I guessed all these three but not Tunis. *facelegpalm*

I thought so, I was quite confused when I found out Zagreb is closer than Vienna but it now makes sense.

vatican doesnt show on the map, i was so confused

Nice quiz! How exactly did you set up the dots?

Level 59

Nov 3, 2016

The Quizmaster set them up.

Level 80

Nov 4, 2016

Good job! I guess ideally you split the Rome/Vatican circle in two halves so they're both visible

Level 14

Nov 4, 2016

We'll see what we can do about that.

Level 78

Nov 23, 2016

Yeah, 19/20, I only missed Vatican City because Rome's circle was on it. It would be better to split them.

Level 95

or maybe have a very small dot in main dot?

Level 80

Nice.

Wonderful idea for a quiz

Man, intuitively, Zagreb being closer than Berlin is weird.

Level 14

Nov 10, 2016

Berlin is 1871 km away.

Level 68

Oct 4, 2023

Berlin is in the very northeastern part of Germany.

Can never spell Ljubljana for the life of me! Great quiz though.

There's no dot for the Vatican

Level 59

Mar 4, 2017

There is one! If you zoom in on the Rome dot, you'll see that there is a dot below it. The Vatican dot is a bit hidden since it's much smaller than Rome.

Wow 0:05 left I'm happy I found them all :)

Nice quiz. Great use of the map again.

Algiers? Where does the "s" at the end come from? Missed it as I wrote Algier. Could you please correct it or at least accept both versions as answer?

Level 14

Aug 14, 2017

It's always been Algiers in English. It's Algier in German, Alger in French, and Argel in Spanish and Portuguese.

Level 76

Aug 18, 2025

In Dutch it is Algiers as well, checking wiktionary, nearly all other languages do not use an s.

Level 87

Jul 8, 2020

Interesting. I didn't know that it was spelled without an S in other languages.

Level 47

Jul 9, 2020

It's also just Algier in Danish

Level 73

Hah, the Vatican is a trick question. I didn't think about when I typed in Rome, but luckily San Marino was the second last I got, and that got me to Vatican.

Level 64

Jun 2, 2020

Near miss- the Vatican.

Level 87

Jul 8, 2020

So, I see that I have 19/20, but there isn't a blue dot left to fill in. I eventually realized that it was the Vatican, but it's kind of mean-spirited to have one dot represent two answers.

Level 58

What projection is the map in?

Level 71

Apr 8, 2021

I only missed 2 : Zagreb and "Andorra la Vella", though I had it. The fact is that I use the French spelling "Andorre-la-Vieille" (bc im french lol), and it works on a lot of quizzes. Thus, I didn't know the true name before today. Would be nice to add it though

Level 63

Oct 10, 2023

If it does work on most other quizzes then it should work for this yeah

Level ∞

Oct 10, 2023

It doesn't work on most other quizzes. We use standard, automatic type-ins that are the same on nearly all featured quizzes including this one.
