A quiz on the true scale of rivers

Rivers of the world quiz: which river is longer?

Maps distort not only areas but lengths too. Guess which river is longer when both lie on a Mercator map, and where a river would end if it started in your city.

Answer 10 questions. After each answer you will see the rivers straightened at one scale or the river moved on the globe. Lengths come from the Encyclopædia Britannica table.
