Closest Capital City Pairs #1

Interesting

If you found this interesting you may enjoy this quiz I made:

Adjacent Capital Pair Superlatives

very interesting quiz! 100%

that was a great quiz!!! really had to use the brain. How about try nearest large city?? or nearest US capitals

Very interesting.

A sub-saharan Africa or Oceania one would definitely ratchet it up

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

Sucre, 435 miles is closer to La Paz than Lima, 680 miles.

There is nothing in the description that says they can't be from the same country.

Loved this, but I could've used another minute or two! Great job.

You should except Kuwait for Kuwait City.

I'm with geoman2. Kuwait alone should be accepted as well.

Yes, I tried that too..

you seem to have my username

Nice quiz! I think there should have been more time, though

how didn't i think of vatican city! got all but that one! feel very stupid

Very good, interesting consept!

That Rome question almost tripped me up

Same. For a long time I completely forgot Vatican City existed :P

Very smart to forget about both Canada and the Vatican. I tried all of Balkans and North Africa for Rome. Should've tried Valletta too but didn't think of that one.

Got them all with 00:05 left. It took me a long time to think about Taipei and Reykjavík ones.

I was stuck on Rome forever...it was a tricky question

how did i not get panama

First try, no warm up.

one of the funnest quizzes I've ever completely failed

Good quiz, enjoyed that,........ By the way, if you find this quiz easy, try my........ 'Mal's European Closest Capitals Hopscotch' ..........quiz

Totally blew the Rome one. I was guessing every capital and getting mad they were not working. Duh!

Good quiz. It would make it much better if you could find the distances and get them to appear after the capital is guessed, so as not to give it away. Well done though.

On the next one, you should put 'Tel Aviv' as the clue and have the answer 'Jerusalem', that'd stir up the whole Israel and Palestine debate.

What about Rome and the Vatican City? You can literally step from one to the other.

Lol we hear so much about Toronto, that often Canadians forget that too

Not trying to be too political, but is there any reason why tel aviv is not recognised here as the capital despite it being recognised by most UN municipalities as the defacto capital until Israel-Palestine sort their desputes which will be never? I think it's only the US and Israel that consider it to be the capital yeah?

It's not a de-facto capital at all. The official functioning capital of Israel is Jerusalem. The Knesset is in Jerusalem. Foreign embassies are in Tel Aviv, but the capital of a country, de facto or otherwise, is not defined as where foreign embassies are located. The only reason embassies are located in Tel Aviv is to avoid pissing off Muslim countries that don't want to recognize Israeli control over Jerusalem.

Yeah, not sure why this is so hard. Israel gets to choose the location for their capital, not the UN and not anyone else. And it's in Jerusalem. Kalbahamut is 100% right that the embassy locations are all about pressure from Muslim countries.

I always read Closest Capital City Paris

You should add more different spellings for Pyongyang. At least Pchyongyang and Pchjongjang and probably more, it's a difficult one to rewrite.

Good job! This quiz is amazing.

Good quiz and nice job getting featured second one!

Agree, I love this quiz idea

Cool knowledge:

Panama City is a city located in Northern Florida,too.

This is was pretty easy for me, just a couple ones I struggled with a little.
