  2. My score was awful, and I thought I was good at flags! That's all I'm going to say. (hanging my head in shame)

    1. Please don't end your life Kelly! You have lots to live for, including the end of D.J.Trump.

  3. 8/10. I missed #1 because my old atlas doesn't have that flag listed only the Union Jack, and missed #7 because my old atlas doesn't have the Czech republic listed. I did cheat by looking up Jordan and Morocco.

  4. I reckon my peak knowledgeability about flags was when I was about 10 or 11.

    1. So you mean your score on this quiz was embarrassingly low?

    2. Twist the knife, YP. I wasn't even sure about Belgium/Germany, that spooked me for France/Netherlands and then I even started doubting England.

    1. Good luck at the quiz.
      P.S. Why not take your smartphone and then visit The Ladies during the quiz to find difficult answers?

    1. Well done! I bet The Czech Republic didn't miss you my friend!

  9. I've never been good at flags. I only felt confident about three, and didn't find it meaningful to randomly guess about the rest...

    1. Maybe I will make a quiz on IKEA and ABBA - just for you!

    2. Please don't... I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get full points even on those! ;) I just don't tend to fill my memory with typical quiz kind of facts...

  10. Is there a football festival going on somewhere? Thanks for letting me know, I hadn't realised.

  12. 60%, not my best topic. When I was in school we called that game kickball.

    1. Football (not soccer and not American football) is the world's most loved sport. Nobody outside of the USA ever called it "kickball"!
