In French it is written with an "E". I thought it was the same in English. Nice quiz anyways!

Same for me in Dutch. That's another realization here. The same I had earlier with Tunisia, which is written in Dutch with an e in the 4th position.

I saw "Sri Jayawardenepura" and thought, "Oh great!" Then I saw "Kote" and it was, "Oh! It's just the T. Phew!"

While not wrong, leaving out the "u" in Mogadishu is very inauspicious, because in many languages (including Somali itself), it is spelled with an "o" at the end. Same for Addis Ababa, where the /ə/ is transliterated as an "e" in many languages.

But it would be possible with process of elimination if you've used one of the letters already since you can skip questions and come back

Had to do "Sure" last because it just wouldn't come to me. Even after I got it from process of elimination it took me looking at the answer.

I'm imagining a who's-on-first skit with Sure:

"Can you remove a letter from the administrative capital city of Bolivia?"

"Sure."

"What is it?

"I just told you."

"What?"

"The capital of Bolivia without the letter."

"Yes, what was it?"

"Sure."
