Great quiz. Makes you think but at the same time nothing that's really too hard to guess. Got most of these on my first or second try.

I think the answer for "lowest point" could work whether we're talking topographically or historically

If you think about it, Bhutan is the happiest country, and has also one of the lowest GDPs. That means that money is the opposite to happiness!

They don't measure their growth in GDP, they do it in GNH, Gross National Happiness. But it really isn't that happy, since people are forced to wear traditional clothing and the Nepalese minority has been treated horrendously, even to the point where most were kicked out in the 1990s and have been living in impoverished tent camps in Nepal ever since.

Got them all, but had a frustrating period where I totally spaced on what the quiz was asking for and kept typing Burj Khalifa, Dead Sea and Mt Everest and wondering why they weren't working. Ended up getting there with 11 seconds to spare when I stopped being an idiot.
