  11. 9 out of 10. (my atlas helped with its pages of flags) I didn't know Norway planted that first flag.

  12. 5/10. In general I'm no good with flags (nor maps, nor cars). But I knew Canada, the Red Cross, St George, the stars on the US flag + had a "hunch" that Norway was first at the South Pole (although I didn't recall details). I also recognised the word "flagon" as some kind of container for liquid when I read it - but it didn't spring to mind for me from the picture (or even the clue). (And had I'd been asked to draw a picture of a flagon, I'd probably have failed!)

  13. 8 for me, I didn't know nos 3 or 8.

  14. Eight for me. I missed numbers 2 and 3. Being a lover of history is why I knew 7 and I guessed correctly on 8 based upon your history.
