Haha! I've got the same idea, but you made this one before. Nice Quiz!! I believed (and turn to be right) that from Reykjavik to Mogadishu would be the pain-maker of the quiz: up and down and up and down... (and it's half the quiz)

Great quiz. Nominated. It's not easy and I believe it could do with another minute. Also could you ensure all the names are up-to-date, e.g. Eswatini, Nur Sultan, Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte etc?
