I agree with others. This needs WAY more time. I did not stop and think very much at all, and I had all of Africa remaining. If you finished in time, great for you; clearly you are fast at typing. Those of us that are not as fast should have enough time to type our answers. Otherwise, title should be changed to indicate the speed necessary. Great quiz besides the time given.

Been coming back to this quiz for a few years now to see if I can get faster times, I think its a great quiz and one that should and could be up there with the generic countries of the world and the US states. If the map of the US would align with the map underneath it and if some of the capitals were updated like Burundi's going to Gitega, apart from that I think this deserves all the nominations in the world as its one for the geo-veterans.

Cotonou was sneaky. I had done Porto-Novo. Got to the end and had 1 missing. Zoomed in all over the map and couldn't find the missing one as Porto-Novo completely covered it! Suddenly came to me.

Mar 10, 2023
This was an awesome quiz, but I had the same issues. I didn't think of Cotonou while looking at the list, and had a hard time seeing the circle on the map. The combination made finding that last spot challenging. I would recommend shrinking the circles when zoomed in if possible. That would help with identifying locations in the dense areas.

That was a lot of work. I only forgot Annapolis, Maryland in the US (my own country, but it's crowded in that region).

One tip: do all the small countries/capitals first, so as to not forget them (Vatican City, San Marino, etc). Focusing on the ones that are difficult to see on the map helps, since you can't ignore the big ones.
