Nur-Sultan’s name has been reverted to Astana. You probably should update the quiz.

whoa calling someone a stapler is one thing, but calling someone a faulty stapler is one step too far.. How would you feel if someone called you a faulty calculator, or even worse a malfunctioning vending-machine! Not so nice is it.. you inkless printer

Edit; sorry for the harsh words, I should have restrained myself

Pretty easy indeed. The easiest, I have seen so far, is still this one: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/139806/the-seven-continents-map-quiz

3 minutes for 7 answers? I don't expect everyone to do it in 15 seconds, but surely 60 would do.

Indeed, and all at the end of the first syllable. Presumably not strictly coincidental.

My way of knowing them?

I think of Tutanchamun (spelled Tutankamon in my language) and I know the countries from west to east:

TUrkmenistan

Uzbekistan

TAjikistan

Kyrgyzstan

And then I just learned that the capitals, in that order, is ASTA DUBI. (Where Asta is a female namn in my language).
