Careful, typing 'Buenos Aires' as the first answer makes all other 'Buenos Aires' answers appear! I assume it's not deliberate. Unfortunately this problem happens when you do 'map grid text' and there's answers that appears more than once and you're using the 'yellow box' option

Yes I know. It seems to be a design element when the yellow box is combined with quizzes where more than one answer is the same, and there seems to be no way of setting it up so you only get the credit for the yellow box answer you reply to. .

To fix it manually, you have to select each answer and assign it to a 'different' buenos aires.

What I've done in similar cases, is call the answers BuenosAires1, BuenosAires2 etc.

Then when the quiz is ready, before submitting it I go and remove all the numbers at the end of the answers

Great concept, but I have multiple issues with this quiz. First, some of these "capitals" are of countries that are not well-recognized. You are clearly not using the Jetpunk standard 196 countries. Second, there are numerous shortcuts that need to be accepted. You don't want someone to type in Bandar and assume it's wrong only to find out that the correct answer is Bandar Seri Begawan, for example. Third, I am not certain that the answers are entirely correct. For example, since you do count Torshavn and Nuuk, how is the answer for Reykjavik not one of those but rather Dublin?

Hi JBluow, Re your first point: have you investigated the relevant capitals and determined for yourself which countries you consider to be countries, or are you just parroting a template here? This is a serious question. Too many times I have seen comments that are clearly not the result of their own research, but repeating others views. The clue capitals are indeed drawn from Countries 1 to 205, and I do believe that all 205 nations are indeed countries. Your second point: agreed, some type-ins had been missed out - now fixed. Your third point: notwithstanding (1) above, please note the instructions that apply to this quiz.

Eventhough I suck at capitals besides europe and south america, I think this one really should be featured (if its the original) nominated.

It has only been taken 150 times! You'd think it would be very popular
