The countries of Malta, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, San Marino and the Vatican City have been excluded because they have no cities starting with "O".

I think it's too much time. I managed it in time with a LOT of guessing. The idea is great though.

Ah, I forgot Iceland. Thank you. And I may need to change Omsk, as it appears to be in the Asian part of Russia.

I think the time was fine, even with some guessing I got all but one by the end of time. And no wish to quit early. Great game!

Excellent quiz. Diacritics (accents) and other linguistic considerations helped somehow to limit the possibilities of the languages, and therefore of the countries, involved. But not completely. Orenburg makes me think of a Germanic, not a Slavic, city (but... in that country there's also a Sankt Peterburg!). And Odivelas completely baffled me. I would swear that it sounds like Lithuanian.

Great idea, but the answer for Czech Republic should really be Ostrava.

The Swedish city should be Oskarshamn, as O and Ö/Ø are entirely different letters in the Scandinavian languages. As opposed to the German umlaut, they're considered independent letters. It's just like the difference between O and Q in English.

Please put the first comment in the instructions or point to it from the instructions. I tried some of those countries several times.

Swedes won't count Ö as an O.

Please, replace Odivelas in the box of Portugal, with Oporto, which is the English name for Porto. Oporto has some 240,000 inhabitants and is Portugal's second most populous city. In addition, the right English name for Ostende in Belgium is Ostend.

Ö/Ó are considered separate letters in those languages, not just O with a diacritic.
