Rats- 79/80 on the whole series, I finally missed the last one. Pretty proud of thinking of Riyadh, even though it qualifies for all the wrong reasons.

This is an excellent series, I like it way more than country one. Hope to see more!

The university in question is strategically placed right off the main road going to the airport. I used to work for the company that was in charge of staffing the place. Turnover rate was astounding.

This was a really tricky question, because the answer could conceivably have been the capital of a really progressive country, or that of a really backward ultra-religious one.

Someday I'll spell Riyadh correctly. Lol. Clearly my brain wasn't working though as I school boy-ed on on the 16th question.

"Shares its name with a city in California's Bay Area" could also be Dublin

As someone who lives in a city bordering Dublin, that's what I typed.

I think Pretoria should also be accepted as the southernmost African capital.

Definitely not! Pretoria is not the southernmost. Five capitals are further south: Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Maseru, Mbabane and Maputo.

Couldn't believe that Maseru and Mbabane are further South than Pretoria, but you're right! It's very close, but you're right. Very cool.

Let's be honest. Now that we know Stalin learned to become a priest, all of us wish he would've become a priest and not done all those other things.

Am I the only one who saw the 'Starts and ends in O' clue, and immediately started typing Ouagadougou, then got to the end, and realized, darn, that doesn't end in 'o'!

Nope, I did the exact same thing. I spent forever trying to spell it right only to realize it ended with U, then couldn't think of the right answer.

Although Montevideo is located on the northern coast of Rio De La Plata, but surprisingly Buenos Aires, located on the southern shore, is northern than Montevideo.

No type in for Tbilisi? I always try to write it in french, my mother language, where it takes two s's.
