yep those are the ones and your order are correct as well.

OK what's the name of the largest North flowing river in North America and what body of water does it empty into..?

Bonus points for every Province or Territory you can name that the whole system passes thru.

What's the use of getting bonus points?

What's the use of getting bonus points?

You win MORE! More is always better than less! If you go shopping you see a bottle of dish wash soap and it says "25% More free" that's a lot better deal, right... Only a cynic would ask "How can it be 25% free-er than free?"..
"You can't think like that!
What would happen if everybody thought that way?" <----bonus points for the name of one of greatest books ever written that that is a quote from

And extra Geographic Bonus points for naming the island where that epic bit of logic was uttered.

Same if I win with the right answer and have 7 skittles shot down.

My guess that the water body is the gulf of St. Lawrence and that the river have the same name; S.T Lawrence?

[schmenke]

The St. Lawrence river flows generally west to east.

I believe this is a bit of a trick question as, by volume, I would guess it’s the Mackenzie River flowing from Great Slave Lake into the Beaufort Sea, contained entirely, I believe, in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

By length, it might be the Red River that flows along the North Dakota – Minnesota border (not sure of its source), through Manitoba and empties into Lake Winnipeg.

What is the Athabasca River? I think it flows north into Lake Athabasca

[D-Type]

By largest do you mean greatest flow or greatest length?
Not that it matters as my knowledge of North American rivers can be written on a [small] postage stamp. And none of the ones I know flow north!

That just made me think of the Peace River which originates somewhere in British Columbia and also (I believe) flows into Lake Athabaska. Although, I think this might flow in a more easterly direction...

Large, like in looking at a Vogon spaceship hovering over all London, "Man that's LARGE"..

Long is like....LONG....
