	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!

	JohnJF:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 04:38 GMT	4 points
	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.

	callheralaska:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 04:50 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.

	Ah forgot Tuvalu.... always forget that one in the world quiz too

	@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 06:37 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

	Didn't do to well on this one. But most of those answers did look familiar from Survivor though!

	Guinevere:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 07:13 GMT	9 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 08:09 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.

	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 10:53 GMT	-2 points
	Kiribati is the least guessed?? Shame on you Sporcle community!!

	davidr:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 GMT	6 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 14:25 GMT	-2 points
	The Federated States of Micronesia is the proper name.

	Rackie:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 14:40 GMT	2 points
	Oh us Sporclers, the 25% getting all of them (me included) shows we've spent far too much time learning the countries!

	jcos444:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 17:14 GMT	-2 points
	Too much time for the copy/pasters who just know the countries...like me.

	Rosty:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 23:54 GMT	2 points
	Isn't South Tarawa the capital of Kiribati?

	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 07:57 GMT	1 point
	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 01:14 GMT	-1 points
	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 07:57 GMT	1 point
	Trial and error can work wonders, alright.

	shel99:	Oct 28th, 2009 at 22:24 GMT	3 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 23rd, 2009 at 20:23 GMT	1 point
	It wont let me post a game beacuse for every single url I create it says invalid or duplicate url! i dont get it! It worked before! Can someone help me?

	yoshigod9753:	Aug 7th, 2010 at 10:24 GMT	1 point
	are 5 answers bad or good? I just copied and pasted the countries until i got them right.

	JoAnBe:	Aug 9th, 2010 at 16:27 GMT	3 points
	I thought Nauru had no offical captial thats what confused me

	mred:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 16:26 GMT	6 points
	Ngerulmud is the capital of Palau?

	Griff5516:	Nov 10th, 2010 at 22:42 GMT	0 points
	I finished with 2:28 remaining .. anyone beat that?

	jseve001:	Jan 27th, 2011 at 21:12 GMT	3 points
	@simpleerors It's "Federated" States of Micronesia, not "Federal."

	Lyn_Marie:	Jan 28th, 2011 at 02:33 GMT	1 point
	@mred: I kinda have the same question. I was doing a trivia quiz on an app on my phone which said that Ngerulmud is the capital of Palau. I only knew it from Sporcle quizzes, but thought it was Melekeok. So, I googled Palau and found conflicting info between Wikipedia (Ngerulmud) and the CIA World Factbook (Melekeok). I'm inclined to go with the CIA and Sporcle. Does anyone know for sure?

	TheSanguineOne:	Apr 24th, 2011 at 23:43 GMT	-1 points
	I guarantee that the majority of people who had all 14 are cheaters. Even I admit to cheating, but I only made it to 13. xD

	historybuff1861:	May 22nd, 2011 at 03:55 GMT	0 points
	wtf I only got 9. I got Australia and New Zealand, then I played my new favorite game guess the random Ocieanic Country yay!

	british:	May 28th, 2011 at 01:48 GMT	-1 points
	there is enough time to just guess through it and get quite a few. couldnt remember nauru -_-

	lhippocampe:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 10:04 GMT	1 point
	Got to agree with most, you could brush off a minute at least..
