QOD Sunday 12/02 "WORLD CAPITALS"

[Rexer25]

WORLD CAPITALS

This one should be fairly straightforward. For each country, list its current capital city. Both this and Saturday's game will be open through Monday night up to Midnight Mountain.


1. Canada

2. Chile

3. Latvia

4. Malaysia

5. New Zealand

QOD: The former capital of Turkey has had many different names, three of which are well known. I am referring to its first name, its eponymous name, and its current name. What are they?

Edited to add that I am a dumbass (no matter how many times you proof....). The QOD should be "the FORMER capital of Turkey". Also adding the missising bonus question:

5 Point Bonus: What is the CURRENT capital of Turkey?

Spoiler

1. Ottawa
2. Santiago
3. Gotme
4. Malay
5. Christchurch

QOD: All I can think of is Constantinople and Istanbul

Bonus: Ankara

Wintergreen, I was going to give you a smarty pants point yesterday for knowing that Browning called EBB his little Portuguese, but I'm taking it away for the Nova Roma, I specifically gave the three hints so nobody would say 'ha, what about Nova Roma, huh?' Ha! (Btw, does everybody know who you are by now so I can call you what I want to instead of your given name of wintergreen?)

5 Point Bonus: What is the CURRENT capital of Turkey?

Ankara

(Angora was also okay, although I don't think anybody gave that one without saying Ankara as well)

Those who know, know. Don't know if that is everybody. But it is everybody that knows.

Know what I mean?
