	If only West Germany were still a country.

	Bonn popped into my mind, too. Please to explain why Sana only qualifies as a bonus answer? Perhaps multiple apostrophes count as a fifth letter?

	@Scout_Number_4: The capital of Yemen is most often transliterated Sa'ana. Cool quiz! I managed to get the last one (Doha) with about 10 seconds left.

	These things really should accept Kyiv as an alternate spelling for Kiev. It's even the official State Department spelling.

	At last a capitals quiz where I am not struggling with the spelling of Iceland's capital!

	I'm surprised the Sporcle admins haven't added the accent to Malé. It's not -that- big of a deal, but should it happen that someone clicks on the Wikipedia link, it leads you to the male sex now.

	How did I manage to get Apia but miss Lima? o.O

	Wien should be a bonus answer.

	I know Sfax is not the capital. I know that. So why did I keep typing it?!?!?

	lauraellen:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 14:15 GMT	4 points
	@mike5816 - because sfax is just. that. awesome.

	Got 9 on the first try and the 4 I missed were 4 of the top 5 (Oslo, Bern, Rome and Kiev). Did the Capitals of the World quiz so many times that I now think instinctively of the obscure rather than the common ones.

	Dammit I've been to one of the ones I missed!!! (slaps head)

	Great quiz, but a little more time would be nice.

	Terrific quiz. I think the time is good - even though I ran out. Keeps you on your toes.

	13/13 plus a bonus for sana'a. Are there any more bonusses to get?

	dsteele:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 10:13 GMT	2 points
	Surprised Nuuk, Greenland isn't at least a bonus answer; it's not quite sovereign, I realize, but it is autonomous/home rule, often erroneously considered a nation, and its capital city clearly meets the criteria for entry.
