After a few tries I got 143. I think I am happy with this score. I'm not sure 196 is possible unless you memorize a sequence of keystrokes.

I got 4 points, happy enough with that. Great quiz, but am not gonna torment myself to get a better score, not as long as there are still hundreds of quizzes I still havent taken ;)

But probably before I try sport quizzes (that go beyond "in which sport do you hit a ball with a racket" and which sport has something called a hoop" etc. of all the sports through all the ages I would struggle to give 10 names of players haha. It makes my knowledge of politicians and current muscial acts look incredible haha)

167, by trying : a followed by consonants then consonants followed by a vowel (and for some of them, r).

Of course, there are some problems like Tbilisi, Skopje, Ljubljana or Djibouti ;).

Level 72
Mar 10, 2020
one of the first couple I typed was nd(jamena) and ngerulmud and funafuti are the only 2 capitals I can remember in oceania ( besides for Aus and Nz) so I dont find it strange people try it. In quizzes like this your mind can randomly jump from one to another capital and the ones that pop up arent always the most famous ones. But 42 is higher than I expected aswell.

tripolis and tunis on the other hand are lower than I expected

+2

Pro tip:

Just try each consonant successively from the keyboard: w, r, t, y, p, s, ... and so on, with letters: a, e, u, i and o.

For example: sa, se, su, si and so.

And get 5 points: P

+1
Level 72
Mar 10, 2020
It is more fun to remember the actual capitals than to get 5 points.

just like in real life, I rather know the subject matter and have learned something and feel proud of my score (let's say 7,5/10) than not knowing the subject matter and copying and getting a 10/10.

Not saying it is technically cheating though, it just basicly becomes a different type of quiz. (not remember as much capitals, but just type fast :) )

Start with consonants and use each vowel for the second letter.

That will only give you 63 though ( left the y out, since english speaking cant seem to decide if it is a vowel or a consonant ;) jk dont leave angry comments..)
