Well, I did okay. Annoyed I didn't go with New York. Rather with Sydney, thought we had more Australia here 
Now, I though I will have fun with this. My 2nd answers might be bit speculative to say least ....

Sent. Forgot about the Alps and NYC (Himalaya, Milan), but scored the top score on the others. Now hoping to stay in the middle of the table.

Sent. Wow i did way better than i expected to do in the 1st round! Should of said Mexico instead of Panama though, but it was to my understanding that Mexico was in North America . Can't wait for round 3 because i know round 2 is going to be an epic fail for me.

NYC, Nile and Denmark were good for me... But why on earth did I pick the Rocky Mountains and Honduras?

Same thing, except that I thought it would be more safe to go with Mexico But with 4 Dutch guys in the first page, I thought Rotterdam could be a good choice, was between Rotterdam and NYC, went for the wrong one But other than that, got the others all at max points 
Second round looks though, I think I might score some... 5 points

This game can be quite challenging due to the location of where people live. Like in round 1, people that live in USA will most likely say rocky mountains and a city from USA, whereas in Europe, totally different answers may be said.. makes the game more interesting nonetheless.

Yeah the city question could have brought endless results im surprised so many said New York. With the mountains question I just flat out said a United States chain of mountains and for the flag one, Japan came to mind first... should have said Canada.. The river one was the only confident answer I had and for round 2 I also only have 1 confident answer.. Oh well, I could be last instead of 3rd to last

Going for Alps was an easy choice imo. This is a cycling forum after all!

Mexico does raise a question though. Shouldn't false answers be discounted. Mexico is north america after all

The answer you give doesn't have to be "correct" for the respective question. You're allowed to write "Germany" for a country in Central America for example. I wouldn't make much sense, of course, but what I want to show with this example is that if you think that you're actually with stupid and most people will name the Atlantic Ocean as a river, you're of course allowed to name that
You have to learn to be more "stupid"

You've got to factor in the knowledge (or lack of) of others. |

The first thing that came to mind was Mexico but then i immediately realized Mexico is north america not central. Should have gone blindly with my first thought lol
But as for rivers. The Nile never came up. I immediately thought of Mississippi. I wonder why

Actually, I never thought of the Alps, even though I can see (well, lower parts of) them every morning on my way to university
