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.

And if anyone claims to get Nouakchott correct I am 100% sure you cheated.

Did it earlier, got 7. It would help if I knew where Nouakchott was.

Meh, 5.

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.

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!

Obv I failed 2/10!

this one tilted the hell out of me as not only did they not colour in kaliningrad the map showed a coutry between kaliningrad and lithuania which wouldn't go away despite me shouting at the computer that it doesn't exist

got 41

would've been much easier a few years ago when 7 of them were in the soviet union and about 6 in yugoslavia

Anyone remember that flash game where you had to throw darts at the worlds capitals and it calculated your score by how far you missed?
Can't find it.

How dare you...

It's actually fairly easy if you know roughly where it is... Didn't get Rome though obviously. Thought Havana was probably the hardest, no real idea where anything is round there. 10/16.
