    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    15/15, definitely a couple of tricky ones in it though, like the capital city in Australia, Brazil, Belgium and Switzerland.

    (I did get the capital city of Ireland though, kinda helped :D)

    I'd be very surprised if anyone got 12 or less on that.

    15, thought I was very clever when I did it through facebook, then I seen the results of some ex school mates and realised that everyone seems to get 15 :)

    Unless you are American. If you score more than 4 and American. You are practically a genius.

    I got 13/15 and it doesn't say which ones I got wrong, only I didn't get any wrong.

    Australia - Canberra
    Canada - Ottawa
    Switzerland - Bern
    Brazil - Brasilia
    Turkey - Ankara

    I'm guessing the quiz is badly made and it has 2 of the above wrong. The others I got were:

    Norway - Oslo
    Spain - Madrid
    Greece - Athens
    Belgium - Brussels
    Japan - Tokyo
    Egypt - Cairo
    India - New Delhi
    Finland - Helsinki
    Estonia - Tallinn
    Ireland - Dublin

    None of those answer are wrong.

    This quiz is much better. You have 12 minutes to name as many capitals as you can out of 196. I got 94.
