30/30. O... M... G! I thought I'd never get Lahore; who knows regions of Pakistan anyway? I tried so hard thinking of any name, and then I tried Punjab although I thought that would be wrong.

Level 81

People in Pakistan probably do.

Level 90

Sep 24, 2018

Who take a lot of English language quizzes.

why wouldn't they?

Level 45

Jan 30, 2013

I felt that "Punjab" was fair game because (a) this is an English-speaking website, India and Pakistan are both English-speaking countries, and anyone who knows the geography of either will be able to name that region; (b) Punjabi cuisine, especially if you count chicken tikka masala, is now ubiquitous throughout the English-speaking world, so some people will have heard of it that way; and (c) the quiz quietly accepts "Mogul" as an alternate answer (much the way it accepts "Aragon" as an alternate answer for "Catalonia"), and the Mogul Empire was memorable enough in world history that the name "Mogul" entered the English language with the definition "a powerful person".

Level 37

Sep 2, 2014

Punjab is also a character from Little Orphan Annie, but that's mining pretty deep.

Level 22

Sep 18, 2015

Yes, Pakistan and India are both known to primarily speak English.

Level 29

Sep 19, 2015

That doesn't really make sense, Barcelona is capital city for Catalonia, not Aragon, same happens to Punjab.

Level 25

Nov 25, 2016

punjab is also a state in india

Level 28

Mar 19, 2013

i know it because i have a friend who lives in Lahore

Level 66

Mar 13, 2018

Punjab obviously

Level 45

May 31, 2018

i didnt realize it was asking for punjab....oops

Level 70

Jul 19, 2024

Punjab is one of the main regions in South Asia that someone would happen to know or at least be familiar with since it's a state/province in both India and Pakistan

Level 30

Sep 28, 2012

Wow! Great quiz & original idea! 26/30

Level 81

Jan 14, 2013

couldn't recall Punjabi... or French Guiana... or Northern Marianas... though I knew all three. :P

Level 81

Sep 18, 2015

This time got French Guiana... but forgot Mauritius.

Level 45

May 31, 2018

i thought saipan was in southeast asia. i dont know the cities from the northern marianas...

Level 67

Jun 1, 2023

Saipan's an island and major historical landmark from WWII, similar to Guam, which is how I remembered it.

Level 66

Aug 14, 2018

@qcumber were you thinking Saigon?

Level 72

Jun 20, 2019

Or taipei

Level 74

Mar 15, 2013

What do the levels mean? When I finished this quiz, I got a message saying my performance raised me to a new level. I assume this was part of the recent changes to the site.

Level 92

Mar 15, 2013

I got the same thing yesterday (level 57) and have gotten high results on a bunch of newly-taken quizzes since then, but haven't advanced a level yet. Would really like it if this were explained somewhere.

Level 76

Jun 30, 2014

Look at your name at the top right hand corner, click the drop box from that, then click stats - all is revealed there!

Level 92

Nov 10, 2016

Yes, and using the same magic of time travel, I'm now level 75!

Level 58

Mar 18, 2018

You got to level 57 without realising that the more quizzes you do the higher your level becomes, and that to get to each new level needs more points that previous ones?

Level 70

Aug 14, 2018

These comments were made in 2013. I'm guessing levels were only invented then.

Level 72

Dec 24, 2019

Atleast fitheach asked the question normally. Refreshing for a change, too many hatefull attacking comments on this site.

Level 76

Mar 15, 2013

Would've liked to have seen more capitals from more non-countries, but nice quiz nonetheless.

Level 61

Oct 13, 2023

I think it was a good mix of difficulties.

Level 29

Oct 12, 2013

Only missed "Northern Marianas" ... I tried "Marianas", "Mariana Islands", and even "Commonwealth of the Mariana Islands" ... no luck. Please accept "Marianas", that was too close to miss.

Level 45

Oct 15, 2013

Okay.

Level 37

Sep 2, 2014

It's often referred to as CNMI in print.

Level 36

Feb 10, 2014

Buenos Aires is also the capital of Pernambuco, Brazil......

Level 45

Feb 10, 2014

I think you're thinking of Recife.

Level 74

Oct 12, 2014

And Tripoli is the capital of Northern Lebanon, but it's somewhat eclipsed by the fact that it's the national capital of Libya.

Level 68

Nov 6, 2017

That's actually what I thought of first!

Level 67

Jun 1, 2023

Considering it's the second-largest city in Lebanon, though (which is more well-known than Libya), I think this answer is acceptable.

Level 33

Sep 18, 2015

Because I live in Pernambuco, I can tell you definitively that this is false. There is a small town called "Buenos Aires" in the interior of Pernambuco, but it is in no way the capital.

Level 72

Dec 24, 2019

What are the odds :)

Level 85

May 20, 2014

Loved it. Jumping back and forth between regional and national capitals really keeps you on your toes.

100%. My brother helped by looking the ones we didn't know up. If we knew were they were but didn't know the territory, I had an atlas 2 inches away from me.

Level 87

Sep 18, 2015

So you really didn't know a 100% of the answers now did you.

Level 74

Sep 18, 2015

I believe that's called cheating, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Level 67

Jun 1, 2023

So, basically, you cheated on most of the questions and are bragging about it? This quiz wasn't even that hard, too, so you're embarrassing yourself as well!

Level 59

30/30 with 3:43 left anyone beat that?

Hey quizmaster i made a quiz that is like the opposite of this? any chance of it getting featured?

Level 58

Mar 28, 2017

What do you mean "like" the opposite? Do you mean it actually is the opposite...?

Level 68

Sep 18, 2015

29/30. Missed Barcelona because I could only think of Catalan.......so close alphabetically!

Level 66

Sep 18, 2015

28/30, only missed Lahore and Saipan.

Level 33

Sep 18, 2015

Got 'em all, but I bet I was not the only person to reflexively type "Australia" for "Sydney" before realizing what the correct answer was... LOL

Level 42

Oct 17, 2015

Haha me too

I'm Australia :/

Level 37

Sep 20, 2015

Very good quiz, love the idea, ANOTHER!

Level 83

Nov 22, 2015

I tried to type Georgia but my fingers rebelled and when I looked down I had typed "egog". I laughed too much and wasted too much time.

Level 63

May 28, 2016

In all other quizzes, you have to type Czech Republic. In this quiz it works with Czech. I think you should change it to keep it consistent.

Level 83

Oct 6, 2016

Yup, all quizzes should accept Czech. Here I was left with a whole word sudddenly leftover when going to the next question

Level 45

Nov 6, 2017

The only problem is for people who know it as Czech Republic or Czechia and type the whole thing out, before realizing it accepted Czech. The people from the Czech Republic/Czechia are Czech, not the name of the country. It is like accepting Irish for Ireland or Chinese for China. If someone were to type in Czech, they would get it correct 99% of the time by typing the rest of the name.

Level 71

Aug 9, 2016

Fantastic quiz please create more!

Level 34

Aug 18, 2016

It's irritating as hell to have the yellow bar, I'd prefer if I didn't have to be ON the country to put in the answer. Just saying.

Level 83

Oct 17, 2016

If you know the answer, you know the answer.

Level 72

Jun 20, 2019

But if you dont you waste a lot of time moving the yellow bar to skip the ones you dont know. On phones or tablets this is a pain.

and there is not really a point in this case, it is not like people will accidently type catalonia for sydney..

Level 23

Oct 13, 2016

didnt know massachusetts was considered a territory.

Level 67

Jun 1, 2023

What, so it's its own country? If it's part of a country, it's a territory of that country, right?

Level 39

May 20, 2017

Hanoi is not the capital of vietnam...it is ho chi minh city

Level 36

Ho Chi Minh city is the new name for Saigon (which used to be South Vietnam).

Would you mind adding Bayern as a correct answer for Bavaria?

Level 72

Jun 20, 2019

On other quizzes it does accept bayern

Level 82

Mar 30, 2021

...when the clue is München, yes, But it isn't.

Tripoli is the largest city in northern Lebanon and the second-largest city in the country. It is the capital of the North Governorate and the Tripoli District.

Accept Czechia

I think you should accept Guyane for French Guiana but other than that great quiz!

Level 74

Jul 19, 2018

I immediately tried "Wyoming" for "Cayenne". Close, I guess...

Level 70

May 24, 2019

Sooo proud! 30/30 :-)

Level 71

Sep 6, 2019

Please accept " Guyane Française " for " French Guiana " or at least " Guyane "

Level 66

Dec 24, 2019

Same suggestion. Would make sense since it's the proper original name.

Level 51

Nov 13, 2019

I want to own a sports team in French Guyana named the Cayenne Peppers. Our uniforms would be mostly red, but would include a bright green helmet or cap. Our cheerleaders would be called the Ghost Peppers due to their high placement on the

Scoville scale.

Level 69

Dec 1, 2020

You'd have to call them the "Piments de Cayenne" !

Please accept Xizang for Tibet

Tripoli is also the capital of Peloponnese in Greece. You should add that as well.

Please include CNMI as a type-in. I tried it and then assumed it was wrong and moved on to other guesses.

You should also accept Capitol hill for Northern Mariana Islands.

Level 68

Jul 11, 2024

Saipan is not the capital of Capitol Hill

Level 59

Quite a nice challenge. Completely missed Lhasa for whatever reason
