	Even though I knew it was countries I needed to type in, I still ended up missing one or two by typing their capitals in instead and not realising my error. So dumb!

	@ptrck: Male, Maldives is only 770 km from (Sri Jayawardenapura) Kotte, Sri Lanka. This is just slightly more than the 765 km for the former capital of Colombo.

	Also, I couldn't believe that Ottawa and Washington were actually that close until I actually looked on a map. I guess that somehow I disregarded the small size of the states in between and just thought about how multiple states had to be traversed from Washington to even get to Canada. Comparing this with Mexico City shows how the size of the country involved really doesn't matter as much for this quantity as where in the country the capital is.

	Huh, I wouldn't have guessed the capitals of Bolivia and Paraguay were so far apart.

	Spent 3 minutes guessing capital cities, wondering why none were working.... gave up and saw paraguay as an answer....

	The one that surprised me was Mauritius. I really thought that it was too close to Madagascar to possibly work, but clearly not! It would have been a cool third column (but a lot of work) to put what capital WAS closest and by how much.

	After being in disbelief and looking it up, I've learned that Astana is 982.5 KM from Bishkek. Bonus answer for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan?

	When the inverse of this quiz came out, name a capital and it will show all those within 1000km, I tried to basically do this. So glad it's its own quiz now.

	Anyone else type "Italy" just to see if a snarky response came up?

	What's Jakarta close to?

	kheruvim:	Sep 26th, 2011 at 09:48 GMT	2 points
	@catcherj: Singapore is probably closest to Jakarta - about 900km or so...

	@srobert I typed in Vatican City

	Felt pleased with myself to get the least guessed. Then found out that I had missed the 3rd most guessed country because I kept trying to spell it with an 'S'. Oh, the humiliation.... :-)
