Is Roseau really a hard one to think of?

No,..but also Rosseau is not in North America, there are only three capitals in North America, Ottawa, Washington and Mexico City. So by hinting North America that confuses people. Rosseau is not on any continent: its in the Caribbean which is not considered part of any country (and neither is the Bahamas, itself not a part of the Caribbean either)

Uh, You realize that all of the caribbean with the exception of Trinidad and Tobago being partially debatable, and all of Central America(Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama) are unconditionally part of North America. Maybe you think that it's only 3 countries, but, especially on this quiz site, there are a lot more than 3 countries in North America.

you're so ignorant. You realize that all of the Caribbean is North America and not just the three biggest countries. And Central America is considered North America.

Um, actually, I have a bigger brain than all of you so I will use my superior intelligence to clarify what you troglodytes are too simple to understand.

Mexico is in America, Bahamas are in Trinidad, Puerto Rico is in south America, Panama is in Turkey, and Cyprus is in the Mediterranean Ocean. Everyone can shut up now

Eatrtrig - Honestly, Ravens just has no life and wants to show off his "Potential 6/6 skill", but the reality is that he probably didn't know any of them, and just googled "world capitals that begin with r". Anyone who wants to show off skill on the internet is probably couch potato that doesn't have anything else to do with his/her life, so there. I'm with you.

You miss 1 in 5 and gets 3 points? That doesn't seem OK.

Level 59
Jan 20, 2020
I think the scoring system is based off of the percentile of people who get up to a certain point, and almost 1/2 got 6/6, deeming that you get 3 instead of 4 points. This is my guess though, I don't have confirmation.

If we didn't have the continents, Roseau would be hard, but there aren't that many countries in North America, so its quite possible to just run through them all till you get the answer.

Roseau was actually the first capital starting with R that I could think of, but it helps to be North American.

and Ramallah isn't even the official capital. Not that there really is one. It's just where the PNA is headquartered.

So you are saying Jerusalem is the capital? It is Israel's capital, and it can only be the capital of one nation. Israel gets to choose whether or not they share their holy land with a murderous terrorist organization.

Even if Palestine was a country (in my opinion it should) its capital would be East Jerusalem
