I'm no great shakes at World capitals, but it was easy finding them in a sentence save 1 or 2 of them.
My score's 12.
please don't go pinching rd mindbenders.
my score, i think, was 13 or 14. can't be bothered to do it again.
um... that sounds snappy.
anyway, i've just added the credit, missed it.
A few of them took some time, but on the whole they were all quite simple. Mine's 15. But I don't know about the Marco Polo thing, I've never been abroad.
