Fix the South America Map
Someone has labelled a map of South America with its 12 countries and their capitals, and 8 of the labels are wrong. Click every wrong label in 1:30; three clicks on a right label end the round. Every play is a new map.

How it works and sources
Every round is new: the wrong labels are picked at random from the map. A wrong label shows the name of a nearby place of the same kind (usually a neighbour), two neighbours swap names, or three neighbours pass their names round. A challenge link replays exactly the same map.
Clicking a label that is right is a strike, and three strikes end the round. Sporcle's version has no strike limit, but then clicking every label in turn would always win.
Labels sit on each place. Where a place is too small for its name (microstates, islands and the smallest states), the label sits nearby with a line to a dot on the place. Zoom in to read the crowded areas.
The 12 countries of South America are labelled with their capitals. French Guiana (part of France) and the Falkland Islands are shown in grey without labels.
Capitals are the ones in our capital quizzes. For Bolivia that is La Paz, the seat of government.
A wrong capital may also show a famous city of the same country that is not the capital, such as Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Guayaquil in Ecuador.
