Unless you happen to live in Malta where I would expect Valletta being
your capital to be of greatest relevance to you, and whether or not New
York is the capital of the US is pointless trivia.

What is grossly obvious to you might be entirely obscure to someone
else.

Family Feud? Nope. More like Trivial Pursuit.

I dunnow, though. Maybe they're looking for people who are good at
Trivial Pursuit. If this is the case then it's a "perfect" test. :)
