I must be the world's worst geographer. I got 5.
58% of you know Madagascar's capital, 49% know Samoa's and Turkmenistan's and 47% know Eritrea's.
Unless there's another explanation of how people could have written the correct answers while having access to the internet. LOL
I did know all of them you wrote.. Actually the last one for me to remember was Amsterdam lol.
Most people here, have already made other capitol/country/flag quizzes
and I think these percentages include people who have done the quiz more than once, but not sure about it.
The people who do the quiz before it reaches the front page are always going to get the most correct, so they massively distort the results. However it has been a couple of hours since you commented and already the percentages have fallen by about 5% points each. So the people doing it today are more likely to be getting results similar to yours.
Seems like Côte d'Ivoire's capital (Abidjan) is missing... Or maybe not, since it's the economic capital, and not political. Perhaps you should be more specific in the description?
According to Yamoussoukro's Wikipedia page: "Yamoussoukro is one of the two political capitals [...] of Ivory Coast". So (three years later) my questions remains.
Oh good lord. I thought of Antananarivo, but I didn't type it in because I was currently working on the Asian capitals. Then later when I moved on to Africa, it didn't come to mind. How dumb is that?
Kazakhstan should get its act together. The capital used to be Alma-Ata, which got renamed to Almaty. Then the capital was moved to Akmola, which used to be called Tselinograd before, which before that was called Akmolinsk, which even before that was called Akmoly. But after becoming the capital its name was changed to Astana, and now it has been changed to Nur-Sultan. *sigh*
Well, with Nur-Sultan, the first change (Akmola -> Tselinograd) was due to the town becoming a city (and because it was during the Soviet times). Then it reverted back to Akmola after the fall of the USSR. Then, in order to make notice that its was the new Kazakh capital, they renamed it simply as Astana, wich is Capital in Kazakh (This is nothing new, as Seoul falls on the same category). However, this was seen by many as a placeholder, as they expected the city would be renamed for Nursultan Nazarbayev at some point. This finally happened after his 2 decades-long presidency ended.
