I still like them. On the World Capitals A-Z quiz, these four capitals are each guessed about 45% of the time, which might be a bit too difficult. Anyways, not every quiz has to be hard.

I didn't take this quiz when I first saw it because I'm not a super-expert on capitals and I assumed it would be impossible for me.

What a surprise when I plucked up the courage and found that there were only 4! With the continents listed! In quiz order! Wonderful!

Not sure if you're joking or not, but just in case: you're thinking of Zurich the largest city in Switzerland, whose capital is indeed Bern. Zagreb, meanwhile, is both the capital of and largest city in Croatia.
