Terminology Used:

River: A body of water bearing the same name for its course.

River system: A system which consists of at least two rivers. There are, however, requirements for this:

A river system has been assumed if it has:

1. its source in a lake which is fed by a river of another name (e.g. Selenge -> Lake Baikal -> Angara)

2. its source at the confluence of two rivers, then following the longer stem (e.g. Shatt al-Arab, then following the Euphrates stem)

This in return means that a longer tributary joining the main river later somewhere along its way is NOT considered a river system (e.g. Irtysh - Ob).

All headwaters included can be found in quiz stats.

Stay tuned, the World is coming next!

Besides that, it's an amazing quiz
