World By Capital - 146 / 196
Progressively Harder Capitals - 36.9% - Sierra Leone I had no idea. Apparently it's Freetown! I'd thought that was one of the Caribbean islands. I did cheat a bit on this one - I completely blanked on Belgrade Serbia (and casually purused my 'geography games' tag, and then I just could not spell Ascuncion. I knew it was the capital of Paraguay and I knew the general sound of it and the letters needed but I couldn't put it together - so I searched for it.
It's interesting to see which capitals most people find easy/hard. I was surprised by some of the placements. This will definitely be a game I'll play more.
Capital Trip - 11 / 24 Not great. I'll try again at some later date once I've forgotten the quiz.
