South America capitals quiz

South America capitals quiz: 13 questions, and the S capitals that come together

Each question lights one place and asks, say, “What is the capital of Bolivia?”. There are 13: the 12 countries and the Falkland Islands. South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands is on the map but not asked, having no capital here, and French Guiana is grey, as part of France. Four buttons: the right capital, two of the six nearest, one with the same first letter.

1. Sucre, Santiago and Stanley share an S, so they turn up together: Bolivia’s question always offers Santiago or Stanley, Chile’s always Sucre or Stanley.
2. Buenos Aires, Brasília and Bogotá do the same with B. Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela have no capital sharing their initial: any other one is the fourth.
3. A wrong pick turns red and you choose again; a second wrong pick shows the answer, and the question counts as missed.
4. The end shows, say, “Done! 12/13 in 0:58”, the misses as “Bolivia · Sucre”, and “Practise the ones I missed”.

Bolivia’s answer is Sucre, its constitutional capital; La Paz is never offered, as only the 13 capitals are. Chile’s is written Santiago. To learn where each country lies, use the South America map quiz, which finds the places.
