I got two wrong. Good test!
Good test on your blog.
Here's one to add to the list:
A drop of water from Red Lake eventually flows to the Atlantic Ocean via:
1) The Pigeon River into Lake Superior
2) The Nelson River into the Hudson Bay
3) The Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico
Almost aced it! Just missed the population question.
The second comment is a bit of a trick question. The answer would be 2. The Nelson River into Hudson Bay but is Hudson Bay a bay of the Arctic Ocean or the Atlantic? My research couldn't find a definitive answer for that. However the watershed that drains north into Hudson Bay is called the Arctic Watershed.
The actual route of water from Red Lake would be something like this: south via Chukuni River to the English River. South and then west on the English River to the Winnipeg River. West and northwest on the Winnipeg River to Lake Winnipeg. North on Lake Winnipeg to Nelson River which flows north to Hudson Bay.
