Which translated means: "You don't have to put all this down for the capital of Sri Lanka when doing Jetpunk quizzes, just type Kotte"

Ones that may have made it to Mal's Hardest Capitals that I got in one round:

Brunei

Montenegro (it actually is there)

Tonga (it actually is there)

Mauritius

Kosovo

Solomon Islands

Malawi (it actually is there)

Cote d'Ivoire (it actually is there)

Iceland (it actually is there)

Brunei and Sri Lanka can be solved actually with the fewest characters: 3.

Bandar Seri Begawan simplifies to BSB and Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte simplifies to SJK.

(both capital names googled but I didn't get either so)

PS: Capitals of Montenegro, Kosovo and Mauritius are easy to type. As for Ivory Coast and Iceland, I feel for you.

tanzanias capital is dar es salaam

Level 70

Mar 3, 2016

Dar es Salaam continued to serve as its capital, even when in 1964 Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form Tanzania. In 1973, however, provisions were made to relocate the capital to Dodoma, a more centrally located city in the interior.

Was on track for a 3:30 or better finish and came across Madagascar on the second last one. Now I know it's Antananarivo, but I cannot type that out fast for the life of me. Always need to slow down and make sure I'm putting in the correct number of syllables.

Level 70

Oct 25, 2016

I think of it as Antan Anarivo it's a little easier that way.

What about Abidjan for ivory coast

Level 58

Dec 14, 2017

Ivory Coast (or Cote d'Ivoire) proclaimed their political capital to be Yamoussoukro in 1983. Abidjan is still called the economic capital of the country though.

Ouaga for Ouagadougou, Sri Jellyfish Tempura or Kotte for Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte. Can't help you with Yamoussoukro, though.

Could you please make the allow "Port of Spain" for the capital of Trinidad and Tobago

Level 72

Nov 18, 2017

"Taskent" should be allowed form of the capital of Uzbekistan (the official form is "taškent") Now it only accepts "Tashkent"

Level 58

Dec 14, 2017

Tashkent is the only spelling in English. It seems to be spelled Toshkent in Uzbek.

Level 65

Dec 14, 2017

Whoever gets the correct spelling of Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte and Naypyidaw must have cheated.

Level 65

Dec 14, 2017

...or come from there.

Level 79

Dec 22, 2019

No, most of them (including me) just know them. And its Jayawardenepura*, not Jayawardenapura.

Level 65

Dec 14, 2017

When Indian children have to know how to spell things like Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte when they are ten...then they move to the USA and enter the Spelling Bee...they are given words like mispronounce...these kids are thinking..."Kindergarten level". No wonder Indian children come to America and win all the Spelling Bees.

Level 61

Ironically there's a typo in your comment. It's Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte.

Best I can probably get is 3:04 minutes left...

Anyone else got anything close or better?

Level 45

Mar 24, 2019

I had a 3:19, but it is completely luck-based. I can't remember which ones were on that quiz, but they probably included some of the following: both Congo's, China, UK, USA, PNG, and other very quick type-ins. Having a time of 3:04 is still very impressive. I doubt I will be able to repeat any time under 3:15. People with very high words per minute may only get a time of 3:00 because he/she ends up with the worst countries for the purposes of this quiz, like Honduras, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, Venezuela, Guinea-Bissau, etc while getting none of the short country names.

Level 45

Mar 24, 2019

Oops, wrong quiz. Either way, I probably had short capital names. I for whatever reason thought this was where they gave the capitals and I name the countries. Either way, you get the point, no matter which version this quiz actually is.

this is what google has to say about the capital of Israel dispute- Tel Aviv and Jerusalem served as de facto joint capitals of Israel from May to December 1948. The Israeli parliament and the supreme court are both located Jerusalem, which makes it the legislative capital and judicial capital of Israel.

Yes! Got them all, with 2:34 remaining, at 6:55:36 PM on March 27, 2019. My countries were Vanuatu, Brunei, Cambodia, Seychelles, the United States, Portugal, Philippines, Switzerland, Nigeria, Mali, Slovakia, Oman, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Italy, Colombia, Andorra, Israel, Armenia, and Barbados. I did well because I have been practicing with capitals lately, but to all who take this quiz and do well on it, congratulations. It really shows that you know the countries and their capitals inside and out when you can match them in a random order, on the spot, like this. Well done to you all.

I was getting 17, 18, 19 consistently until one day I lucked out with the draw and got 20. But then I wanted to be able to get 20 every time. Kept working at capitals and finally learned all the Oceania and Caribbean capitals (and a few Asian and African ones that also gave me trouble). Feels good to blow through this quiz now.
