4/10 Not bad. I guess you could say I had a "Wales" of a time.

Level 24

Jan 23, 2025

that... was a good one.

Level 10

Jan 23, 2025

4/10 but "Dragon on flag..." thanks to snooker matches on Eurosport...

If you come not from Wales, it is hard to answer all questions.

Level 65

Jan 23, 2025

I'm English and have only been to Wales once, I educated guessed the last one but everything else was something I knew, 10/10, second best score of all time, my Dad also got 10/10 and his best score of all time (more points than me too!).

Level 89

Jan 23, 2025

Haha my mum also got her best ever score, and I think only her 2nd or 3rd ever 10/10

Level 66

Jan 24, 2025

I got 10/10 as a French, but I have to admit last one was pure luck! Well I proceeded by elimination, removing 2 answers because of where they are from, but I had no clue on the origins of the other two, including the correct answer. And now that I’ve checked their origin, it still doesn’t make sense hahaha!

Hope one day I can get there! Cheers!

I actually really liked this quiz being themed around Wales. I only got 6/10, but I guess I got some freebies seeing as how the animal on the flag and Gareth Bale come up a lot when I play FIFA :P

Level 89

Jan 23, 2025

Omg I did it, my best score of all time, 9,939!🎉🎉🎉 In fairness Wales is only about an hour from me on the train, so this theme fell very nicely for me, no guesses required 😂

Level 84

Jan 23, 2025

9923, damn you, frankiilynx 😅

I lost quite a bit of time reading the answers to the longest village name, but yea this quiz fell pretty kindly for me, had 2 or 3 995 answers

Level 89

Jan 23, 2025

Ahh yeah that one was my slowest too, read all the other answers before getting to the right one haha

And thank you, not too shabby yourself! 😁

Level 84

Jan 23, 2025

Amazing score btw

Level 85

Jan 23, 2025

Yeah, cracking score. I was a bit slow, particularly on the last one, which in the end I guessed (correctly). Scored 9891.

Level 76

Apr 19, 2025

9700 for me, but by my standards I consider that fast haha

(took a lot of time thinking about Harry vs William, I seem to have only one memory slot for both of them, so all details about them get added to both of them instead of one of them)

yo does anyone know what the theme is for this one?

+12

Level 68

Jan 23, 2025

Hmm, theres a new one. Not theme paranoia, but theme blindness. Duly noted

Level 72

Jan 23, 2025

Marine biology.

Level 44

Jan 23, 2025

Hungary probably

Level 95

Jan 23, 2025

Mongolia

Level 72

MKF never fails to be my favorite user in the comment section.

Level 55

Whales??? :-)

Level 83

Jan 23, 2025

I gathered myself after the first question and mentally reviewed everything I knew about whales and wailing. I had spermaceti and banshees locked and loaded. Then it was just Wales questions and missed two. Really kicking myself for the two I missed too, because I had it 50/50 for both and picked the more unlikely one for both because these quizzes are often tricky.

Level 40

Jan 23, 2025

7/10. Better than some of my recent performances so I'll be content with it

Level 68

Jan 23, 2025

Missed 4,8, and 10. I assume #4 is a reference to a song?

Level 86

Jan 23, 2025

Yup.

The singer of that song is the biggest giveaway for the answer.

Level 46

Jan 23, 2025

I'd imagine most brits will nail this quiz like I did 10/10, last one is the most tricky

Level 66

Jan 23, 2025

Would be interesting to see what today's average score is for the UK, wouldn't suprise me if it's over 9000.

Level 53

Jan 23, 2025

9/10 I've never heard of Edward Longshanks.

Level 69

Jan 23, 2025

Edward I, also known as The Hammer of the Scots.

Level 85

Jan 23, 2025

Scottorum Malleus after his death. During his lifetime he spoke French. Proper English hero.

Level 65

Jan 23, 2025

... and notable anti-semite. He expelled all jews from England a decision not reversed until the otherwise fairly vile Oliver Cromwell.

Level 68

Jan 23, 2025

He featured prominently in the movie "Braveheart"

Level 72

Jan 23, 2025

Deg pwynt wedi'u sgorio

Wales, Wales, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Level 86

Jan 23, 2025

Got 7/10 with 1 lucky guess. And doubted about 2 answers but picked both wrong (Longshanks and Coalmining).

Not too shabby I suppose for a 'country' I know little about.

Level 64

Jan 23, 2025

I had a rarebit of fun with that and got 9/10. Alls well that ends welsh I guess

Level 64

Jan 23, 2025

And at least they’ve stopped that nonsense about the longest place name in the world! NZ all the way there..

Level 65

Jan 23, 2025

Whoo hoo! Helps that I'm English I guess.

With time bonus, your score is 9,896

You beat or equaled 100% of test takers

This is your BEST SCORE all-time!

Level 86

Jan 23, 2025

Congratulations

Level 44

Jan 23, 2025

think i just beat you dude - 9969!

Level 55

Jan 23, 2025

10/10 and my best ever score 9913.

Not Welsh, but suspect most people from UK would know most of them.

Level 70

Jan 23, 2025

Full marks and my best score too: 9911! When I realised the topic, being from Liverpool, I thought this was going to be a good opportunity for full marks in a quick time.

Level 89

Jan 23, 2025

Nice, another fellow scouser, get in la!

Level 76

Apr 19, 2025

Not from the UK but this felt as one of the easiest so far

+10

Level 43

Jan 23, 2025

You dont understand my excitment when I saw it was about Wales. My first 10/10 and it was for my own country.

Level 58

Jan 23, 2025

Please tell me you're from llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Level 25

Jan 23, 2025

I know nothing about Wales... ;_;

Level 83

Jan 23, 2025

My best score of all time 9918 - and I'm not even Welsh!

Level 70

Jan 23, 2025

8/10. Who knew Jones was that popular in Wales? And I should have paid more attention to the year in the music question. I just went for the easy Enya.

Level 58

Jan 23, 2025

I would have missed that one if not for the hint!

Level 89

Jan 23, 2025

Tbf it definitely does sound like something Enya would write a song about, only knew that one because I have several massive Fleetwood Mac fans in my family

Level 62

Jan 23, 2025

6/10 isn't bad for not knowing anything about across the pond! Some good guesses today

Level 74

Jan 23, 2025

As an American I can live with 7/10.

Level 58

Jan 23, 2025

I LOVE getting to bust out my knowledge of llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!

Level 85

Jan 23, 2025

Do you know the song?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvCq9_Hdbzo

Level 44

Jan 23, 2025

I managed to get 8/10 despite not being Welsh. Not bad at all!

Level 68

Jan 23, 2025

3/10! A new personal worst!!

Level 91

Jan 23, 2025

Going too fast, and missed the hint on the most common surname. Furious with myself. Would've been #1 on my leaderboard for probably the first time ever.

Level 29

Jan 23, 2025

7/10, I'm more than happy on Wales quiz than yesterdays quiz

Level 95

Jan 23, 2025

8/10 for me. Knew nothing of Welsh industry, and it's the most I can do to remember the names of the kings, not what they did. Though I suppose conquering Wales is a pretty big deal.

Level 45

Jan 23, 2025

10/10 today. 9843, does help that I’m 40 miles away from the Welsh border though.

Level 44

Jan 23, 2025

10/10, with a score of 9969!

Best ever score, and apparently I beat or equaled 100% of players?!?

Level 83

Jan 23, 2025

That's a phenomenal score on any day! You're fast!

Level 58

Jan 23, 2025

I was doing well then blew it on the last three :'(

Level 85

Jan 23, 2025

5/10. Not bad considering the topic is Wales.

Level 42

Jan 23, 2025

Not trying to pass the buck or anything because I did get the question wrong, but I think that when you do a question where the choice are monarchs, they should either all be their wordy name (Richard the Lionheart, Edward Longshanks, Henry of Monmouth) or they should be their name plus their regnal number (Richard I, Edward I, Henry V) It's confusing when you use both

Level 80

Jan 23, 2025

The way question 4 is written is brilliant.

Level 21

Jan 23, 2025

1/10. I am not from there. Don't expect me to know any of it.

Level 64

Jan 23, 2025

The History of English podcast has some great information about the name Wales. It derived from what the Anglo-Saxons called foreigners, e.g. Celts who didn't speak their language. It's how you get names like Wallace up in Celtic Scotland. And the Welsh marshes, or borders, gave us even more words: marsh, march, mark, marquee, marshmallow, etc. Fun stuff.

Level 76

Apr 19, 2025

The germanic root for foreign(er)/outsider occurs in many things, Wallonia, Wallachia, Gaul, Cornwall, even walnut!

Level 79

Jan 23, 2025

8/10. I don't know jack about soccer but I knew Gareth Bale because that's my friend's favorite player

Level 63

Jan 23, 2025

So what is the longest village name?

Level 72

Jan 23, 2025

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Level 72

Jan 23, 2025

It's quite painful when you miss the first question and realize the entire theme of the quiz is based around it.

Level 55

Jan 23, 2025

9/10 last question i hadn't a clue and guessed wrong

Level 86

Jan 23, 2025

9/10 I clicked too fast on "unicorn" and should have known better. Decades ago I was a tourist in the UK, took a train to spend an afternoon in Cardiff.

Level 48

Jan 23, 2025

Only got 5/10 but as a Canadian I don't get taught much about Wales! Oh Wales maybe I'll do better next time.

Level 48

Jan 23, 2025

You got 10 of 10 correct

With time bonus, your score is 9,752

You beat or equaled 93% of test takers

You are #1 on your friend leaderboard!

This is your BEST SCORE all-time!

Being British really helped :)
