Sure - please feel free to go ahead with applying the nearest-country-starting-with-a-letter concept to capital cities! I was planning to do some myself, but I'm happy to share them. You go first!
Clearly you didn't intend to replicate my design! If I see a copy I will note it out to them in the comments (not as harshly as you've seen the other person running quizzer6794 do!). I remember skipping that because it's 60 seconds. But 30 seconds is good enough for a nice time challenge :)
Anyway, I wish I could say that both people of quizzer6794 apologize for the comments, but I can't :( The cons of running a dual account, I guess.
-Aman : )
Tip: for future reference, tell your 'colleague' to take 'deep breaths' and try to calm down if he feels like he will 'rage out'.
