To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a '.' (a period). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the 2nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 2nd largest city).

30 minutes feels way too much. Can you make it so that the bonuses are x).5, or probably a total of 10 min?

Which capital did you use for South Africa ? I feel Gaborone – Bloemfontein should have been accepted in the ’50’ version but it didn’t.

To keep consistency with the other capital quizzes on the site, Ramallah should be the capital of Palestine istead of East Jerusalem.
