20:36 They changed the capital from Colombo to Kotte in 1977, it's just that people still think Colombo is the capital because Kotte is literally right next to it, within the larger metropolitan area.
The capital of Tanzania is Dodoma. Dar es salaam is the biggest city but not the capital, Dodoma has been the capital since 1973 before that it was Dar es salaam. Greetings from a Dutchman who has lived in Tanzania❤️🇹🇿🇳🇱
Dar es Salaam for Tanzania and Lagos for Nigeria really messed with me when I attempted this challenge, because I _knew_ neither of them were the capital but they were both the only cities that came to my mind despite my best efforts.
For the Seychelles you probably thought about Mahe, which is the name of the biggest island of the Seychelles. But their capital has always been Victoria.
I managed 163 before giving up. The one that I spent ages on was Brunei, I just couldn't spell it and it was so infuriating. I knew the Sri Lanka one and I should have probably just typed in Kotte and it would have accepted it but I was trying to spell the Sri Jayawardenapura bit and gave up. My Uganda moment though was with St Lucia. I have seen every freakin' photosphere of St Lucia, I feel I could make my way around the capital without a map and find my way and recognise most of the stores, and I could not for the life of me remember the name. Just realised that RU-vid comments are now italicised, you are the recipient of my first italicised comment. 🙂
Wow its so cool to see u posting these sporacle quizzes. I found your channel while getting into geoguessr a bit ago and i found sporacle while trying to get better. But that led me to use sporacle studying more then i actually play geoguessr😂 Its really a great resource, Flags, Capitals and Geographical locations. Just wanted to say thanks for helping me kickstart my love for geography! 👊🏻 Edit: ik its not sporacle your using but same quizzes 😂
This is such a great first attempt. I always thought I had a reasonable knowledge about geography and capital cities, but when I first tried this last year I only got ~50.
Freetown is Sierra Leone, Monrovia is the capital of Liberia. Also, I would share my “trick” for remembering Benin and Togo but it’s significantly more confusing than it is useful.
SJK is the textbook answer teach in schools and thats where the parliment is. But even among the natives, Colombo is considered the commercial/modern day capital.
something i learned for costa rica and puerto rico is that their capitals are both san j___, and then the next vowel in the capital name is the same vowel as in the countries name (example, san jOse cOsta rica, san jUan pUerto rico)
