Your answer was good enough for a point.

Sure. Not questioning that. Just that John's answer reminded me that I knew the specifics of this.

LOUBY LOU gets:

It was the Dwarfs!!! Hurrah!! Quite suprised tho coz I missed quite a few out....

All the ones you answered you got right pretty much though.

And yes it WAS the dwarves aha

I think you might find that global warming has had quite an effect on the world's largest island. In other words it has shrunk and may no longer be the largest.

Don't be grumpy,

Just because you are too dopey to know that

Spoiler:

is the largest at 2,166,086 km² whilst

Spoiler:

is a mere 743,330 km² doesn't mean you should spoil Lou's happy triumph.

Just as well I'm not too bashful to point out that you must have been very sleepy or sick at home all coughy and sneezy when geography class covered the largest islands of the world.

Don't feel too bad though, Doc.
