	Haha, 'elemeno' is not a letter, fantastic description which embarrassingly I sometimes still say!

	"Who on earth had a first name before Andrew Johnson????" Only his much more famous predecessor. FAIL

	Given the preponderance of WXYZ answers, I was surprised and delighted to learn that "Washington" is not an answer in any of the 3 categories it qualifies for.

	Argh, I couldn't get the first world capital. I kept trying Abuja (Nigeria), but I never thought of Abu Dhabi.

	@boss monster- you made it farther than me, i couldn't for the life of me think of something that beats "addis ababa" until... (in m head) OH! I GOT IT! ACCRA, GHANA! not to mention that I just did an arabic presentation on the UAE... talk about an epic fail there.

	@Louxie: Albert I was never a King of England. He was, however, the first monkey in space.

	almost missed Abraham. Also I finally figured out that there was a world capital starting with Z at like 5 seconds left lol.

	I thought I was so clever for remembering Abidjan. Too bad it's not the capital of Cote d'Ivoire anymore. :(

	Even though I knew it was alphabetical order, I couldn't help but think in chronological order. I tried January, December, Sunday, Saturday, Red, and Purple and facepalmed each time yet never learned my lesson.

	Very clever and super fun. Negative ten points to the dude who didn't know what president Abraham was.

	@Aroll510: although the chronological order of the months is always Jan. to Dec. (at least in the Gregorian calendar), there is no universal agreement as to which is the first (and therefore the last) day of the week. I think that in Europe it's more usual in calendars to show each week as running from Monday to Sunday (this usage is also followed in the ISO week numbering system). The alphabetical order allows no doubts.

	I managed to get Abu Dhabi (the least gotten), but couldn't get slightly more simple ones such as Abraham.

	Someday I'll learn the American state capitals. Today is not that day.

	Surely William the Second comes before William the Fourth in alphabetical order

	Spydermonkey:	Mar 22nd, 2012 at 01:16 GMT		3 points
	@gollob Yes, because clearly S comes before F. :) Great quiz, proud of myself for the abu dhabi, kicking myself for not getting belfast, being from the UK! Nice variety, but i agree a little less USA would have been nicer :)

	Afghanistan came to me just as time ran out. That kind of thing always happens to me. Great quiz, really racked my brain trying to come up with the answers!

	I totally though 'UK Capitals' was asking for county towns, so I didn't even bother guessing. Turns out it's one of the easiest on here. Oops.

	lol I remembered Abraham Lincoln as I was playing another quiz later, then I started slapping myself.
