Really great quiz! I just couldn't stop myself thinking of countries that fit the letters, then I would think of their capitals which usually didn't. Well done to the Sporclers who got past this mental block: from the stats there are quite a few of you.

@BillDiaco Sorry, that was a mistake on my part. It's been added. Thanks for pointing it out.

Countries whose names are the same as their capitals are pretty helpful when you run into the inevitable mental block. Countries with a '[CountryName] City' capital...not so much. :(

I could've done Apia. I can't believe I typed in Addis Ababa instead. I must have some Sporcleitis.

@Mirrorboy: depends where you're from. To someone who lives in Europe and has travelled around it a lot, but never been to South America, Ljubljana would be much more obvious than Lima. On which note, it's interesting that almost all the Balkan capitals are answers on this quiz: Ljubljana, Podgorica/Pristina, Sofia, Tirana, Belgrade, Skopje, Sarajevo, Bucharest. The glaring exception is Zagreb!

was the point of having the total column to make you think of all of them, or how many letters in total there are???

Wow, super fun but for me (not the best at international capitals) way way way too little time. I kept thinking of country names, major cities, but capitals.... whew. Quite a stern test. Plenty of times I give up because I clearly cannot get the remaining answers--they're just not hiding in the folds of my brain. Most of what I missed on this quiz was hiding up there, but needed some serious poking to loosen up. Like Chile for example... I had about a dozen possible santa-type names to go through before the right one clicked. By then, too late. Good quiz, though; gives me somethign to shoot for.

Bandar Seri Begawan instead of Berlin or Bern .... wow. Chronic sporclitis. I'd say incurable.

@ChicagoGuy88 Not sure if that would count as Sporclitis; I'm pretty sure Addis Ababa is generally better-known than Apia, if much less simple to type.

Wow - I'm usually good at these sorts of quizzes. This one I've had to add to my favourites as it's going to take much practice to master it. I could not think of a single capital to go with 12 of them.

I love how the only thing I could think of for B...N was Bandar Seri Begawan. Not Bern. Not even Berlin. Sporclitis much? Lol

You could add this one: K...T. Guess why? The answer is Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit, the official name of Bangkok. It could be fun... Well, maybe not.
