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.

Great quiz though, now the time is increased.

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.

Whew! 100%, time used: 25:35

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.

After learning all the countries, capitals, states, etc over 2 years ago now with some rehearsal since, I returned to this quiz.

I find if you want to complete the quiz at the hardest difficulty, don't use the map (zoom in to the bottom left corner).

I completed the quiz with 100% after 21 minutes 15 seconds with no map or using the answer chart.

Quizmaster, is there a reason why you would accept 'Mexico', "Guatemala', 'Salt Lake', ... but not 'Oklahoma', 'Jefferson', ...?

I wouldn't mind a correction in either direction, but right now, it doesn't really make sense to me?

Quizmaster

Because the world doesn't conform to consistency expectations of trivia takers.

Salt Lake City is often called simply "Salt Lake". "I was in Salt Lake this weekend for a conference".

Oklahoma City is not generally called "Oklahoma".

When it comes to Mexico and Guatemala I was assured by people in those places that leaving "City" out was appropriate.

Love this quiz; do it almost every day! Average time is about 22 minutes. Goal is to do it in less than 20. Also to not forget any and go back by looking at the list. Usually I have just a few (anywhere from 1 to 10) that I had forgotten, mostly small countries. Twice I got them all without having to look at the list.
