As a personal challenge I'm trying to learn every capital city in the world. For the last week I've been using the World Capitals quiz on jetpunk.com, where 196 are listed. I test myself every morning, and try to learn at least 1 new capital every day.

As of the posting of this market (Dec 31st), I can comfortably remember 112/196.

You can keep track of my progress on this twitter thread, but I will try to also post comments on here every now and again.

• Resolves YES if I can correctly name all 196 capitals on both Jan 30th and 31st on the jetpunk.com quiz.

• Resolves NO otherwise.

• Resolves N/A if one of the 196 countries changes capital, city name, or stops existing.

I won't cheat, but because traders have no way to confirm my reports, I won't bet on this market.

Results

Well, we knew it was coming. On Jan 30th I only managed to name 185/196 capitals. And since I needed to know all of them on both the 30th and 31st, this market can resolve NO. (There's technically still time until midnight before the challenge ends, but I know I'm gonna be busy for the rest of the day, so I'm wrapping things up in the morning).

Here's a video of me taking the quiz. You might want to play it a 2x speed, unless you wanna play along.

Perhaps if I had had one more week... just one more week...
