What's your source? Some of these don't seem right to me. The distance from Tblisi to Yerevan, for instance, is given in Google maps as 272Km by road and you have given it as 29. I travelled between the two by rail and it was an overnight journey (about 12 or 13 hours if I remember right). Now, maybe it wasn't a high-speed train but if your measurement is correct, it must have been going at about 2kph and it would certainly have been quicker to walk.

You are correct! I had started out by calculating the distance between all 196 capitals in all possible combinations myself, but then realized that surely somebody must have already done that and would save me hours of spreadsheet calculations... I does seem that a rough straight line distance from GoogleEarth between Yerevan and Tbilisi is closer to 170km... Did you notice any other weird one? I might have to recheck all my numbers manually...

I am finding many more mistakes... I will have to check all the numbers again.

I have fixed the answers. Thank you for pointing out my mistakes. Let me know if you see anything else that doesn't add up!
