Indeed, at only 1°21' N, South Tarawa should be included.

Count Bujumbura for Gitega because it is too recent for some people to accept the change

My strategy for jetpunk quiz - “if you think it, type it. If it’s wrong, move on”.

I sometimes miss answers cause I keep debating in my head ‘will it or won’t it’.

On this quiz I was debating with Central African Republic but I still ended up missing it cause I confused it with N’djamena.

Well, 10 were easy, and the rest were all the hard ones most of which I would never have got.

Just a suggestion, add Bandar and Juba and all captials within 5 degrees are included.
