    		The highest point in the Netherlands is Vaalserberg, or Mt Vaals, at 322m above sea level. If you include the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the highest point is Mt Scenery on Saba Island, at 888m.

    The third largest island in the world is either Borneo or New guinea, depending on whether you call Australia a continent or an island.

    But since each of these islands has multiple provinces, I cannot decide on "the head" and work out how to choose from the various possibilities. And the fruit isn't jumping out at me, either. Perhaps someone else can take it from here? I'll check back when I get home this evening!

    		Correct!

    Saba island contains the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
    Saba is a banana that is usually cooked before eating.
    Sabah is at the "head" of the third largest island in the world, Borneo, when looking at a map.
