Great quiz! Really clear map and nice layout. Note that Cote D'Ivoire should have an e at the end (and please accept Ivory Coast as an alternate, even though it's not the offical name).

Can you accept some more alternates for Republic of the Congo, please? Rep Congo, for example! Agree, it's a really good map, and a really good quiz!

One nit-pick. You have two (visible) islands circled for Mauritius. The one to the south west is called Reunion and is part of France, not Mauritius. However, the rest of the circle is fairly representative of the area where the other islands held by Mauritius are.

Great job ♥ Scored a perfect 106/106. You could cut the time with a few minutes though.

Excellent quiz. For master sporclers, definitely too much time, but for the more novice sporclers, it's pretty perfect. 5 globes.

Great quiz! I especially like that you put the numbers in a sensible enough order that it was easy to find the next one on the map.

You might want to accept "rep congo" for Republic of the Congo.

You people all like this? I couldn't even figure out what I was supposed to do for a good 30 secs. The numbers are hard to find, then you have to scroll down, put in the countries and then go back to capitals? Right.

Great quiz. Is it possible to have the number of the clue you are guessing show up, as in other quizzes, so that you don't have to constantly scroll up and down to know which question you are answering? I believe its the same problem QuintFan was referring to.

I don't understand the people that think this quiz allows too much time. I know almost all of these but couldn't get half of them because I spent most of the time scrolling up and down the screen and trying to find the correct number to click. This quiz is an awesome idea, but unfortunately, it doesn't really show how much you know since you burn several seconds of the clock between each answer. If you subtract all the wasted seconds of this game you are left with only a few minutes at the most to complete a quiz that is relatively advanced even for those with above-average geography skills.

I agree with Fergenaprido. The quiz would be greatly improved by simply displaying the number of the current country/capital as part of the entry field prompt. This would completely eliminate the (frustrating) need for (repeatedly) scrolling down (and back up again) for reference.

Can't you just do them in order. You know, like starting at 1 and going to 53, and then starting at 1 again. You don't have to click on whichever random one you see first and do that, rinse and repeat.

I did this entire quiz and got them all right without scrolling up and down. you just have it so the map is at the top of your screen and just the box where you are typing at the bottom of the screen. You don't need to look to see which question you're answering, obviously they go in numerical order.

I agree about the scrolling. Also, being a bit thick, I didn't work out that it was countries first and then capitals. Can't you do them together in some way?

I've added South Sudan. I hope that's the last change in sub-Saharan Africa for awhile; it takes too long to edit. I can cope with Libya splitting into east and west but anything south of Senegal and I'm giving up.

The capital of Tanzania is actually Dar es Salaam. Also, the numbering problem is whack. The number of the question should show up above the text box-- I didn't have to scroll up and down, I just had to make sure I remembered which number I was on, but that took a lot of extra mind power to do this quiz.

enomo67, Dodoma is listed in the CIA World Factbook as the legislative capital and has become the de facto correct answer in Sporcle. According to Sporcle there is no way to list the number next to the answer box.

How is it that only 25% got Morocco and only 14% got Rabat when 62% got Windhoek?? Crazy, Sporcling world we live in, eh?

Is there any way to fix this so I don't have to constantly scroll up & down? And how do I set up email alerts when anyone responds to a post of mine?
