	Tried a number of variations Yerevan, including Yaraven, Yeravan, Yaravan. Dismissed it as wrong in the end!

	If Nuuk was to be accepted, so should the capitals of Svalbard, Faroe Islands, Shetland Islands, Åland and numerous other dependencies also be accepted - in short, no.

	I missed Jerusalem because I thought of Telaviv as being the capital of Israel...

	Fun quiz-- interesting to think of capitals from this angle.

	@SamGangee: because I've been in Sporcle for more than two years, I know that definitely the capital of Israel is Jerusalem. Because I've been in Sporcle for more than two years, I try Jakarta and Juba but don't think of Jerusalem.

	Who would say that the northernmost capital with the Q (Quito) is in the southern hemisphere? Only thanks to Sporcle we can aquire that knowledge!

	@osasunaitor: it's not a big surprise, considering that Quito is the only capital beginning with Q. If the quiz were made for southernmost capitals, even Zagreb (at about 45º N latitude) would appear as the southernmost one beginning with Z, again because it's the only one. (By the way, I would have preferred a southernmost capitals quiz instead... it's always nice to see one's own city appearing in a quiz).

	Great quiz.Starts off easy then gets really hard for the last few capitals.

	I seem to have a blind spot for the Netherlands. I was convinced that the answer to A was Andorra la Vella...

N		35°10'N
O		59°56'N
P		50°05'N

	In my opinion there's too much time for this quiz. I had three answers left for the last 6-7 minutes, and then I had plenty of time to go through Central America and Africa to get them.

	By the way, a useful fact in quizzes like this: There are four letters that are initial for only one capital, and they are... Q, U, I, Z!

	I was amazed to find that Prague is north of Paris - so much so that I had to check it on a map. I have been humbled and educated. Thank-you again Sporcle, (and Fritzer!).

	Me too Matt, I had Sporclitis bad on the P one, I tried Paris first, then Pyongyang, then Praia and Panama City before I finally figured out what I had skipped over.

	Is-lama-bad? Depends on what you're doing!
