Here’s your second weekly Zoom Cardiff quiz fix to play with your mates

Welcome to the second week of ‘Diff quizze where we give you two rounds of Cardiff related quiz questions so that you can spice up your weekly Zoom quiz. Let’s be honest, we’re all running out of questions at this point. If you missed the first week, don’t panic, you can find the first two rounds here.

Again, the rules are really easy. First are the questions, and then the answers are at the bottom to avoid the person reading the questions accidentally seeing the answers (we’ve all got that one friend who finds a way to cheat at every game). Let’s dive in…

Round One – Welsh Trivia

The first round is all about Wales. Of course, if you are Welsh then you have a slight advantage so I’ve added some hints for the non-welsh to have a better chance.

1. What colours are in the Welsh Flag? (If you don’t get this one then I think you should probably be banned from Wales)
2. What is the Welsh name for St David? Hint: think shopping centre
3. Name the Welsh national flower?
4. What is the highest mountain in Wales called? Hint: it’s in one of the Welsh national parks, and has a very similar name to it.
5. What is the name of the River that flows through Cardiff? Hint: think SU pub.
6. What is the name of the rugby stadium in Cardiff?
7. How many national parks are there in Wales? (Extra points for naming them)
8. What Welsh comedian is known for his stand up shows such as ‘The cat that looked like Nicholas Lyndhurst’? Hint: He also has a show on the BBC called ‘Work Experience’
9.  What is the second most populated city in Wales?
10. In what year did Cardiff become a capital city? (allow + or -10 years)

Round Two – Landmarks of Cardiff

Being a first year student, I really didn’t know there were this many places to see in Cardiff. Other than Taly, Maccies and the clubs, I haven’t ventured out much. Let’s see how well you can name the Cardiff landmarks that we all know and love. Turn on share screen for this one quiz masters, it’s a picture round.
