nice! is Praia missing? also, for Oceania, I wouldn't include Nuku'alofa and Apia since within Oceania they are actually the easternmost

Regardless of what you do with Nuku'alofa and Apia, Ngerulmud is farther east than Port Moresby.

One of the few African capitals I have fully memorize. 1 less out of my score doesn't really change anything, I still missed 3 in Asia (knew the country, forgot the city), and 2 in Oceania (again, knew the countries, forgot the capitals). I thought Rabat might be a correct answer for Africa, but knew it was a stretch. Still, most maps show Cabo being pretty far off the shoreline of Africa, and, tho Praia is one of its easternmost cities, it is definitely the westernmost African capital. I wish the creator would've edited the directions n just added, not including Praia so test takers don't type Praia 10+ times. Once i realized Praia wasn't one of the accepted answers, I put the 2 far west African capital names I have memorize. The capitals of Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.

I checked google maps to be absolutely sure and yeah. Easternmost point of Praia is still 6 full degrees further west than westernmost point of Dakar. I wonder what made them miss Praia when making it.

There's a mistake in the Oceania one. Palikir and Honiara are the next furthers west after Ngerulmud, Port Moresby and Canberra. Apia and Nukualofa are actually the furthest East.

The fact that Apia and Nuku'alofa are on the list makes the quiz really cool - a good trap, that I certainly fell into. Gets ya thinkin'.
