I challenge you nerds to world capitals

[Myzozoa]

https://www.britannica.com/quiz/capital-cities-of-the-world-quiz

I got 159/195 and 3566 total score

so far one #current events user, EviGaro, beat my percentage score and got 166/195 which is very impressive to me as an american, and I would be interested in their total score. Gato came very close but probably due to variance in guessing came in a bit lower at 154/195.

rules: only one try, don't be a loser who tries more than once to show off in a smogoff thread.

I can finally use my autism for forces of good

if it were type-in I'd have missed a dozen or so, but multiple choice AND the choices being other countries' capitals is just too easy

Pretty sure this is just an airline

The quiz was too laggy for me, so i got the Britannica countries list and tried to fill them in myself... without multiple choice.

Score: 150/195

Excuses:
Burundi (changed capital in 2019, got the old one)
Iceland (just put down "Iceland" <____<)
Kazakhstan (changed name in 2019, got the old name)
Palau (put melekeok, which is technically the capital district but i've seen some atlases use it?)
Sri Lanka (i got one of them!)

Big Misses: Colombia, Malaysia, New Zealand (not Auckland?), Nigeria, Pakistan, Serbia, Thailand
Misses Europe/Asia: Bahrain, Oman, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan
Misses Africa: Benin, C.A.R., Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Sierra Leone, The Gambia
Misses N/A: Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Guyana, Nicaragua, Suriname
Misses Islands (yes some are in above continents): Antigua and Barbuda, Comoros, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Solomon Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, Tuvalu, Vanuatu

171/195, 3875 points

Memorizing all european capitals for extra credit in middle school geography definitely helped. Also here's me being very dumb at 7:30 am

I can very nearly do this without the multiple choice, so with it, it was quite easy. Annoyed to have missed 2 :(

 

[Sijih]

why did they make this so hard???????????

xtra

my actual results were 146/195, i'm pretty bad at geography.
also i intended to get 0/195 my second time around but i wasn't paying attention so misclicked a lot (and also geography really isn't my strong suit)

i know them all anyway from doing sporcle quizzes at an old job i hated but the multiple choice makes the ones that are usually tricky to remember (pacific island countries) too easy

my successful answers divided into three separate categories:

- places ive been on holiday
- war zones i know about from the news
- guessing the name that looks like it would fit best

(would've been 170 if I hadn't misclicked on Panama):

Pretty good, given I have never explicitly studied capitals for the reason of knowing them or anything. With it being multiple choice, the quiz was easier to do. I think I got all European capitals too, so that's something.

e: fun fact, Monaco and Singapore (and Vatican City) do not actually have official capitals, as city-states are composed only of one city, so the designation isn't needed

Did anyone else have a problem with accidentally clicking another answer after you had already chosen your first answer and you were waiting for "Next Question"? I did this two times and each time I wouldn't be able to select an answer and I would just get timed out over and over again, basically making all my remaining answers wrong. Had to restart twice because of this.

147/195

[Oglemi]

Was on a good streak and then the site gave me a redirect ad :( big sad, but def was not getting above 180, too many islands and -istans to keep track of lol
