Something's going seriously wrong with where the answers are being placed. Also needs more time please - at least double, probably more.

Why more time? A bunch of countries don't have previous capitals so I removed a minute of time.

I will check with the other issue.

I think it works now, but you should add maybe 30 seconds more. Good quiz, though!
