Just did this again- still one of my favorites- but this time there was some weird issue where I had to type in Lisbon, Castries, and Kathmandu at the top of each column, then got an error when I correctly guessed 199/196.

This was hellish and brilliant. Couple of notes: Astana should be Nur-Sultan and Jetpunk standard is to use Ngerulmud for Palau. Also needs a type-in: FSM for Micronesia. Seriously though, brilliant quiz!

Ok, that was cool. Needs updating though as Astana is now Nur Sultan. I got stuck on Budapest to Ouagadougou for a while and that ended it for me...

I misread the instructions at first, so I had to give up on Reykjavik (XD) and Algiers. Then it began making sense, but the time is too low. It's a really hard mind exercise

Idea: Kiev should accept Kyiv
