Geography Quizzes
Mar. 1st, 2012 12:37 pmWorld By Capital - 161 / 196
Countries With the Fewest Letters - 29 / 45
Capitals Missing a Word + Country 38 / 40 I completely blanked that it was Cape Town though I knew it was in South Africa. Also I got that Porto-? was in Benin and I knew the basic needed letters to fill in the blank - n, o, v - but I thought there was also an 'r' and I had no idea how to put it together. So basically I didn't know it.
Capitals of South America 12 / 12
Capitals of North America - 18 / 23 Ugh, I hate spelling. Tegucigalpa Honduras is my current nemesis. Also I knew, mostly, what the Dominican Republic's capital was except instead of Santo Domingo I thought it was Dominga or Dominago. Basically I thought there was an 'a' in it somewhere and when it kept coming up wrong it was making me second guess myself. I blanked on Bridgetown Barbados (meaning I would have gotten it if I'd had a list of capitals instead) and had no idea about Nicaragua (Managua) and Dominica (Roseau).
Capitals of Asia - 42 / 48 I completely blanked on Turkmenistan (Ashgabat). I knew it had started with an 'a' but I just couldn't think of it. Then there was Tbilisi Georgia which I thought had more S's in it then it did but is one I would have gotten if I'd seen the name. I am very pleased I got Brunei's Bandar Seri Begawan because I didn't think I would be able to spell it.
I didn't know: Manama Bahrain, Baku Azerbaijan, Thimphu Bhutan and Vientiane Laos.
Capitals of Africa - 34 / 54 ...yeah, not good but about what I was expecting. I knew that Africa was my weakest area.
The ones I knew: Bangui (Central African Republic) - I thought it ended had an 'e'. If I'd kept playing with the word I would have probably gotten it. Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) - spelling gets me again.
Countries I missed: Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Comoros, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Togo, Ghana, Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea and Cape Verd.
