	Awesome quiz! Very hard. Glad they are already coming out with the other continents

	jd1z:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 04:41 GMT		14 points
	Oh Lord. Africa, you are my Everest.

	As an african american I feel so ashamed that I could only name a handful of these capitals I really gotta brush up.

	Ouagadougou remains one of my favorite names in geography (although all bets are off if I have to spell it)

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 04:43 GMT		1 point
	I'm excited, this will no doubt be a huge help for the "capitals of Africa" quiz, having it all listed in a table like this.

	JohnJF:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 04:45 GMT		11 points
	Who ever said European capitals was easy? I want names and possibly addresses! Oh well, I reckon I should get back to "Colors of the Rainbow" before going to bed on this note...

	jd1z:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 04:49 GMT		6 points
	Also, ingeniously devious of Sporcle to change up the order on every try... No learning the order on the page, you have to actually learn the capitals. Blerg!

	Can we have consistency on the Republic of the Congo, please? "rep congo" should suffice.

	"The capital of Djibouti is Djiboutii. I've got a mind like a steel-trap!"

	Pat423:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 05:08 GMT		19 points
	I think we're all thinking the same thing here... And I have to agree. However hard this is, Antarctica by capital will be even WORSE.

	cigarette:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT		17 points
	This quiz is entirely too Afro-centric.

	eshortstop2:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 05:20 GMT		-3 points
	Don't lie. I know that everyone here took 5 seconds to make sure Ouagadougou wasn't a palindrome. And you just checked if you didn't already.

	Ouagadougou was my favourite African capital even back when it was the capital of Upper Volta.

	This quiz is really hard. But that was what Sporcle was invented for! So we could brush up on our general knowledge. Consequently, I think this is a really good quiz and YAY for Geography quizes!

	Speenatch:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 09:51 GMT		1 point
	I always get 100% on naming the capitals, but apparently it doesn't work both ways! Here's one more quiz I need to take obsessively until I get right.

	Speenatch:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 09:52 GMT		4 points
	@lalalala, if the boxes go in order then you're not remembering the answers by association, you're remembering from the order. Try just looking at the text box rather than the highlighted area.

	Welius:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 09:57 GMT		3 points
	this quiz hurts: it showed me i still need a lot of practise. Anyway, me lika thiz!! ^^

	banutzu:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 11:09 GMT		-3 points
	probably needs a slightly shorter time, i got 4 extra through guessing at the end

	A great refresher and a hint to brush up not only on African capitals but on those in other continents...'cause if I guess right we're soon to see them. Keep the geog quizzes coming!

	thisisaname:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 14:46 GMT		2 points
	Nice quiz, Sporcle! The country names are much easier to spell than the city names, especially since acronyms are allowed for certain countries. And HiddenPalace, way to piss off 1/6 of the world's population. I suggest you stay away from a certain part of the world from here on.

	I recently finished learning the African capitals from the traditional African capital quiz. This was a fun test to see if I could go backwards with them as well. Got em all.

	biggers:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 16:06 GMT		1 point
	loved this. i can do the countries of africa in about 4 mins but only managed 19 answers in 8 mins. Clearly need to do some revision - predict this quiz will be a frequent one for me. Well done to the 11% who got all correct

	Biscuit1978:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 18:07 GMT		-1 points
	ALL 53 with 4:54 TO SPARE. I could not believe it. I love this quiz. I got more on this than on the Asian one. The time is probably about right thought

	holy. mother. of-god.

	GeoExpert:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 21:23 GMT		1 point
	Wow, I can do this quiz quite easily, but can never get a perfect score and the other AFRICA capital by country quiz.

	Djibouti:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 22:25 GMT		5 points
	I'm going to get blasted for saying this, but the time is way too long. It could be cut down by 3 minutes easy. Either you know it or you don't, and having enough time to guess several countries you don't know for every single answer kind of defeats the purpose.

	Chubcity:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 01:37 GMT		5 points
	I assume ouagadougou is pronounced "wagadoogoo" but I might be wrong.

	motomoto:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 02:10 GMT		2 points
	@chubcity - I'm pretty sure it's oo-ah-gah-doo-goo.

	Joshbuckler:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 02:24 GMT		1 point
	I really like this quiz for learning the capitals. It's a great one to move on to after you've mastered the countries of the world, but feel daunted by the various world cities quizzes.
