Updated for South Sudan. Hooray for imagined communities. Watch out for the World Bank and IMF -- they're killers.

Why aren't the UK countries and Greenland listed? Just curious. I think it would add to the game if you included those. But hey, I already know them so I suppose it won't affect me! Good game. Thanks for creating it. It really helps me with my memorization. I am up to 142. Going for all ;)

finally 195 (after months of trying)!!! forgot nauru... cia factbook says they don't have a capital for some reason

Yeah, why aren't the countries in the UK separate? Because there's Edinburgh, Cardiff, London and Belfast in their own rights..
2011-07-28
leobold1
Prob cuz they're all part of the UK. Greenland is part of Denmark.

Finally 196/196! Took about a week to learn them all. I would imagine the UK countries aren't included separately because they're not sovereign states in their own right.

Uh, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the capital of Palau is Melekeok. Or at least according to the CIA factbook...

Why is the capital of the Netherlands listed as Amsterdam or The Hague? Amsterdam is the only right answer.

Love this quiz - it's helped me learn so many capitals

I also thought Melekeok was Palau's. I think Ashkabad should be accepted for Ashgabat. I have never seen it as Ashgabat. Also, this quiz does not have enough time, especially when you have to keep scrolling down to see the next country.

There's plenty of time for this quiz - I only have 5 capitals that I haven't learnt yet, but I still finish the quiz with 2.30 minutes left - plenty of time to write in the couple that I miss

Only right answer for the Netherlands is Amsterdam. The Hague is the political centre, not the capital.

the quiz gives enough time for me, but it may not be enough time for people who don't type very fast. great stuff! and thanks for adding south sudan! :)

Sana should be acceptable for the Capital of Yemen. The front page of the New York Times had the city's name spelled as such last week.
2011-10-03
Jaq
I'm pretty sure Sana is accepted - half the time it accepts my answer before I can even type the second 'a'
Quizmaster replies:
Sana was accepted in another quiz - now it is accepted in this quiz too...

a) you need at least 5 more minutes... and b) i'm sure tirana can also be tirane

Nice quiz! The Hague is not the capital city of the Netherlands, it's Amsterdam. I see you include both, but The Hague is where our government is situated. (I live in the Netherlands). The same story with Bolivia, Sucre is the capital city, La Paz is where the government is situated. I understand why you put in both, but I think it's more fun to just include Amsterdam and Sucre :)

I know all the countries of the world but I only knew 23 capitals. Bit of a fail on my part :(

I only got st vincent and the grenadines because of jamaica otherwise wouldn't have got which would bring my score to 116

Quizmaster, capital of The Netherlands is Amsterdam, not "or The Hague". The Hague is where the government is. The Netherlands is the only country in the world where the governement is not in the capital of the country. And many names are spelled differently in different languages, the bot just accepts english variations. Great quizzees! Cheerio all!

If they remove the Hague, you'll only have people asking for it to be put back in again...

stupid me i typed Sri Jayewirdenepura Kotte

Done with 3:13 left. It's good that Melekeok is accepted because it is the official capital of Palau. I also don't think that when writing "Kingston", as in Jamaica, it should reveal the capital of St Vincent and Grenadines. Great quiz though
