Nice! Minor suggestion: either specify both latitudes of the Bolivian capitals or put one of the two capitals in brackets

I just put one in brackets because that capital would qualify 6th. Just to be fair.

And something similar to how you manage the La Paz / Sucre thing might need to be also worked out for Cape Town / Bloemfontein / Pretoria. Otherwise, another fun quiz!

Cape Town? Bloemfontein? Pretoria isn't South Africa's only capital!

The way you've dealt with South Africa only created a bigger mess. Now South Africa is represented by two capitals, unlike all other countries. What's more, the order of the African capitals is confusing. Although both Cape Town and Bloemfontein are further south than some others, they're put at the bottom of the list.

There should be only one capital/country in this quiz.

Allow "Panama" for Panama City?

I personally like the fact that South Africa's capitals are included separately, and the title of the quiz does allow for this, but there really, really should be a caveat about it, or it's quite annoying.

Fair point, hopefully it will clear things up :)

Can you accept Panama for Panama City? That's what I typed in, and I was like "Huh? I wonder why Panama City isn't here?" and so I skipped it.

To be consistent you need to accept only Sucre for fifth capital in South America.

"Panama" is a near-universal type-in for Panama City.
