Which flight is longer

[1993matias]

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

http://www.sporcle.com/games/DarkPhalanx/which-is-a-longer-flight

What are your results?

[norge]

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

[1993matias]

Not bad! How about this one?

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

[norge]

Managed 14. Got all of the Cessnas

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.

[1993matias]

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!

[norge]

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

Wait, there is an even longer city name 

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipuka kapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, New Zealand

[1993matias]

Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit

This is longer.

[norge]

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.

Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit
Also known as Bangkok

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

[norge]

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

[1993matias]

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

[norge]

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