	I just tried to name as many capitals as I could. Berlin, Madrid, Brasilia (DAMMIT!), Moscow (DAMMIT!), Cairo, Buenos Aires (DAMMIT!), Canberra (DAMMIT!)

	It's Tallinn, not Talinn, that's probably why.

	Wow, too fast! The time limit needs an extra minute at least...

	Dramathorn: fortunately it's not humanly possible to type that in less than two minutes so it's kind of a non-issue

	I think the time is fine the way it is. Obviously you're not meant to finish the whole thing in the two minutes. I think you're just meant to get as many as possible and see how you compare with everyone else.

	Note to self: Antananarivo is not the best choice for A.

	But some of us would like to see if we can finish it at all. Comparison with others is not a priority with everybody.

	As it is, it works out to five seconds per answer. Needs more time so that people can actually think about it.

	ended up with a big blank after a short time and that one.

	No I can't

	I like the fact I ran out of time. Its not as much of a challenge if you have all the time in the world to think of it. Theres plenty of other world capital quizzes for general non-time-pressured quizzage...

	Not sure what you're doing, Yomamaruth, but none of that works. It is true that when one capital is entered, a whole list of capitals for that letter appears in the letter slot, where only the first entry in that list is visible.

	i think 2 minutes is perfect... I think its very possible to finish in that time (not that I did) - if it was longer then there would be a high completion rate.

	@Triffid: yep, it's often nice to have a quiz which is just tasting knowledge, not also speed. But there are lots of other quizzes like that, and it's fun to have some quizzes like this that are time challenges as well!

	Any reason Yangon is not accepted here? Otherwise great quiz :p

	gillian:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 19:23 GMT		4 points
	you should accept LIMA it's the capital of Peru. @CreamyGoodness, if you read Wiki carefully you will see that the UK is both a Sovereign state AND a country - leave my island nation alone! :P

	@Sccopp: Johannesburg is not a capital of South Africa. The three capitals are Cape Town, Pretoria, and Bloemfontein.

	time is perfect - makes it tough but doable.

	I agree that the 2 minute time is good. If you just want to see if you can name all the capitals, there are other quizzes for that. The challenge here is about time. Very fun. Way more difficult than I would have thought!

	boston_sports:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 20:47 GMT		3 points
	This is a really interesting quiz. I think the time of okay, if it was longer it would be too easy. It was interesting to see what capitals I came up with.
