What is the capital of Luxembourg (Belgium)?
The name "Luxembourg" is attached to more than one geographical entity. Perhaps the best known is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a sovereign state within the European Union, with Luxembourg City as its capital. Luxembourg is also the name of a province of Belgium. Luxembourg is in fact the largest province of Belgium and is 72% larger than its neighbouring cousin, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The province forms part of Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium.
The capital of Luxembourg -- the Belgian province, not the Grand Duchy -- is Arlon and its history dates back to Roman times. It is a small city (about 28,000 inhabitants) as you can imagine from the accompanying photograph.

Trick... It should have been specified
Al Breyette
Should have been more specific in the question and specified Grand Duchy or province. Trick question and he got me.

The capital of Luxemberg is Luxemberg City per 3 references. You should have specified the Grand Duchy. I think you like for people to have an incorrect answer (according to you). You owe me 15 points!! This is a disgusting ruse!!

Should have been much better worded that what was offered.

Something very wrong with the presentation of any question which only results in 6% correct answers.
Marian Spitzig
You gave the clue with Belgium in parentheses. Thanks for the question

This is a tricky question in that it should've specified province not the nation.

Do not like the question, confusing. Not specific. Bad question.

Been there but still didn't understand the difference-so missed it! I won't blame the question however,because I learned something I should have known
