The last category, "Countries and Capitals" is a little confusing. Since you ultimately ask for a city, it'd better be just "capitals".

But then you lose half the answers. The point is you don't know whether it's a city or a country until the end. So you've got to think about the countries and capitals at the same time.

So it would be maybe better to say "countries or capitals"

Because I was trying answers like Monaco or Luxembourg (countries and capitals)

I agree and understand where you're coming from, but also using common sense, did you really think there were 90 European countries that had the same capital as their country name?

Got fortunate starting the blue section with UK for 2 answers, then jumping to Ireland for the 3rd. Same for pink: started with Bern, which took me right to the final hint. Takes so much pressure off when you can fly through 1 or 2 boxes.

With the blue box, I guessed Norway for the first one, and got Ireland on all the others, leaving more time to think about the other boxes, because i didnt need to think about that category.

100%. The last one was most difficult for me. Somehow I thought the country the capital is in shouldnt have a coastline either. (Only one I could think of was skopje, but it actually has 6 letters and not 5)

Stewart, I have two questions:

1) I noticed that in Category Elimination quizzes, most have a miniature in the same way as yours in this quiz, but with different colors. Where did this miniature come from? Is it Jetpunk property? And what color do you advise me to use for the quiz that I will quote below?

2) I am creating a Americas Geography quiz from Category Elimination, and it is based on your quiz, and another one, of which it is a continuation. I asked the creator, now, but as it is based on yours too, I need your permission. Do you allow?

+1

No problem - and good luck! For Americas I would use the Red one that appears on the Category Elimination US States quiz. The only way to get this image would be to "copy a featured quiz" and make your quiz by copying the US States #1.

The image itself was uploaded direct to JetPunk, so you won't find it conveniently online.

Woo hoo! I got 20/20 despite not knowing my capitals really at all. I could definitely crush many more of these quizzes if I learned all the world capitals and flags, but then again, I like to live dangerously.
