Original quiz, very nice! Time is perfect too

I keep telling myself I should revise Oceanian capitals...

Excellent quiz! The map beautifully explains the concept of the question!

I'd also love a version without the countries' borders represented :)

It's sort of hard to distinguish when a region has been guessed or not. The shade of green isn't very dark.

The map gives it away! How about removing the map from this quiz? (or maybe only displaying it to explain the answers)

some answers are quite strange. Why including Brasilia and Mexico, but not Caracas that is closer to Equator, for example ? why not Kinshasa ?

Weird... don't get it

If you were travelling on the equator, it's figuring out which capital is closest to you from any point you are at along the equator. There's no point where Caracas is closer to you than another capital. Does that make sense?

Turns out many of the capitals I struggle with are near the equator...

It's very hard to distinguish when a region has been guessed. I think either change the color scheme when a region has been guessed, or add some time.
