i want largest river, not longest, shortest, deepest, shallowest, thinnest, widest, bluest, greenest, etc

which river is considered the 'largest' in the world

wtf is largest river

yes, this is the question

Doom switched

I'm afraid we might end up being slow editing the thread title sometimes if we try to do it for every single question, so I just went with this instead imo??

Can we change our answer?

qft?

<---already submitted answer, has no idea what largest means

size doesnt matter imo

you can change answers up until deadline

lies imo

I don't like this policy. Since I submitted and the looked up the answer. I'm not accusing of people changing their answer after looking it up, but one rationale would be that the question was phrased in an "unclear" manner

lol it wasnt just unclear, it was pretty terribly phrased since "largest" has many equally reasonable interpretations with regard to rivers (volume of water? length? surface area?)

u can only resubmit if you haven't looked it up

and it wasn't terribly phrased...it was phrased the way i wanted it to be phrased

there is one river universally declared "largest river in the world"

this is not ambiguous

yeah to anyone with any knowledge of geography nich's obsession with "largest" kind of gave it away

only got 51 answers so far...get your submissions in folks!

Let me know when I can answer (or if we're delaying).

give em until tomorrow at noon since it's a new round...then answer in thread and that will be deadline for entries

right-o

All right, I'll answer now...

64 left, so the bank is $25,000

Do you want to bank or continue, True North?

Nile has been considered LONGEST for years, tho barely more than Amazon and even that may change as new evidence has erupted a debate

but the drainage area is over 2x larger for Amazon and average discharge is over 43x larger for Amazon

Nile is known as longest, Amazon as largest

from wiki on Amazon River:

"The Amazon River (Portuguese: Rio Amazonas; Spanish: Río Amazonas) of South America is the largest river in the world by volume, with a total river flow greater than the next top eight largest rivers combined. The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, accounts for approximately one fifth of the world's total river flow."

"While the Amazon is clearly the largest river in the world by most measures, the current consensus within the geographic community holds that the Amazon is the second longest river, just slightly shorter than the Nile. However, some scientists, particularly from Brazil and Peru, dispute this"

grrr...when was this revelation made? how did I not know about it?
