Oh god, gone for a few hours and philippe takes over this whole thread. Don´t you know that there is such a thing as an edit button??? No need for a new post for every sentence you want to say. And he says he doesn´t SPAM! 
AND NOONE answered my question correctly!
mdch posted: "Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Lativia, Ukraine, Kazakstan, Mongolia, China, North Korea, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and also Belarus." + "Poland" from Michiel.
BUT Armenia is WRONG. There is no land border between Armenia and Russia.
The total number of 14 is right though, you all forgot NORWAY!
And for philippes question, I think he means the "Djebel Mubarak". That is a mountain in Jordania near the border to Isreal. Something above 1700m high!

Now look who´s trying to sound smart!
Did you actually read the RULES of this quiz on the front page, philippe???
ALL answers AND questions have to be made from your own memory, since anybody can look up the answers in a book or on the net.
Those 14year olds.
Fortunately for you, I have a great numbers memory, at school my best friend and me were geography whizzes and learned those numbers just for fun!
So IIRC it was 1727m. The highest point in that region and therefore a most valuable strategic objective.

I don't care.
I would like to request that this thread be closed and that Lucky open a new one with a new question. Also, I would like it spelled out in the rules that you must wait for the person who asked the question to validate the answers and declare the next turn.
I agree with that as well, sorry for being so hungry with question asked by mcdh.

No need for closing this thread, I´ll edit my own first post to make everything totally clear.
Here are the rules again:
Here are the rules again:
- 1. This thread is ONLY for Geography questions and answers! NO SPAMMING!
2. A person starts with one question and the first one to answer correctly (wait for confirmation from the questioner) will post the next question. And so on.
3. If a question has NOT been answered correctly for 3 days, the questioner should either give some hints or post a new question.
4. This is a quiz of knowledge. So all answers AND questions should be made from your own memory! Anyone is able to find them on the net or in a book.
5. To verify and/or emphasize your answer, e.g. when you are sure you are right but the questioner says wrong, you can use additional sources.

Hey, can´t I even take some time to think?
Anyway here goes:
Where did the largest amount of water flow through a river into an ocean in the last 1000 years?
I don´t mean the average flow over this time span, but the absolute maximum of water flowing into an ocean!
If you can name the river, do so, but that´s not required.

Is it the Amazon?
I know it's fed by thousands of tributaries, and when it reaches the Atlantic an improbable number (many thousands) of square miles of ocean have actually become fresh water, rather than salt, because of this. So, I say the Amazon.
(The last thousand years makes it tricky, otherwise it would be the flow from a breached glacial dam in Siberia 14,000 years ago, or something of that sort. I don't recall any breached glacial dams in the last 1,000 years.)

Given the info of absolute maximum I would say Bangladesh and the ocean then is the Indian Ocean.

No and nope! 
The Amazon is the river with the highest water flow per year. In our time, but of course also several thousand years ago. BUT that is just an average.
The idea with the glacial dam is not bad and also not too far away from the correct answer but it´s not it.

A wild guess is the Rhine, but it could be the Lena.

Lucky can you please explain what you mean with:
- Where: you mean country, city, something else?
- Through a river into an ocean: you mean at the mouth of that river?
- Absolute maximum of water? You mean a number expressed as cubics / sec?
Not looking for clues, just for clarification.

First, it´s a NO! 
And second, some clarification, specifically for Beammeuppy!
The where is simple, just a country or region, etc. Not a city or something like that, it´s a river I´m looking for after all.
Again, it´s a river carrying water to the ocean. And that river carried the most water during a certain period in the last 1000 years.
And yes, the absolute maximum means the throughput or flow in cubics per second. I don´t want that number though.
And I don´t want the name of the river either.
To reiterate my question:
"Where did the highest amount of water flow over land (a river) in the last 1000 years?"

Thanks for the explanation Lucky!
Another try.
Some decades ago a dam for hydropower purposes in the Alps collapsed, if I remember well in Austria, Switzerland or Italy. Can't remember the river name though.

Is it the Great Lakes area in North America? I remember having read about icedams building up in lake Erie blocking the water to the Niagara river.
