	Asia is hard because it is so wide. Hard to think North to South there

	Spelling Central Asian and Oceanic Capitols: The Quiz. Now with extra Reykjavik! Fun quiz. Asia really threw me off.

	I may just be slow, but more time would be nice. I didn't even get to North America or Oceania because I was busy with Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe.

	This quiz has everything, including Sporcler's favourite K country. 5 globes!

	Moscow isn't in Asia, but because Russia largely is, it gets listed there. By this logic, #1 in South America should be Paris.

	linuxlinus does have a point but maybe it should be continuous land otherwise it opens a can of worms. Madrid for Africa?, Copenhagen for North America? etc but tbh we all know what the quiz was asking for.

	I agree with Linuxlinus completely. It should be capitals only within each continent. Moscow isn't in Asia, ergo it shouldn't be on this "Asia" column.

	@LinuxLinus: Moscow gets listed in Asia because most of the land area of Russia is in Asia. Paris does not get listed in South America because most of the land area of France is not in South America: Metropolitan France is much bigger than French Guiana. That said, I do agree with you - Moscow should only be listed in Europe.

	The frustrating thing is I tried three different spellings of Ulan Bator. None of which worked. And I get caught off guard when a quiz uses only the transliteration of the Cyrillic spelling, assuming that this is somehow the "proper" spelling, because the Mongolians hate the Russian language being imposed upon them. My friend in the capital always spells it "Ulan Bator".

	@ChileNoseJam: A most-of-the-land-area standard would put Copenhagen in North America.

	longboard:	Jun 28th, 2012 at 04:09 GMT		3 points
	you should accept the variants for Ulan Bator, I tried several times with different spelling variations.

	Canberra for australia in oceania?

	mouthforhire:	Jul 4th, 2012 at 00:41 GMT		4 points
	@nethsen, Canberra is a LONG way south of the equator, and further south than every other capital in the world, let alone Oceania, except Wellington.

	nethsen:	Jul 9th, 2012 at 00:13 GMT		1 point
	I thought there were not very many countries in Oceania so Australia had to be on the list. You learn something new every day.

	Hako:	Jul 9th, 2012 at 14:36 GMT		2 points
	The idea for including Moscow was that Russia is considered an Asian country here on Sporcle, in the published quiz 'Capitals of Asia' Moscow is included too. Anyway, I cannot change it anymore.

	I sincerely thought that Japan and the Koreas were far more north than Turkey and the Caucasus countries. That makes me realize that although there may be some countries at high latitudes (Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan...), the average Asia is quite equatorial. And for the Mongolian capital affair: I always type "Ulaanbaatar" and it has never given me a problem, try it.
