Sadly Ouaga is accepted now. Why can't we learn to spell correctly?!

I know - it's really putting me off Jetpunk altogether. The number of times my answer somehow starts with an E or some other missing letter from the previous answer just because an 'alternate' (read incorrect) version of spelling was accepted.

Yet we need to fully spell "Republic" when it's quite clear what's going to follow when you type Dominican Rep... :p

I thought Ouaga, Georgetown, and Bloemfontein had particularly good clues.

Lilylee is correct, and Lisbon is definitely the answer. If you're still not convinced, measure it with a piece of string on a globe.

4843km is Google's suggested quickest route to drive between the two, not distance as the crow flies. It involves driving through Belarus, Poland, Germany and Denmark, where you catch a ferry to Iceland. The ferry arrives at the east of the island, you then drive around the north of Iceland to get to Rejkavik. This is nothing like a straight line!

It's still saying this 1 year and 2 days after I took it. I thought the glitch would've cleared.

It'll likely think that forever for your previous attempt. Try it again now, and let me know how long it thinks you took - it should come up with something sensible.

I let it run down to 2 seconds left and it still lists my best time as 0:00. I've had this happen on several quizzes. Presumably I'm not the only one, but I've never seen anyone else mention it.
