I guessed both iran and turkey, didn't know you had to type in the capital...maybe just countries can work so you can guess the capitals afterwards?..

In all fairness, it does say "Name the capital cities of the world's most populous countries", "Enter capital city here", and "When you guess the capital, the country will appear".

Oh, and the title: "Capitals of Most Populated Countries" not vice versa. Though that would be a cool spin-off...

I really believed it should be Ho Chi Ming City and not Hanoi. No? Also it really is Islamabad and not Karachi, huh? Who would have thought? At least I knew Ankara (not Istanbul) :)

1. Kal didn't say Ho Chi Minh was a city.

2. He did say Ho Chi Minh is not the capital of Vietnam. Which is correct, since he's a dead politician.

Is that Ho Chi Ming the Merciless? I think Flash Gordon, after snorting a couple of lines, kicked his arse, so that city doesn't exist any more.

Just did some back of the envelope math. If the world were as densely populated as Dhaka, the global population would be around 70 trillion (give or take 10s of millions). It's a big goal, but I think we can do it if we really get busy... ya know, gettin' bizzay.

Does it need to be as densily populated as Dhaka now, or as Dhaka at that point in time? Because, if it's the latter, there are easier ways (which I do not in any way support).
