Capital Cities in a Ring of the World Map

Given a donut ring of the world map below, can you name all the capital cities that lie inside the ring?
There are no answer boxes on purpose! The map is your only resource to name all the capitals!
Countries whose capital doesn't make the cut are greyed out.

It is really close! It doesn't quite make it inside, but it's about 10 pixels away from being inside

I tried that too! Maybe because on this map, Canberra looks like a coastal city?

I so suck at capitals. I knew a few, for the others I just typed the countries hoping some would match the capital. Bejing and peking wasnt accepted though :(

Pinyin pronunciation doesn't match English pronunciation. Peking in English is much closer to the way Mandarin speakers say the name of their capital than the way westerners say Bay-zhing.

I don't get the point of hiding answer boxes if there are dots on the map anyway? It's pretty obvious at that point how many are missing...

I like the thought, it just seems like it'd be more effective to have random order answer boxes and no dots, and then forget about the grayed out countries too.

The hiding answer boxes aren't to hide the number that are missing, it's to make it so you can't guess what's left by what gaps there are in the boxes. No boxes is equivalent to random order, so better to have none and be unique :)

You can always highlight a dot/country to see what it is afterwards, or look in the stats.

Another wonderful quiz, thanks Stewart. I'm curious - what is the actual shape of a donut projected onto a Mercator projection map like this? In other words, what would the shape of the donut here appear like on a globe?

Essentially it's a squashed ellipse. The middle would be least affected, but the top and bottom would be squished. It actually is very difficult to visualise (I tried on Google Earth) becuase the width of the interior of the ring actually covers half the globe! Truly shows how massive the Pacific is.

There are two diametrically opposite points on the globe that are both in the Pacific Ocean.

That's not entirely true - the Gulf of Thailand isn't the Pacific Ocean.

The Gulf of Thailand is part of the South China Sea, which is a marginal sea in the Pacific Ocean.
