they sort of have two, colombo is the city, Sri JK is a district in the city (as far as i'm aware), I believe Colombo is more of a tourist capital and SJK is the official capital.

tshalla

level 66

Apr 6, 2018

Well, just for the sake of this argument, I decided to try typing "Delhi" for India (it worked) and "Colombo" for Sri Lanka (it didn't). At the least, there's an inconsistency there. Colombo, by the way, isn't a "tourist capital." It's the political and economic centre of the country. Also, am I wrong about this? Isn't "D.C." just a common convenience used in the U.S. to distinguish the city from the state? If so, "D.C." shouldn't appear on a list of world capitals any more than "D.F." should for Mexico City (for example).

The D.C in Washington D.C Means Dictict of Columbia

AdamH

level 57

Jun 12, 2018

The official name of the U.S. capital is the District of Columbia, not Washington or Washington, D.C. Since 2016, Mexico City no longer officially called itself Distrito Federal. It's no officially la Ciudad de Mexico. Therefore, this is completely consistent even if we were talking about official names. Additionally, we're talking about names in English. Roma won't work for Rome, will it? So it's consistent in that way as well. Mexico City is not named "D.F." or "F.D." in English.

qcumber

No the official name is Washington. District of Columbia is just the territory around it, set aside from any one state.

cyninoregon

Oct 20, 2017

If you start in America, and work to the right--guessing more people are here and we read to the right in English--the last you come to is Oceania, so when you run out of time, that's undone--adding to lower numbers for Oceania. We all probably spent time working up to having them all memorized too, so what's undone is what's last as you think and think... These are typing races for those of us who never really typed (not enough classes if you were college prep in my day). So, although I'm getting closer when I practice, I sure have pulled down Oceania's ratings!

nauru should be excluded. it doesnt have a capital yaren district isnt a capital but a district...and a quarter of naurus land area.

Why? Most of the government buildings are in Yaren, so it's practically its capital.

Jerry928

From Wikipedia: Yaren is usually listed as the capital of Nauru though this is incorrect; the republic does not have cities or an official capital. Yaren is accepted by the United Nations as the "main district".

Aesthus

Vatican City is four quarters of its country's area. Last I checked size relative to the country doesn't have anything to do with ability to be the capital. It's just that Nauru is really, really small.

And yes, YOLO, except not according to a video that said a boy once said "in my past life I was murdered by an ax". The boy brought his family to a village and said "this is where it happened". It turned out there had recently been a murder there with an ax, and the village officials had not found the culprit. The boy gave a description of the man, and he was found. The man confessed to committing the murder. So maybe you don't always live once.

Aesthus

That's because Quizmaster is of the belief that Palestine isn't a country. And I heartily agree. It would be fine if they had just taken one of Israel's five attempted two-nation systems, but no.

Thomas739945

This creator is probably from the United States and the United States does not recognize Jerusalem as Palestine's capital. The US recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Palestine claims East Jerusalem as the capital while Israel does not recognize Palestine therefore recognizing all of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

There are not 196 "nations". What this quiz deals with is sovereign states. The "United Nations" is also a misnomer. The Kurds are a nation, so are the Inuit, Tatars, Tibetans, as well as German, Irish, Greek and Japanese. Conversely Vatican City citizens do not constitute a nation. Somewhat grey area, but contemporary usage is way off.

There are 193 UN members and 206 effectively sovereign states plus one sovereign entity. This quiz takes the UN members and adds the Vatican (a UN observer), Taiwan (an ex-UN member) and Kosovo (recognised by over half the UN membership). The remaining 10 are more controversial, either lacking recognition (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, South Ossetia, Somaliland and Ashkelia) or not being fully sovereign despite having some UN recognition (Cook Islands, Palestinian Territories, Niue). The entity is the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta - which is a UN observer!!!

Can I respectfully request that the time be extended by a minute or two. This should be a test of knowledge not typing speed. As a two finger typist I just can't complete them all in time. For the periodic table of elements (118 elements) you get 12 minutes, which I can do with a minute to spare. Here there are 196 answers required in 12 minutes also (3.6 seconds per answer). I think 5 seconds per answer would be more reasonable.

Keep practicing. You get quicker bit by bit. I used to run out of time but I've just done it with 2 mins to spare. I'm also now a much better typist! Try bunching things together. For example, there are 6 "Ports" so just rattle these off. And just typing "Ouagad" and "Kotte" and "Bandar" etc works.

Switzerland is not in the EU or the Eurozone. They are still in Europe. The correct way to define this kind of thing is by geographical location, and Cyprus lies closer to Asia than to Europe.

Finally did it fairly fast. Broke my record and did in 7:28 Seconds, with 4:32 left. I can see if you typed perfectly and remembered all the locations where you could break 7 minutes. I lost seconds on misspellings and had to see which city I missed which took a good 8 seconds to find I forgot to fill in Ankara Turkey. This is a great quiz for extending those brain cells and hand eye coordination! Not bad for a 62 year old.

I know all the capitals by heart. Obviously when I'm running through them I can have brain farts and it takes me a second. Still, I know them pretty well. And I finished this with 9 seconds left. Part of the goal of things like this is to learn. Hard to learn when you don't have time to practice retrieving the information. This is a typing quiz, because there is no way anyone who doesn't already know the capitals cold gets through it. Let people work on their memory aids and take a breath between each one. Just my opinion.

So it would seem. Bandar I sort of understand as it really is Bandar Seri Bagawan, but Kotte is universal. Also, Riyad is accepted without the H (Riyadh) and so Vientian without the E (Vientiane). I think this was a bad update.

CHISINAU no longer works - what has happened? When the answers come up, it is 'Chișinău', so it is now necessary to type in the special 's' and 'a' characters (I don't have those on my keyboard)? Out of curiosity, I tried the Europe Capitals Quiz and the same problem happened but, I left this quiz open on a separate tab and, when Chisinau wouldn't work, I copied and pasted the answer from this quiz onto the Europe quiz and it worked... For those who may be worried, I wasn't cheating as I've completed both quizzes multiple times and only doing some investigative work...
