Advantages: A bit of fun, Educational

Disadvantages: None

I have decided in this review, to do a little quiz for all of the Dooyoo users. I am going to base it on geography, as it is one of my favourite subjects. I like nothing more than when you are with family or friends, a sudden outbreak of: ‘What’s the capital of…..’ begins to take place. I love a challenge and a quiz is something that I immensely enjoy whether it is for a prize or just a bit of fun.


I will include some easy questions so that everybody has the chance of getting a few answers correct. There will be some harder questions (extension) that will really test your brain. If you want to find out how much you know about the world, then don’t use any books or maps to help you. It will spoil the challenge that you are imposing on yourself and will be a waste of time. If you get a lot of questions incorrect, then do study the map to find out more about them.


This quiz was composed completely from scratch by myself, the only help that I have used was just to check that the answers were correct. I hope that you can try and answer the questions and have some fun doing it. At the end of the day, you will almost certainly learn something new, that you didn’t previously know about. So just enjoy it!

~Question Nine~

~Question Ten~

A cryptic one to finish: What is London’s Northern Irish connection?



That’s the end of the quiz, I hope you had a go at it. The answers are on the bottom of the page if you want to check your score. Please give me some feedback on how you did and whether you enjoyed it or not. If you think that is was too hard or the questions didn’t cover geography broadly enough, then please say. If you can honestly say that you didn’t learn something new from this quiz then I would be very surprised.
