Isn't Ottawa the capital of Canada

Level 74

Mar 11, 2020

Yes, but it's not the capital of Ontario

Level 62

Mar 11, 2020

Toronto is the capital of Ontario, that's why it wasn't there.

Level 61

Correction: It should be Grande Prairie, not Red Prairie

Level 74

Mar 11, 2020

Thanks, fixed

The Italian Islands are Sicily and Sardinia i guess, but Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, so it should'nt be here... And i don't think Venice is on one of the isles...

Level 74

Mar 14, 2020

Venice is in fact on an island

Level 66

For Scotland, Paisley, East Kilbride and Livingston are towns, not cities, so your five answers should be:

Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness and Stirling.

Got 100%

Pyeongyang is a capital of Korea, just North Korea. While South Korea may claim the whole of the peninsula, in practical terms it does not control it, but it serves and is diplomatically recognised as the capital for the North.

Level 74

May 11, 2020

We know, however Korea does not have one single capital, so either works

Level 68

May 23, 2020

Odense is spelled wrong in the Denmark one

Level 74

fixed

Level 38

But Port-au-Prince is a capital city.

Level 74

May 23, 2020

Yes, but Port-au-Prince is not the capital of Hispaniola

Level 39

May 25, 2020

Isn't London a capital? As well as Tegucigalpa, Stockholm, and a ton of other cities on this quiz.

Level 74

May 25, 2020

Those are capitals but are not the capital of the regions we are asking about

Level 44

May 26, 2020

For H countries, that is too technical. Either capitals are allowed or they aren't. What is your reasoning here - that since no city can be the capital of all the H countries, that means all capitals are allowed for this one item? Just disallow capitals and largest cities across the board so that people taking the quiz don't need to read your mind for one answer that has special but unknown rules.

Shouldn't Mumbai be accepted. Pretty sure it's the second largest city in India..

Level 87

Oct 24, 2022

Yup, by city or urban population.

Level 63

Yeah, this is a really confusing quiz.

Level 65

Jul 12, 2022

Yeah I don't get how London isn't a capital or Lima or stockholm, Helsinki, Kishasha,
