20 World Capital Pairs Closest to X but far from each other
You land on a random point X on Earth. The two closest world capitals A and B are very far from each other. List all possible A-B such that the distance between them is greater than 5,000 km.
A point X maximising distances between A-X and B-X has been chosen for each pair.
When you guess a world capital a dot on the corresponding X will appear: a large one if it is A (the closest capital), a small one if it is B. Dots that would be off the map because too near to the Poles have been moved on the border of the map.

There might be mistakes because of calculations near the Poles

Random Landings on Earth
Quiz series by scambigol

For every point on Earth, there are two capitals that are the nearest to that point. These two nearest capitals (A and B) could be close to each other or far away, depending on the point you are on (X).
In this quiz you get placed on certain points on Earth (not randomly, but on chosen points that meet the criteria, in contradiction to what the original description says) where the two nearest capitals to that point are very far away from this point (hence A-X and B-X are large).
The two capitals also have to be far away from each other (hence A-B large)
This is also why all the points that get highlighted are in the Antarctis (and for example the two nearest Capitals are Wellington and Buenos Aires, which are far away from the Antarctis but still the two nearest capitals and far away from each other) or in the remote Pacific or in the Arctis north of Russia.
Hope I could make it a little bit clearer :)
