I studied in Madrid for a semester in college. I have never even heard of that river and had to look it up...turns out I lived like three blocks from it in Arguelles, sat in the very park it runs through, and attended class about four blocks from it at Complutense. I have no memory of this river at all. Shows how much my priorities have changed in the 14 years since I lived there.

So glad you could live there. Im from Madrid as well but I live in Pozuelo. I hope you had a great time here. Once you live abroad (from a spaniard point of view), you realise that there are not too many places as good as Spain in terms of quality of life (weather, cuisine, people...)

I am pretty sure I did write baghdad for tigris and spelled it correctly... not that it matters much, my score sucked anyway :P (I do not know all the capital... still havent gotten around to it.)

I did get dublin on a total guess. I felt it sounded celtic :)

I thought Sumida would have been the easiest, since the part of Tokyo it goes through is called Sumida city.

Why would you think that any large amount of people would know of a random burrough called Sumida city? I would bet that not even most Japanese living outside of Tokyo would know that.

I had never heard of the Amstel but I guess it makes perfect sense that Amsterdam is the location of a dam on the Amstel.

Exactly. I remember one quiz that asked for river flowing through Cambridge. You know... CAM-bridge. When pressing the give-up button, I was thinking "why on Earth would anyone reasonably expect people to know some random small river?"

Needless to say, I felt rather silly when I saw the answer. :-D

Man, I am surprised a quiz exists where cities like Tokyo, Madrid, and Berlin are less guessed than Niamey, Kinshasa, or Phnom Penh.

It is all about long rivers vs smaller rivers in this case. The smaller rivers probably wouldn't really be known if these were located in other parts of the world. But I get what you mean, it is a funny fact.
