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.

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
+1
level 56
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Countries put their embassies in Tel Aviv for the same reasons that they call Taiwan 'Chinese Taipei': because if they don't, someone will get really really mad, even if they're obviously wrong. Tel Aviv should only be on there if Palestine is considered a country, which by Jetpunk's (and most of the world's unofficial) standards it is not.

It doesn't matter if Palestine is a country or not the point is that Muslims want control of Jerusalem and therefore don't recognize it as part of Israel. They've convinced large parts of the world that Jerusalem has been illegally annexed to Israel (though for some reason when it was conquered by Muslim Jordan that was legal and perfectly fine?).

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.
