Indeed, at only 1°21' N, South Tarawa should be included.

Count Bujumbura for Gitega because it is too recent for some people to accept the change

My strategy for jetpunk quiz - “if you think it, type it. If it’s wrong, move on”.

I sometimes miss answers cause I keep debating in my head ‘will it or won’t it’.

On this quiz I was debating with Central African Republic but I still ended up missing it cause I confused it with N’djamena.
