Title: A Very Hard Quiz Post by: The Camel on October 22, 2009, 03:04:05 AM Now I pride myself at being pretty good at quizzes, but this one had me tearing my hair out..
I ended up getting 4 right. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Booger/ClosestCapitals And if anyone claims to get Nouakchott correct I am 100% sure you cheated.

Got toally flummoxed by Washington because I spelt the Canadian capital wrong, plus knew which country's capital was closest to Moscow but couldn't remember its name. Rome was cheeky. Title: Re: A Very Hard Quiz Post by: Woodsey on October 22, 2009, 10:03:30 AM 6, would have been seven but couldn't spell the one closest to Beijing.
Title: Re: A Very Hard Quiz Post by: Graham C on October 22, 2009, 11:39:21 AM damn that's hard. I hadn't heard of some of the places and some of those I had heard of, I hadn't heard of the closest capital!
