Crisps Cryptic Capital Cities Quiz Mk II!

Oh yes! Another round of 10 deceptively fiendish conundrums for you all to decipher

(OK, so they're probably not that hard, but still)

If you missed the first one (it was a while ago), the original thread is here (go to the last page to see the answers and how my clues work)

I WILL give out nearly 200 points of Crispy goodness if you manage to get them all correct :smile:

Answer via PM please (you may answer as many times as you wish) I will also keep you updates with your scores but don't expect a quick reply, especially as I may have quite a few to go through.

I will set a deadline of ONE WEEK (that is, untill midnight on Wednesday 14th February), or, untill I get the first full setof correct answers.

For the record, all cities used are taken from this list.

Depending on how it goes I may give out continent clues in a few days time.

Note that there may be more than one answer that fits the clue, I am only looking for one city per question.

Good luck :smile:

[Oh, and for the record, none of the cities in this quiz were used in the last one]

Yay! Thanks! I actually did enjoy your challenging yet fun competition. And may I just say that question seven was a tricky one :wink:

At least I can now say that I'm not dumb when it comes to world geography afterall. :rofl:
