Your question. ;)

I'm glad someone got that one, I'd have never guessed that one in a million years :p

Good question....Canada is mountanous? I'd put that as number 1, if nothing else for the sheer size of the place. As for the rest of them...

Canada, Japan, Brazil, Australia. Hopefully I've got it wrong as I have no question in the hopper.

Correct.

1) Mount Logan, Canada -5,959 m
2) Mount Fuji, Japan - 3,776 m
3) Pico da Neblina, Brazil - 2,994 m
4) Mount Kosciuszko, Autralia - 2,234 m

Dammit! Ok, pulling one out of the hat, from the documentary I just watched. The Nile river has two sources. Where are they and which delivers the greater voulme?

I've always thought that Lake Victoria was the source of the Nile. Didn't realise there were two. Haven't a clue as to the second :mark:

(Good Q's recently btw, keep 'em coming :) )

Jeez this takes me back to elementary school :idea:
I have 3/4's of the answer. The rivers are The White Nile and The Blue Nile.
:s ailor: The White Nile delivers the most volume IIRC.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our survey. The question again is where are the sources and which delivers the greater volume? Perhaps I should clarify. Where is the source of the White and Blue respectively and of course the volume thing? I think I should hold out for a complete answer. As for the source location, lake name or country will do.

The source of the White Nile is Lake Victoria. I don't know the source of the Blue Nile but I'm guessing it is in Ethiopia?! :confused:

Mr. Alcatraz I'll assume your final answer is Lake Victoria, Ethiopia and the White Nile. Two out of three ain't bad, just ask Meat Loaf, but not good enough I'm afraid.
