Just wanted to sat I really enjoyed last night's game on "Capital Cities." Since it wasn't straight-up, "What's the capital of Madagascar?" for fifteen questions it reminded me of how nice a weekly geography game would be.

With one exception - where I thought I pressed the right button for 950 but got a zero instead - I agree that it was a great game. The question that I messed up on was the oldest Scandinavian capital.

Congrats to Adams Mill for their group effort, and evidently, pressing the right buttons. :)

(Edited by RWM - This was a great game, period, although the questions seemed rather easy. It's not BT's fault that I messed up one of them.)

I agree completely. More games like this would be great - even "What is the capital of ...?" questions would be interesting for the les well-known countries.

I'm still not convinced that Oslo was founded before Copenhagen, but I haven't checked yet.

According to Wikipedia, Oslo was founded in 1049, Copenhagen in 1167.
