	"Mountie: They took her to the capital for a free mental health examination. Bud: Good. The capital, Toronto. Mountie: No. the capital of Canada is Ottawa. Bud: Hahaha. Yeah, right. Do we look that stupid? Ottawa! Alright boys, we're going to Toronto!"

	@EmYanks2001: Fortunately no-one died in the Kyrgyzstan air crash, but some were injured.

	Way beyond me! I did get the four I knew correct - and I guessed another four correctly. Good thing I wasn't taking a test critical to keeping my job! I'd be unemployed.

	Damn I always thought Beijing was the capital of Mexico.

	I never remember Dakar-Dhaka for Senegal-Bangladesh.

	Nice quiz, but imo too much time for it. You could include Yaounde and Yamoussoukro, Kampala and Kigali/Kinshasa, Maputo and Majuro and there are probably more of those pairs.

	Great quiz! Congrats and thanks.

	Thank you so much for publishing my quiz, Sporcle! :) And I'm even more happy because this is the first quiz I get published and it's my birthday today (I turn 15)! :)(:

	geomonkey:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 20:23 GMT		4 points
	Good quiz. I was glad to see that the Costa Rica question didn't ask for us to decide between San Jose and San Juan, that would have tripped up a lot of people. Also, happy birthday! (my birthday's tomorrow!)

	Hominid:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 20:27 GMT		6 points
	About eighty people thought that Beijing was the capital of Mexico.

	alicat:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 20:30 GMT		3 points
	Another sign of advancing age: When did they change some of these? How am I supposed to keep up? Oh, yeah — Sporcle! :-P Thanx for the fun! P.S. I can remember Senegal because of the Paris-Dakar race, which went through Mali before I lived there, capital Bamako - STILL, thank goodness. :-)

	matt01:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 23:47 GMT		3 points
	A fun one to do would be Australia - Canberra or Sydney? Because there still seems to be a large portion of people convinced Sydney is the capital, or to a lesser extent Melbourne.

	chikka2:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 19:35 GMT		4 points
	Bladselleri, thanks for the great quiz. You have a long and illustrious Sporcle future ahead of you

	I did horrible. I should have just typed "No" to the question posed by the quiz. I would have done nearly as well, heh.

	@matt01: There was a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire question asking the capital of Australia; the guy asked the audience and the majority responded Sydney.
