all files' and not a '.txt' and when you type in the name of the file make sure it ends in .svg e.g 'rivermap.svg' Now it is saved as an svg file it can be opened up in Inkscape.

Irtysh river (4248km) is longer than Missouri river (4087km). And Parana river is rather short without the Rio Grande (3200km).

Pretty sure the Irtysh is included with the Ob river.

So you're including Mississippi and Missouri as separate? Because I was expecting the Brahmaputra to be here.

Yeah that doesn't really make sense, because the Brahmaputra is longer than the Mississippi by itself.

Could Rio de la Plata be accepted too? (even though it's only a small part of the actual river)

Nice quiz by the way

Good quiz. I'd be happy to see quite a few more rivers in there as this lot are pretty easy.

I got the 9 most guessed ones, and I knew Ob aswell, not sure I have ever heard of any of the others though. I did guess Paraguay, Uruguay and Rio grande, which all flow into it, and rio dela Plata.

Heilongjiang is a region in China so it would not make sense.

The province is named after the river - Heilongjiang literally means Black dragon river.
