It's a pitty that not USA related questions are not considered general knowledge or trivia. Lake Baikal is well known. If this quiz is meant only for Americans let us know. We stop playing

I'd heard of Lake Baikal but no idea which river flowed out of it.I am all ways learning new knowledge. That's the best thing about these quizzes.

Donald Peterson, google it after the fact. Otherwise it is known as cheating. Most of us do not - it is an unfair to get undeserved points.

Isabel Laing, Yes Isabel - trouble is they are not always correct and the authors can't spell which is also bad.

tkudera, just because you don't know the answer to a question, does not make it beyond the realm of common knowledge.

Donald Peterson

tkudera, GOOGLE it. I do.

Yunus Ghazanvi, I would disagree. A river is redefined as a dry river bed without water. Popular opinion says the lower point of a vessel, lake, requires something to drain the water otherwise it would continue to fill. The river which is lower and acts as a, wait for it, 'drain'.Hence a river drains a lake. A plughole and attached pipe drains your sink or shower etc. Common sense?
