That's right. Another possible answer is 'C'.
I was also thinking 'C' but then I guess it would be in the Trick category.
I suppose you are right. I did not think of that. My geography teacher DID actually play this trick on a friend of mine...
But, why would they even be asking for the capital of a country that had had a peaceful division take place? LOL. Good teaser.
Capital C ha ha ha I get it! I agree w/ the last comment too.
Fairly easy
I like this one, good job.
Can't really see the point of asking for the capital of a country that doesn't exist any longer.
This should be under trick not trivia.
