Type in a world capital and it will appear below with the shortest distance to the capital I am thinking of. Let me know if I have any typos/if I am missing anything. Thanks to Superhans' game hotncold for the idea!

Exciting quiz but damn you for the super-obscure capital. African geography is my weak point when it comes to world knowledge.

I like the quiz, but I, like a few others, gave up after I realized I was in West Africa. The same thing with Caracas or Belgrade would have been awesome.

Thanks for the input. I plan on making one that's fun but not too obscure next time. Look out for World Capital Locator II!

Make the next one have two cities. Right now the result is going to be 100% because those who don't get it won't register.

Yeah, I knew West Africa, but once I shot my bolt on that (Kinshasa . . . sorta), I had to quit.

Figured out that it was the capital of Guinea (75 miles from Freetown), but didn't know the capital of Guinea. Damn.

@y2jdilemma Dar es Salaam is no longer the capital of Tanzania, it's Dodoma. This was a fun quiz and I am always happy when my African geography knowledge comes in handy since it is not often at all. more specifically, only when I play Sporcle games...

@kcap1 tanzania is like south africa/bolivia/sri lanka with multiple capitols, so both dar es salaam and dodoma are capitols. also both spellings should be acceptable for tirane/tirana
