3) Ouagadougou

4) Uruguay

Correct on both counts.

I got no idea on the other three so i won't cheat. Believe me when i say, i am ridiculously good when it comes to capitals. It might look suss but there is no cheating involved whatsoever.

We should have a face-off one day (actually not, that would make us nerds).

In an end of term quiz (for Maths of all things) we had a capitals test and the teacher asked 9 semi-hard questions, then she asked Burkina Faso trying to be wise and catch us out and I got it right and instead of accepting my genius she instead casted about for ways I could have cheated.  For shame.

Nothing wrong with being proud of your intelligence.

Love it when you outsmart a teacher too

Wasn't Hitler born in Salzberg (sp) or somewhere like that?

No.  Not far away though.

im often ridiculed for my extensive knowledge of capitals

embrace it though i say

5. Hitler born in Braunau? Only thing I remember about Social Studies
