Title: Which flight is longer
Post by: 1993matias on April 19, 2013, 01:43:45 pm

I just stumbled over this quiz, it is not so hard - if you have played AM for 10-15 years :P

What are your results?

Got 15 out of 20. Haven't played AM for a year or so, so I'm quite proud of my result.

Although not many of these aircraft are available in AM... Too small *hint* :D

And I tried that countries in Danish quiz you made. Quite easy, for a Norwegian, until I encountered Kyrgicztan or however you spell that country.

Well, the trick is to know how to spell the countries in English ;)
It's Kyrgyzstan, it's not so hard. I think the capital of Sri Lanka is worse: "Sri Jayawardenapurakotte" Try to remember that!

I don't find the Sri Lankan capital difficult to remember compared to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllant ysiliogogogoch in Wales.

I wonder what the inhabitants in those cities call their city.

Here is the shortest: Å, 7 places in Norway and one place each in Denmark and Sweden.

Also known as Bangkok :P

The shortest capital name would be four letters long: Oslo, Kiev, Lome, etc...

Bangkok? Always thought it was Bangkok, not "Krungthep..." :P

That long name is ... a long name. It means something like "the city at the river down the corner after blablabla..." It ways on Wikipedia :P

I just realized that the Sri Lankan capital isn't Colombo!
