Not sure about the inclusion of Spain/Canary Islands. But I really love these hard core quizzes that are ultimately highly educational.

I think it makes more sense to have those in the African one rather than the European one, and to exclude them from both wouldn't be "fair" :)

Actually, please don't feature it. It would only give people an incentive to cheat their way to 100%.

Can you please accept "Hargeisa" for "Hargeysa"?

That's the only way I've ever seen it spelled before.

How is the average score 67? I only got 36, and that's every African city i know except Pretoria.

Suddenly, quizzes like "Planets of the Solar System" and "Days of the Week" don't seem so silly.

Level 77
Nov 28, 2016
Got 46. See I missed at least 10 I know, including Yamoussoukro that I didn't know had that first o in it, and Yamoussukro wasn't accepted. Got George just because I tried guessing Georgetown, was kinda grasping at straws there.

Africa has a bad case of diplocarpon rosae.

Got 55 on my first try... I think I'll pass on learning all these places.

6% of people knew Jos, Gao, Hargeisa, and Tamale? Wow - that's pretty impressive!

Level 73
Nov 29, 2016
Sadly, I think people may remember Gao because of islamists takeover and the French Army operations to liberate the city. Or because of Civilization V I hope.

Nice quizz, very hard.

I don't understand why Madeira and Canaria Islands are port of it.

Could you accept Tanger for Tangier ?

I think geographically those islands belong to Africa. Tanger? ok, thanks for suggestion

Level 67
Jul 23, 2017
Wow... I got 18, and the highest I could've gotten was 22 because Dakar, Accra, Benghazi, and Suez slipped my mind completely. I also know Pretoria and Rabat but those don't seem to make the list. I'm feeling pretty ignorant right now.

Nchelenge is misplaced. Also, why is India missing?

Add St Louis as a type-in for Saint-Louis, and I realized the entire map is shifted slightly up to the right so the cities are all slightly misplaced causing many to be in the water now.
