I doubt that that statement is true, Kal. Bujumbura hasn't been the capital of Burundi for a while and isn't in this quiz.... You may have thought of it, but you'd still have to type something else to actually get B.

I realized this the moment I hit submit, thought about editing the comment, then decided to leave it to see how long it would take someone to catch it. Apparently less than a day. Anyway, it was just an example. I don't remember exactly which ones I typed.

It might have been accepted. I accidently typed Astana and got Nur-Sultan.

For some reason, all the "stan" capitals came to mind. Astana got me N, Ashgabat got me A, then Bishkek, Dushanbe, Islamabad, Kabul, and Tashkent. I didn't even do it consciously.

Because it isn't the official capital, just the economic capital of Benin, although it does have more government buildings than Porto-Novo, which only has the National Legislature.

Sigh... it IS an official country. But it is NOT a sovereign country. Which this site uses as a standard for all their quizzes.

(unless mentioned otherwise, like with a caveat "includes non sovereign countries")
