I really like this idea. The hint "J" in the beginning is wrong, however, which made it really hard for me to find the right pair.

Great quiz. I echo Dasc's comment. I basically gave up, just looked at the top row, and then started again. Made it to Niamey before time ran out.

Wonderful quiz. It will be interesting so see how average score shakes out once enough people take the quiz. If the number is low, I might suggest color-coding the answer boxes by continent. That will at least make sure you're searching in the right area. Thanks.

Projecting a globe onto a flat map really distorts distances.

I wish I could nominate this one, but I guess I can't because it has been spotlighted?

This one definitely deserves points.

You can't nominate it because it has more than 100 answers.

Finally did it, in 17:27. The last 20 or so are incredibly confusing.
