I had to add SJK too, and because of space issues I shortened it meaning I needed to add tyeins manually for SJK, but that meant malé's were not added automatically! All fixed now, thanks

They're actually distinct units, but it can get rather confusing because SJK is actually within Colombo. Colombo is the financial hub and is often referred to as the financial capital of the country.

SJK is the administrative capital with the parliamentary buildings and a fancy lake full of crocs guarding the MPs.

I think naypyidaw should be allowed as a three word capital. It is sometimes written nay pyi daw and means abode of kings.

Not gonna lie--wouldn't have gotten some of these without looking at other answers that popped up when I got the previous questions. Also took me like 4 tries to remember that Dubai is *not* the capital of UAE . . .

I spent about 20 seconds only on the daily high temperature question (for some reason I forgot the Arab countries) and I went through the rest of the questions without thinking for more than 2 seconds. I still didn't have enough time for the last two questions. Is it possible to increase the time by half a minute?

Got the second-last one I needed, with Naypyidaw. Then turned to the last one, the alphabetical one, and typed Yangon, over and over, not understanding why it wasn't being accepted.

Great quiz, even though you could look for answers in already guessed cities. For example when you had to write capital containing letter 'C' you could look in earlier answers, which I didn't. I only missed capital with two 'Y'. I am always surprised by elevation of Yemen's capital Sana'a.

Man the scoring scale on this on is harsh! the average score (12 atm) only gets you one point.

Well I am am happy with the ones I got especially in the amount of time given (which is short imo, for me definitely, since Im no star at capitals, but didn't even get to read the last 2 questions.)
