I got Brazil and Canada and answered Brasilia and Ottawa and still got 15/15?

I have no idea then, I went through it about 3 times just to make sure but it kept giving me 13/15. Changed Brazil and Canada and got 15/15.

Other quiz is much better anyway got 116, think I could have gotten around 10 more with more time. Oceania is deadly, only got New Zealand and Australia there.

14/15 - Im a true metropolitan

fuerte1976 · 04-01-2015 12:47AM

likewise !

Stojkovic · 04-01-2015 01:20AM

15/15.

You'd want to be seriously thick to get less than 12. As for Americans, they wouldnt even know have those countries existed as they havent bombed them recently.

Same answers as yourself and got 13. Puzzled which ones were wrong.

Are you running Noscript? I got them all right and it said 13. allowed all scripts and it changed to 15

In one of the other tests, I will apparently get married at 42!

That's a fun quiz. I got 195/196. I knew Mauritius' capital started with Port but couldn't recall the second word. And I got 15/15 on the OP's quiz - that one was painfully easy.

That's impressive. Even if I knew them all I wouldn't have been able to type them that fast. As it was there were a few I knew but just couldn't get the spelling right.

That original test was ridiculous. I got them all right but only got 14/15. I blame the website or my computer, if the problem is related to the thing The Backwards Man mentioned.

One of the selections for India was Bombay, which had its name changed to Mumbai 19 years ago. :rolleyes:

I wasn't 100% about Canada.

Vienna
Rio
Istanbul

Is what I answered differently to irishc.

Are you saying that you picked Vienna, the capital of Austria, as the capital of Switzerland and still got 15/15?

I honed my skills on sporcle many years ago.

There is something definitely wrong with the test.
I got 15 correct earlier.... Then started again and asked the wife to do it... I was sniggering as she answered at least 6 wrong .... Result 15/15
Might be that I never restarted properly but I cant see that being the case.

14. didn't know the capital of switzerland

IN fairness, neither did the quiz. It's Bern, but you need to answer Zurich to get 15 out of 15

FameHungry · 04-01-2015 03:53AM

13

Topper Harley · 04-01-2015 04:10AM

I got 15 but I'm pretty sure I got them all right [EDIT - just checked, actually a couple were wrong but the right answers weren't there], though there were a couple of tricky ones in there. But I don't trust the website, I did a few other tests and they were all completely wrong... such as...

I'm going to get married at my current age apparently, which scares the shit out of me considering I'm currently happily single...unless Scarlet Johansson or Mila Kunis propose to me in the next 10 months. Which, let's face it, is quite likely to happen. :cool: Isn't it?

annascott · 04-01-2015 07:34PM

15. These are basic. I think that most 11 year olds would know them.

Highflyer13 · 04-01-2015 07:39PM

15 too easy.

Micky Dolenz · 04-01-2015 07:41PM

Easy test is easy.

Micky Dolenz · 04-01-2015 08:01PM

Always get the baltic capitols mixed up.

pickarooney · 04-01-2015 09:50PM

So based on a sample of one American posters are absolutely unbeatable at geography

Heh, I did it twice.

Good thing they didn't ask about South Africa: it has three capitals:
- Pretoria is the Administrative capital (Executive branch)
- Cape Town is the Legislative capital (Parliament)
- Bloemfontein is the Judicial capital (Supreme Court)

Take The capital City Test
