	You should be able to click on a country to select it. I just remembered the capital of Libya after previously having skipped it, and now I have to keep clicking [SKIP][SKIP][SKIP]. I clicked it once too many times and now I have to go through the whole rotation again.

	Shouldn't Cape Town be acceptable for the capital of South Africa?? Maybe Bloemfontein too (although that may be pushing it a bit).

	no, Cape Town is the legislative capital, Bloemfontein(fountain of flowers in Afrikaans), is judicial, and Pretoria is the administrative capital. All three should be accepted. And there'sa bit of history if you are interested.

	I'm impressed I got Ouagadougou! But only 19 over all. Tough...reeeal tough.

	I agree being able to click on a country to select it would help, for when you think of Zimbabwe while you're on Cameroon and then remember Cameroon's just when you've pressed "skip" a 15th time and then forget it again because you stopped to think about Mali.

	gaberone should be accepted for botswana as that is how it is spelt usually. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4SNYK_en-GBGB247GB247&q=gaberone&meta=

	Some of them are really hard to spell, such as Yamorouskoso, Cote D Ivorie

	Iceberg:	May 31st, 2009 at 19:44 GMT	5 points
	Hardest . . . continent . . . ever. Though I am up to 30. Stared at about 10.

	this is how I memorized the capital of Burkina Faso... oh you oh god oh you go you!

	xander:	Jul 27th, 2009 at 09:57 GMT	6 points
	This is pretty amazing, the lowest guessed answer is still above 40%, people have been studying their African maps! I'm really impressed at these numbers, for what I would've thought to be a difficult quiz. And over 20% got every single one. Guess I'll see you in Bangui!

	Gedion, I love that Burkina Faso trick. I remember it every time now!

	53/53 I knew that South Africa had three capitals, I guessed Pretoria, which is my favorite. Niamey was hard. I figured out how to spell Ouagadougou at the last minute

	@Xander: there's lot of people here who keep taking a quiz until they get all correct. I'm not one of them.

	hard!! lol, one day I will have these down!

	jeraboa:	Dec 20th, 2009 at 15:51 GMT	-2 points
	53/53 in 4.33 minuites, I think they give you far too much time for this one, spent a good 30 secs trying to spell Yamoussoukro

	beforever:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 10:07 GMT	4 points
	This is definitely the hardest of all the continents to learn. I'm spending even more time remembering this than the time I took to learn the 195 countries of the world.

	42/53. Not too bad, but I should do better.............

	jcrow09:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 02:31 GMT	2 points
