Technically, a continent is not considered to be an island. The smallest island is actually Greenland.
Technically,Greenland is the LARGEST island. But not factually as per the record books.
The state of rhode island has the longest name but is the smallest state. The actual full name of Rhode Island is Rhode Island and Providence PLantations. So that teaser could probaly go many ways!
Oops! I meant largest island
Kidkilowatt, the teaser does say BIGGEST not LONGEST, nice try though.

Basic flaw in the question: Both records are in different categories. Michael Jackson can be the most, and least successful in tons of categories.
Many people debate on what Austrailia is: some say that it can't be an island because Islands are smaller than continents(that would make Greenland the largest island), and others say that Australia is an island.
or you could say that the answer is a neutron, since it's bigger than protons or electrons, but it's smaller than an atom
We live on an island continent.
