	Wowza - got Australia and NZ. I need to brush up on those little islands.

	Probably too much time - you can get the ones you actually know then just guess the rest until you get it right!

	It took me seven capitals to come up before I realized I was naming countries and not capitals. That is not a good sign.

	two minutes less to really cut down on the cheaters, i got them all with about 2 minutes left by copy and pasting the countries into each box :-/

	31% got 100% correct? I guess there is too much time.

	alaska:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 08:50 GMT	5 points
	I have to agree on the time thing. I guessed for most of them until I got them all. Also, for some odd reason I always remember the capital of Tuvalu is Funafuti . . . just because their airport code is FUN. I know, I'm a weirdo.

	Can't believe more people get the New Zealand capital over the Australian one. Only actually knew four, NZ, Aus, PNG and Fiji, the rest I got through guessing. Needs a time reduction.

	Nauru does not have a capital.

	laura_belle:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 09:19 GMT	0 points
	Ah forgot Tuvalu.... always forget that one in the world quiz too

	cloycebox:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 09:27 GMT	3 points
	@Sesel: It's true that Nauru doesn't have an official capital, but for the sake of Sporcle quizzes it's always listed as Yaren.

	2 minutes should be enough time.

	milc:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 10:37 GMT	3 points
	1 minutes enough time, you either know them or you don't, guessing/copying and pasting is the same as cheating off a website

	jamesj0324:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 GMT	-1 points
	Didn't do to well on this one. But most of those answers did look familiar from Survivor though!

	Guinevere:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 11:13 GMT	7 points
	Yeah, in the interests of full disclosure, too much time - I only knew Australia and New Zealand, and was able to get the rest by randomly pasting them in (which I don't think is quite as bad as totally cheating - at least I have to know the countries of Oceania - but it isn't in the spirit of the point of the quiz).

	smarty:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 12:09 GMT	-3 points
	I only knew 8 of them and by then it was super easy to just guess the rest.. so yeah agreed with everyone else.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Fidelio:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 13:05 GMT	9 points
	I agree with Guinevere - copying and pasting is different from getting everything right on the first try, but it's not the same as getting the right answers from a website. Most people (ie, those who aren't obsessed with Sporcle) would do terribly even if they copied and pasted, because they wouldn't be able to name countries like Palau and Tuvalu off the top of their heads.

	HalfWelsh:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 14:53 GMT	-2 points
	Kiribati is the least guessed?? Shame on you Sporcle community!!

	davidr:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 15:01 GMT	4 points
	This one and South America were always going to be easy because there aren't many countries. But that doesn't make them bad quizzes and it would be silly to only do the other four continents.

	joewhitey:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 18:25 GMT	-3 points
	The Federated States of Micronesia is the proper name.

Capital	Country
Palikir
Nukuʻalofa
Yaren
Port Vila
Canberra
Wellington
Melekeok

	jcos444:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	-2 points
	Too much time for the copy/pasters who just know the countries...like me.

	Rosty:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 03:54 GMT	1 point
	Isn't South Tarawa the capital of Kiribati?

	dstern1724:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 04:11 GMT	-1 points
	1 minute is definitely enough time i did it in 32 seconds

	cheezguyty:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 05:05 GMT	-1 points
	It's true that Nauru does not have an official capital, and it makes absolutely no sense to try to pretend that it does for any reason. Either the quizzes need to have factual information or else this site has lost its educational value. There is nothing educational or mentally stimulating about learning incorrect information.

	Heef:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 11:57 GMT	-1 points
	Wow! NZ proving to be more well known than our mates over the ditch in Aussie (albeit by only 2.5%). Thanks Sporcle, its always good to get one over on our neighbours!

	simpleerrors:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 05:14 GMT	1 point
	accept states of micronesia? Although that kinda is my fault for not using "federal" states of micronesia Only knew like 6 of them

	crimsonangel:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 11:57 GMT	1 point
	Trial and error can work wonders, alright.

	shel99:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 02:24 GMT	2 points
	Agreed that it's too much time. I only knew Australia and New Zealand and got the rest by trial and error because I've done the countries of Oceania quiz too many times.

	briantravelman:	Dec 24th, 2009 at 00:23 GMT	1 point
