My own little experiment with the new format. The idea is to take advantage of the fact that you can't tell what the next clue will ask while giving you enough options so hopefully you don't "lose" on the first question. Let me know if you think this is any good!

Another common complaint that this seeks to avert is that you can't see your missed answers. Again, feedback on this appreciated. Hopefully we as a quiz-making community can get a handle on this format!

This is the best use of the format I've seen so far, mostly for the reasons you stated. I would recommend an attempt to order the letters by approximate difficulty; I spent half the time on R.

Doesn't appear to take Honiara, capital of the Solomon Islands, for H. (Don't ask why that was the first one I thought of).

Ok, problems fixed. Sorry everyone! Now hopefully this can live up to its potential a bit more, in this format such mistakes are game-breaking.

With over 60% getting 100% you could knock it down to a minute.

You may want to mention that it's just world capitals...spent forever trying to figure out how I was spelling "Montpelier" wrong.

I agree on the one minute. This is a blitz type quiz.

Wouldn't take Colombo or Capetown for C, both of which I realise are not sort of considered the first choice answer for each country but each of which I think is a valid answer.
