Technically, Bosnia and Herzegovina didn't exist in 1984, so no country's capital actually hosted the Winter Olympics that year.

Somehow I feel Yugoslavia should be an accepted answer.

I disagree. Sarajevo was never Yugoslavia's capital, Belgrade was. Furthermore, the description in the quiz is absolutely correct: Bosnia's capital city (Sarajevo) indeed hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics.

Thanks @Henning. I wrote the question the way I did for a reason. Yugoslavia is not the correct answer.

Indeed, the question is ok, though I see how it can be misleading for some people. Still very surprised by SO low percentage of correct answers.

It's not that hard folks. I had to think a bit but a) Sarajevo is the capital of B & H, b) they hosted the Olympics. That's all the question says.

well, but it didn't ask about a capital that day. It asked about a country, whose today's capital hosted the Olympics. And that surely is Bosnia and Herzegovina...

Its capital, the city of Sarajevo, did indeed host the 1984 Winter Olympics.

In other Earth shattering news, Italy's capital city, Rome, once controlled the entire Mediterranean.

Therefore we can conclude there was no 1984 olympics.. it never took place

I think the lapland clue can also apply to Norway and Sweden (it depends on what you call a region, but still...)

Not Norway, because Svalbard is not part of Lapland. Your case for Sweden still stands, though.

i think there poorest country question might need to be re-phrased. I kept trying to guess every country in western Africa, that's to the left of the greenwich meridian line.

There's several that have have way lower per capita GDP than Haiti. Liberia is less than half of them.

"Poorest country" is ambiguous. You tend to measure the wealth of a *country* by total GDP (and usually not in PPP) - and by that measure, there are at least a dozen countries in the Americas that are poorer than the country of Haiti.

Maybe change the clue to "country with the poorest population", or "poorest country per capita"?

Gambia has a lower GDP per capita than Haiti. Maybe change Western Hemisphere to "in the Americas"

I, for one, am sick and tired of the Georgian propaganda machine, and the insufferable iron grip that Big Georgia has on worldwide culture.

It's like everything is Georgian, now. You can't go out to eat without being virtually force-fed khachapuri at every corner. It's like the world has even forgotten there are other poets than Nikoloz Baratashvili - if I have to see yet another Netflix adaptation of his works, I think I'll puke.

Let's all stand strong and fight the Georgian hegemony!

Fun quiz. The clue for Russia could be simplified to "Country known for making nesting dolls."

Pedantry alert: during the civil war between Atahualpa and Huascar that weakened the Incan Empire enough to allow Pizarro to conquer it, Atahualpa declared Quito his capital. Cuzco remained the capital for Huascar and reverted to being the capital for the entire Empire when Atahualpa defeated him. But it would be a bit more accurate to say "Where the principal capital of the Incan Empire was located."

No it isn't. The yellow box doesn't add any additional keyboarding skills to a quiz. It prevents you from simply entering random possible answers and getting them right. It actually requires you to do exactly what you say you are trying to do - answer quiz questions.
