Also loved it but found it unexpectedly difficult. More time would be great.

And Astana should be removed now that it's been renamed. Cotonou should probably also go, as it's not technically the capital of Benin.

Nice idea, but needs way more time. I figured there's no time to think and just started guessing random capitals.

Great quiz; needs more time though. And the capital of Kazakhstan is no longer named Astana!

An unfortunate quiz with answers accepted but incorrect, correct for more than one category but only listed in one and correct but not accepted.

From each category: accepted but incorrect Astana, and Cotonou are not capital cities. For more than one category Sri Jaiwardenapura Kote should be listed for both DE and IJ. Correct but not accepted Bandar Seri Bagawan should go in RS.

An unfortunate comment. Capital names are taken from Jetpunk's capital city quiz, as stated in the caveats. Cotonou is included there, so Cotonou is included here. Take it up with Quizmaster.

I've added a caveat about letter pairs spanning different words, as in Sri Jai... and Bandar Seri... It was never my intention to include those examples, but it's now official.

In what way is Astana incorrect?
