	I like this new quiz format and also the quiz itself. A capital idea!

	It's Tirana. Also, Netherlands without 'the', that's how it is here on Sporcle.

	I didn't have to spell 'Reykjavik' right for once. Thank goodness.

	The capital of Albania is Tirana, not Tirane.

	dancastro:	Apr 3rd, 2012 at 12:20 GMT		26 points
	^ I think it's both, Tirana in English and Tirane (with an umlaut over the e, if I remember well) in Albanian. But as all the other names are in English (no Roma, Lisboa, Moskva, Wien, Praha, etc.), you're right: for the sake of consistency "Tirana" should appear.

	Thanks for the publish sporcle! On the Tirane/Tirana issue, I agree that "Tirana" is more correct, but I was just using the spelling that the sporcle "Capitals of Europe" quiz uses.

	Good quiz! I like this type of quiz as a diversion from the standard, but I think the other version has its value as well. For the other, you have to learn how to spell the capital, which is a good thing.

	Some of the answers, like the ones for Luxembourg, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City are incredibly hard!!!

	Liking the new quiz format. So much faster especially when I can't spell the capital of Iceland.

	To me, it plays a lot like the game show Winning Lines. In fact, it might be neat if the qualities of the American version of the game (with limited numbers of passes, missed questions, and even limitations on the number and duration of pauses) could be implemented.

	@zewa - oops (smh) *yugoslav! darn im dumb sometimes.

	Ooh, I always get me balkans in a muddle.

	walkalong:	Apr 3rd, 2012 at 22:00 GMT		5 points
	It is too cruel to give me all the western eauropean countries first to completely boost my confidence then bombard me with a surprise attack of balkans

	Only thing I don't like about this new quiz format- I saw "Luxembourg" and for no reason at all thought "Liechtenstein", right in the middle of clicking Vaduz I realized it, but couldn't correct it. But overall it's absolutely awesome.

	Having to think of all these capitals is awesome. I know a good amount of them, but still had to spend ages going through the choices, and generally getting it wrong. A great workout for memory.

	This quiz made me feel stupid :(

	omnipotent1:	Apr 5th, 2012 at 01:34 GMT		4 points
	My memory of world capitals is definitely told to the old map formats. A lot of the countries- especially the Balkans and former USSR- I had to picture the map in my head with the capital written for it.

	Sarajevo is such a cool name

	tja10201:	Apr 6th, 2012 at 05:46 GMT		6 points
	I have done this quiz several times already, and it keeps reminding me how much I need to re-study my European capitals!

	Thank you APOEL Nicosia for advancing to the UEFA Champions League Quarterfinals so that I'm familiar enough to think "Cyprus" (or at least "APOEL") when I see "Nicosia"

	dumbgai:	Apr 8th, 2012 at 19:49 GMT		5 points
	Great use of the new quiz format! Also interesting would be to do the reverse: clicking from a list of capitals as each country is shown.

	riverbanana:	Apr 9th, 2012 at 14:43 GMT		2 points
	awesome quiz! :D

	Pedroia15:	Apr 17th, 2012 at 04:02 GMT		11 points
	Wow... You know you're too tired when you see "Monaco" and then search in vain for "Rabat". Doh.

	@youngglenfarg Wales and Scotland (And England too for that matter) come under the United Kingdom as their country, so London would be their capital city. As to the quiz, great fun. Was left with five eastern european capitals, think my heart stopped with each capital click! Great use of the new system. On to converting the rest of the quizzes!

	I'm British. I am currently watching our home Olympics. What's the capital of the United Kingdom... oh no, I can't remember. Facepalm of the year.

	Curse the break up of the Sovet Union and Balkan territories! (merely as far as this quiz is concerned, obviously)

	Holy S#*^!!! I was 45 for 45 with 2 more to go, France and Italy. Italy comes up... Paris... "Facepalm".
