Sorry about the state capital one for the non-Americans. 90% of the geography-based questions I've asked have been international and I wanted to mix it up from my norm. Thought 7 would be manageable since there are so many western/mid-western states and over half of them are well-known internationally.

@Slowswift You're up, since you got 7 (and you were right!)

You way overestimate my knowledge of US geography.

@Slowswift So are my answers satisfactory? The game seems to have stalled.

I'd say assume they are and pose another question. 

[+Slowswift]

Oh. Oh. Oops. Sorry about that. Yes, continue on, please!

[Sunbird she/her]

Ok then. WLIU name 9 European countries and their capitals.

I don't even know what your question means. Can anyone explain it to me so I at least know if I know the answer?

You'd know if you've read the Wheel of Time series. Though, it's a crazy tough question, one I definitely can't answer.

You've never read The Wheel of Time, have you?

 Google says I'm right about Clarke but we're still one short.

We are the 3%!

As for the big three... is one of them H.G Wells?

Might one of the Big Three be Frank Herbert, the author of Dune IIRC?

[Eagle of the Forest Path he/him]

OK, so I've seen

1. Isaac Asimov
2. Arthur C. Clarke

One more to go. The big 3 are all from the same "era", so HG Well is too early and Frank Herbert is slightly too late.
Just a little hint: Think military science fiction.

[little wilson she/her]

I'm going to guess that the third is Carl Sagan.

I'll check upon posting this, and if it's wrong, as per the rules of the game, I'll post a funny pic and the right answer.

Name 6 Oceanic countries and their capitals

 

EDIT: Looks like it was Robert Heinlein. Oops. Well, here's your funny gif (since I like gifs better than pics):

3. Papua New Guinea: Port Moresby

I got up to your first three + HaTikvah (Israel). Maybe one of the Europeans can answer this one better?

[Eagle of the Forest Path he/him]

I'll add
6. La Marseillaise (France)
and
7. La Brabançonne (Belgium)
but that's all I've got.

(And here I thought Australia's anthem was Waltzing Mathilda  )

[Sunbird she/her]

I'm not entirely sure that this hasn't changed since WWII, but....

8. Deutschland Uber Alles (Germany)

According to urban legend it was a toss up between Advance Australa Fair and Waltzig Matilda, until it was decided that you reeeaaaalllyy shouldn't have a national anthem that involves sheep theft.
