Nice! Bahamas should be changed to Nassau

no, oceania capitals is correct, theyre both right, you just fixed what didnt need fixing

Level 53

If you remember that all five make up the island group of Micronesia, then it becomes a lot easier. Hope this helps!

Level 76

It should, but it doesn't.

Oceania and the Stans caught me out and also sounds like a cruise ship cabaret act.

Feb 5, 2016

Haha. South Tarawa is in the Northernmost countries.

Level 76

Oct 29, 2018

I did travel from South Tarawa (pop about 50,000) across a short bridge into Buota, the first island in North Tarawa. From there an outrigger ferry takes you onto the next island, Abatao, where it's dreamy and empty, with villages among the trees you can only walk between on a sandy track. I even found a hillock there that I swear is higher than Tarawa's official 3 metre high point!

Level 75

Apr 8, 2021

I'll wager that South Tarawa is the most-guessed of the Oceania capitals because it's mentioned here...

Level 67

I love how all the Oceanian capitals are in a sequence at the bottom.

Level 65

Mar 19, 2016

Lol, nice.

1:29 left... Oceania is always tricky.

Level 63

Apr 19, 2016

Georgia isn't in Asia. Why is its capital on the Asia segment of this quiz?

+12

Level 94

Apr 19, 2016

Because the majority of Georgia is in Asia.

Level 72

Oct 14, 2019

You could just as easily say it is not in europe. They are in neither/both. But it seems they would like to be european.

Level 73

Mar 10, 2022

You haven’t got to L61 without knowing that Jetpunk counts Georgia as part of Asia, have you?

Level 61

Sep 1, 2024

Given that your comment was 6 years later, I would daresay they weren't level 61 at the time.

Level 60

Apr 19, 2016

Moscow is at 55 N - do you consider it a European capitol even though the vast majority of the country it represents is in Asia?

Level 81

Apr 19, 2016

Moscow is definitely a European city. And a large portion, and the most populous part, of Russia is in Europe.

Level 81

Apr 19, 2016

Before starting this quiz I found a user quiz on the capitals of Oceania. I perfected that one then came back here and it was mostly easy. Bishkek took me a while to remember.

Level 65

Apr 19, 2016

Nice strategy!

Level 74

Oct 29, 2018

Bishkek always makes me think of a drunken person trying to say biscuit. (Sorry, Bishkekkers or Bishkekians, or Bishkekodians, or whatever you are.)

Level 81

Oct 29, 2018

Bishkek always makes me think of Eric Cartman in season 1 episode 2 of South Park. "beef cake! BEEF CAKE!!"

Level 67

Apr 14, 2020

Probably a drunk German person because kekse is cookie in German, so Bishkek is a mix between a biscuit and a cookie.

Level 61

Sep 1, 2024

I couldn't find the English demonym even with Google, only the French one (Bichkékien).

Level 43

Apr 19, 2016

Nice quiz! Got all except Georgetown and Tbilisi. Didn't know Georgia was so far north ...

Level 65

Apr 19, 2016

Yes, I did a double-take.

Level 33

Apr 23, 2016

Good quiz, though I'm surprised that tashkent isn't there (or ashgabat for that matter)

Level 74

Oct 29, 2018

Tashkent is there now. I can always remember that one because it's one of the cities my parents visited on an agricultural tour of Europe and the Soviet Union in the 1970s.

Level 86

Sounds like there's a cool, interesting story about that!

I see you have edited this along with 4 other of my city featured quizzes. What change has been made?

Level ∞

Oct 22, 2016

I made some changes to type-ins. See today's front page for full details.

Level 55

Oct 17, 2017

Did all Oceanian capitals, but I missed Washington D.C.

Level 69

Jan 12, 2018

How the hell did I forget Algeria?

Level 87

Oct 26, 2018

Oceanic capitals are clearly not my forte, and it seems I'm not alone.

Level 68

Apr 7, 2021

I couldn't do them, and I live in Oceania! I would have been able to all the southern ones.

Level 85

Oct 29, 2018

The link to ">Five Southernmost Capital Cities by Continent" in the quiz notes is broken.

Level 77

Oct 29, 2018

Goddammit, Reijkavik, Nasau, Biskek. Stupid different spellings in different languages.

Level 90

Oct 29, 2018

I knew I was in trouble for Oceania when Port Moresby and Apia weren't on the list. :(

Level 46

I miss only tashkent :'(

And i wrote Uzbekistan lol :(

Level 45

Astana will have to be changed Nur-sultan since Kazakhstan changed the name of its capital city

Level 66

Mar 17, 2023

since September 2022 the name is back to Astana

Level 35

Jul 19, 2019

What sort of capital name is Ngerulmud?

Level 72

Oct 14, 2019

Apparently one that means "place of fermented (keyhole) angelfish", nice!

And don't mistake angelfish for anglerfish. Which is what I thought of when I saw the word.. (partly because english isnt my first language and didnt read the word angel as you are supposed to but more like angle. But then again that could also have been bécáuse I already had anglerfish in my mind)

Level 75

Nice quiz! Suprised Tbilisi is further north than Pyongyang and Beijing though

How is Oslo the most guessed answer?

im not surprised honestly...

My first guess.

Because there’s Norway you wouldn’t think of it!

What about Moscow?

Level 59

Nov 25, 2020

Really? Tbilisi is that far north? That feels weird...

Level 59

Dec 3, 2020

Done with 31 secs left! The "stans" fumbled me a little, since I keep forgetting that its not Astana anymore, and I typed in other capitals before landing on Tashkent. Oceanic capitals are surprisingly easy for me...

Level 66

Apr 7, 2021

If only JetPunk would accept former names as type-ins...

Level 61

Sep 1, 2024

Well, you're in luck since it is Astana now.

Level 39

Apr 7, 2021

Where is Moscow?

Level 65

Apr 7, 2021

South of Stockholm, aparently.

Level 38

Apr 7, 2021

Not even close to the top 5... from what I can tell it would be 9th in Europe, behind Dublin in 6th, Riga in 7th and Copenhagen in 8th place.

Level 38

Apr 7, 2021

Poor old Oceania, languishing at the bottom of the answer stats as always!

Level 76

Mar 17, 2023

But right at the top of the ocean! Could be worse.

Level 64

Aug 13, 2024

Bottom of the ocean soon.

Level 51

Apr 9, 2021

It was harder to me to recall Tashkent than to find all 5 Oceanian ones tbh

Level 61

Sep 1, 2024

I managed to guess all the wrong Central Asian ones.

Level 80

Dec 26, 2021

Thanks for the freebies on Melekeok and Astana.

Level 62

Feb 21, 2023

30/30 so awesome.

Level 74

Mar 17, 2023

Why was Asia so much harder for me than Oceania? Tbilisi is further north than Beijing or Tokyo? That's... kind of hard to imagine. I know it's true. And Tokyo is actually only slightly north of Los Angeles in latitude. But it's hard to imagine on a map.

Level 76

Mar 17, 2023

I've learned that my mental maps are notoriously unreliable for those sorts of comparisons.
