	OH. You have to type in the city, not the country. LOL. Nevermind the first comment then.

	Tougher than it looks, because you get suckered in by the 3 or 4 that pop into your head as soon as you see the title.

	Thank God for unimaginative founding fathers. Mexico City, Panama City, Guatemala City, Kuwait City. Not to mention Brasilia, Tunis, and all the little city-states.

	Monte-Carlo is actually a division of Monaco. Monaco is the only city in Monaco.

	Wow, that was hard. Although I only missed four that I actually knew, so not too bad.

	Hahah that was A LOT harder than I expected.

	Love this one. Challenging but possible if you've done the capitals of the world quizzes.

	RebeccaAMax: just so you know, an alliteration is only for words that begin with a consonant sound, just sayin'

	No Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte? You mean to tell me I typed that out for nothing!? LOL

	Hoping for a bonus, I tried Peking, People's Republic of China. Alas, no Peking!

	Demo0043: out of curiosity which do you have a problem with? I scanned the list but couldn't see anything that wasn't on the countries of the world quiz

	Next quiz - same number of letters in both the country and the capital city; even harder!

	melissa:	May 20th, 2009 at 16:43 GMT	12 points
	Great concept - I love these geography quizzes that force you to reconfigure the way facts are stored in your brain. A couple of extra minutes would have been nice, perhaps (though it's good not to make the limit too long).

	Erm, check again, Rabat is the capital of Morocco. Just because more people go on holiday there doesn't make it the capital!

	cysion:	May 20th, 2009 at 16:51 GMT	9 points
	@Alexander Green: It's Rabat - Morocco ;p Marrakech is just a big city in Morocco :)

	Catherine_F:	May 20th, 2009 at 17:03 GMT	7 points
	I thought I'd done really well on this quiz til I saw all the obvious ones I missed! I know I repeatedly scanned over Port Moresby in my brain and for some reason thought it didn't start with the same letter as Papua New Guinea....

	sub:	May 20th, 2009 at 17:17 GMT	1 point
	Thank you, old man with Coke Zero!

	cysion:	May 20th, 2009 at 18:38 GMT	10 points
	This is some amazing braincracker for people who don't have English as their native language. First translate both capital and country to English and then see if they match. Hence I missed Sweden - Stockholm (being Zweden - Stockholm for me) Nice game! :)

	Sparky:	May 20th, 2009 at 18:41 GMT	5 points
	Awesome idea for a quiz =)

	Josh:	May 20th, 2009 at 19:06 GMT	0 points
	Wow, this is hard. (That's what she said.) I'd have a hard enough time if you just told me to name the capital of Belize (for example) without having to do it this way.

	dolby:	May 20th, 2009 at 19:15 GMT	1 point
	got 24 but missed two really easy ones like tunis and bridgetown.... :(

	Alexander Green:	May 20th, 2009 at 19:42 GMT	6 points
	@everyone who pointed out my mistake: d'oh! I've been to both. Oh dear.

	zalagreensbury:	May 20th, 2009 at 19:56 GMT	3 points
	this quiz made my head hurt...which is a good thing.

	kthejoker:	May 20th, 2009 at 20:35 GMT	1 point
	Needs about one more minute, I think.

	Stairway:	May 20th, 2009 at 20:41 GMT	0 points
	This was really really tricky. I got Stockholm in a second of course but then just another four.

	cmkeller:	May 20th, 2009 at 20:45 GMT	1 point
	When I saw the title of the quiz, before I saw the actual description, I thought Phnom Penh would be the only answer.

	I got 21 which I was quite pleased with, though I'm kicking myself for missing Taipei.

	No bonus answer of Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka)? Great quiz though, really interesting idea.

	milkmeister:	May 20th, 2009 at 22:10 GMT	3 points
	@Jack. Taiwan is NOT part of China, it is an alternative name for the Republic of China. This is quite different from China or to use its full name the People's Republic of China.

	mark_oh:	May 20th, 2009 at 23:00 GMT	15 points
	haha I forgot Mexico City, but got Bandar Seri Begawan.
