Flags and Symbols Trivia Questions

1. Switzerland's flag most resembles the color inverse of what country's or organization's flag or symbol?

From Quiz
Switzerland's Best Asset? The Flag is a Big Plus!

Answer: The Red Cross

The flag of Switzerland is very simple; it is a simple white cross (or a "Big Plus" sign you might say) on an all red background. The symbol for the Red Cross is the exact reverse: a simple red cross on an all white background. That Swiss flag cross is called the Swiss cross or the federal cross. The red in the Swiss flag is called Pantone 485C, regulated by law for printed materials.

2. Prayer flags are colorful pieces of cloth associated with Buddhism, particularly as practiced in Tibet and which other mountainous country?

From Quiz Prayer Flags of the Himalayas

Answer: Nepal

One might also find them in Bhutan and elsewhere in the Himalayan region. The images and text are traditionally printed with woodblocks, and the flags are traditionally not cut but torn. It is believed that Indian monks introduced prayer flags to Tibet, Nepal and other nearby nations as they were introducing Buddhism at around 1000 B.C.

3. The most recognised use of a white flag is in periods of war, where a white flag may be flown by either party (but usually the weaker one). What does a white flag in this context actually mean?

From Quiz White Flags: They're Not Black & White

Answer: Surrender

The white flag, which may be as simple as a white piece of clothing on a stick, symbolises "Surrender". It is an internationally recognised protective sign of truce or ceasefire and it is also a request for negotiation. There is a mention of a white flag of surrender in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 A.D. - 200 A.D.) in China and also by the Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus in A.D. 109. It has also been chronicled as an indication of surrender by the Portuguese and noted in India in the 1500s.

4. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that this symbol, two snakes wound around a rod with wings, represented a homeopathic method of healing. What is the name of this symbol that now represents the American medical profession?

From Quiz Ancient Symbols

Answer: Caduceus

The healing power of snakes dates back to ancient times. Over the years doctors have discovered that the proteins found in snake venom can also be used in the treatment of a variety of diseases. Some even believe that the venom, if used carefully and sparingly, can help to slow the growth of cancer cells. In Greek mythology, the god Hermes carried a staff which was referred to as a caduceus. Originally the caduceus was a herald's protective badge of office until it evolved into the symbol of medicine.

5. What mountain kingdom, sandwiched between India and China, has a majestic white dragon emblazoned upon its National flag?

From Quiz Flagging Dragons

Answer: Bhutan

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked nation in South-west Asia. Located close to the Himalayas, the country has southern, eastern, and western borders with India and a northern border with China. In a Global Survey of 2006 by "Business Week", Bhutan was ranked as the happiest nation in Asia and the 8th happiest nation in the world. The national flag is one of the more spectacular in the world. The central image is Druk the thunder dragon of Bhutanese mythology. The white and black dragon sits along a diagonal mid-line which separates the flag into an upper yellow triangle and a lower orange triangle. The original dragon design first appeared in 1947 and is credited to artist Mayum Choying Wangmo Dorji.

6. The title of the Lord Lyon King of Arms is applied to the officer responsible for all heraldic matters that appertain to which country or region of the United Kingdom?

From Quiz Heraldry of Great Britain and the Commonwealth 3

Answer: Scotland

The Lord Lyon King of Arms, as the chief herald of Scotland, is responsible for all heraldic matters within Scotland. The English equivalent, the College of Arms, has no jurisdiction whatsoever. The Lord Lyon also has authority over all matters that relate to the Scottish clan system. Groups of associated families with a chieftain can only count themselves as a clan after they have been recognised as such by the Lord Lyon King of Arms.

7. 'A silver shield, its field decorated with three smaller shield-shaped objects coloured red'... Using the correct language, how should these arms be described?

From Quiz Heraldry of Great Britain and the Commonwealth 2

Answer: Argent, three escutcheons gules

The colour silver, argent in heraldic language, is often represented in white. The escutcheon is the metal boss that is usually positioned at, or near to, the centre of the shield and provides a fixing point for the handle on the reverse side. These bosses were frequently of a similar shape to the shield itself. The description 'Argent, a chief indented sable' describes a silver shield with a thick black band at the top, the chief, and having its lower edge in a zig-zagged pattern. The description 'Azure, a bend or' is simply a blue shield with a golden diagonal band from top left to bottom right. A stripe in the alternate direction - bottom left to top right - would be described as 'a bend sinister'. The final example 'Or, two bars dancetty vert' describes a golden shield bearing two green zig-zag bars across its face.

8. When Heralds first began appearing in around the 12th century, their original and primary duty was what exactly?

From Quiz Heraldry of Great Britain and the Commonwealth 1

Answer: The proclamation and conduct of tournaments

Heralds first appeared in the 12th Century as Officers connected with Tournaments. Over time, this function developed into what we now often understand as the duties of the Herald. The incorrect answers above were the additional duties that had developed by around the 14th Century. To enable the Herald to perform his duty effectively, he had to be able to recognise men from the devices displayed on their shields and flags. In the modern world, Heralds still appear at State Occasions, but their role has now taken on a more genealogical function. Heralds were recently involved in the designing of the new Arms for Kate Middleton's family prior to her recent marriage to Prince William, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

9. The coat of arms of which city contains windmills, beavers, and barrels?

From Quiz Coat of Arms of World Cities - North America

Answer: New York

The windmills relate to the Dutch heritage.

10. Which city has a coat of arms with a monk holding a book in his left hand and raising his right hand in an oath?

From Quiz Coat of Arms of World Cities - Europe

Answer: Munich

This symbol has its origin in 1239, when the symbol first appeared on documents. Munich means "of monks", and the figure is usually depicted with a black hooded garment with red shoes, but occasionally has been without hood or depicted as a child.

11. The coat of arms of this very large country has 5 golden stars and a picture of a building below it on a red background. It is surrounded by a type of grain. Which large country has this coat of arms?

From Quiz Coats of Arms of Asia

Answer: People's Republic of China

The building below the 5 golden stars is the Forbidden Palace. Mentioning it in the question would have made the answer a little too obvious.

12. The first coat of arms on my list is a white cross on a red shield. What country owns this coat of arms?

From Quiz Coats of Arms of the World

Answer: Switzerland

The equal-armed cross of Switzerland was chosen as its symbol to express Switzerland's neutrality in all conflicts.

13. What is the motto of the Order of the Thistle?

From Quiz Mottos

Answer: Nemo me impune lacessit

Meaning: no one attacks me with impunity. 'Tria juncta in uno' (three joined in one) is the motto of the Order of Bath, 'Auspicium melioris aevi' (an omen of a better age) is the motto of the Order of St.Michael and St.George. 'Vox populi vox Dei' means: the voice of the people is the voice of God.

14. What symbol represents good luck in Vietnam?

From Quiz World Symbols

Answer: Square earth

15. Switzerland is made up of 26 cantons (subdivisions of a country much like the states of the U.S.A.). Which of original three cantons' coat of arms served as the basis for what would become the national flag of Switzerland?

From Quiz Switzerland's Best Asset? The Flag is a Big Plus!

Answer: Schwyz

Most every flag of the world's nations are rectangular. A very few, however, are not rectangles. The flag of Switzerland for instance, is square-shaped. Their 1848 constitution officially recognized that a square red flag with a white cross was flown by the army and then on December 12, 1889, the same design and shape was legally established for the national flag. The source of the national flag was derived from the canton of Schwyz which was one of the original three-canton Swiss Confederacy. Other cantons would join later. The coat of arms of Schwyz was a red field with a white cross on. Nimischellen, Osnaburg and Massillon are not cantons of Switzerland; they are towns surrounding Canton, Ohio, home of the NFL's Hall of Fame.

16. The flag of the International Committee of the Red Cross is based on the flag of which country?

From Quiz The Red, White and Blue

Answer: Switzerland

The flag of the International Committee of the Red Cross features a red cross on a white ground; the reverse of the Swiss flag of a white cross on a red ground. This flag was adopted in acknowledgement of Henry Dunant, the Swiss national, who co-founded the Red Cross after seeing the carnage of the Battle of Solferino in 1859.

17. Which common household pet has long been identified as a female symbol?

From Quiz Ancient Symbols

Answer: Cat

One possibility for the connection is that cats are night hunters and the night is associated with the moon. Diana is the Roman goddess of the hunt and moon while Artemis is her Greek counterpart. The Egyptian goddess, Sekmet, later merged into worship of the fertility goddess, Bastet. Bastet is depicted with the head of a cat and the body of a woman. In Japanese folklore malevolent cats have been known to have taken over the bodies of women.

18. Ibias, a municipality in the Principality of Asturias, has a flag depicting a green dragon attacking a tower. In which European country can you find Ibias?

From Quiz Flagging Dragons

Answer: Spain

The community of Ibias is in the northern region of Spain not too far from the Portuguese border. One of the major rivers of the region is also called Ibias. The Ibias flag has five horizontal lines of blue-yellow-blue-white-blue from top to bottom. In the center of the flag there is a royal crown under which is a picture of a green dragon attacking a tower. A heavily armored soldier is battling the dragon with a long spear.

19. 'Gules, three dexter arms cojoined and flexed in triangle or, hands clenched proper'. There is a clue to the answer in there - to which family would you expect these arms (no pun intended!) to belong?

From Quiz Heraldry of Great Britain and the Commonwealth 3

Answer: Tremain

This is an example of arms that have an obvious reference to the name of the family that bear them. They are known in heraldry as allusive or canted arms, but you may also see them referred to as 'armes parlantes'. Arms of this kind were very common in early heraldry but over time many original allusions have become difficult to trace. The reasons for this vary, some because the devices that appear in the blazon have disappeared, others because words themselves have disappeared from language or perhaps the family itself may have become extinct.

20. As well as a number of colours, or tinctures, heraldry also uses representations of two types of animal furs, these being known as ermine and vair. What part of the living animal do the dots on ermine represent?

From Quiz Heraldry of Great Britain and the Commonwealth 2

Answer: The tail

In the ermine group of furs the tail markings come in various forms. In the most common form these dots look very similar to arrowheads. The ermine group are also used in four different colourways: black dots on white are known as ermine, white dots on black are ermines, black dots on gold are called erminois and gold dots on black are called pean. In the vair group, the blue and white pattern represents alternately placed back and belly skins of the squirrel, specifically the grey squirrel. There are a number of variations to this pattern and the pieces may be rounded or angular in form. Any object or figure that is represented in heraldry in its natural or normal colour is described using the word proper, abbreviated ppr.

21. True heraldry has been defined as "The systematic use of hereditary devices centered on the shield". The earliest known decorated shield that satisfies this definition was presented to Geoffrey of Anjou in 1127 when he was knighted by whom?

From Quiz Heraldry of Great Britain and the Commonwealth 1

Answer: King Henry I of England

This shield was described by Geoffrey's biographer, John of Marmoutier, as a shield figured with golden lions. An enamelled plate, that was at one time, fixed on Geoffrey's tomb shows his shield as blue in colour bearing these golden lions. These later became the Arms of William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury, who was Geoffrey's grandson and an illegitimate son of King Henry II.

22. Which city's coat of arms includes a Fleur de Lis, red rose, thistle, shamrock outside a red cross under a beaver and surrounded by maple leaves?

From Quiz Coat of Arms of World Cities - North America

Answer: Montreal

The symbols represent the French, English, Scottish, and Irish contributions to the city.

23. This country's coat of arms is a mythical creature known as a Garuda. Which country has the garuda as their coat of arms?

From Quiz Coats of Arms of Asia

Answer: Thailand

The garuda can be seen on the upper left hand corner of the 20 baht bill. The garuda originated from India, where it was Vishnu's mount. Garuda Indonesia is Indonesia's flag carrier.

24. What country calls its coat of arms the Chrysanthemum Seal?

From Quiz Coats of Arms of the World

Answer: Japan

Likewise,the Japanese throne is known as the Chrysanthemum throne. Their current monarch is Emperor Akihito. He named the period in which he reigns as "Heisei",Japanese for " Emerging Peace " .

25. What is the motto of the Order of the Garter?

From Quiz Mottos

Answer: Honi soit qui mal y pense

Meaning: 'Accursed be he who thinks evil of it. 'Dieu et mon droit' (God and my right) is the motto of the British royal arms. 'Quis separabit?' (Who shall separate us?) is the motto of the Order of St.Patrick. 'Deus vult' (God wills it) is the rallying cry of the First Crusade.

26. Which Greek creature had a series of concentric rings on his forehead?

From Quiz World Symbols

Answer: cyclops

27. Although the official shape of the flag is square as exhibited by United Nations headquarters, which Swiss flags are required to adopt a rectangular Swiss flag?

From Quiz Switzerland's Best Asset? The Flag is a Big Plus!

Answer: Swiss-owned ships in the commercial private sector

Dating back to World War II, ships owned by Swiss companies and industries had rectangular flags. The proportion was designated to be in a 2:3 ratio, as opposed to the square national flag of Switzerland. The dimensions were mandated in the Navigation Act of 1953.

28. Which country's flag is acknowledged as being the longest in continuous use?

From Quiz The Red, White and Blue

Answer: Denmark

The red and white Nordic Cross flag of Denmark was first adopted in 1625 and has not been altered since. The Macedonian Vergina Star flag was adopted on 5 October 1995. Australia's Blue Ensign was unfurled in 1901 and the original Tricoloure of France was presented to the world in 1794 with a modified version being adopted in June 1976.

29. There are two kinds of prayer flags. Vertical flags are called "Darchor", which means "flagstaff"; horizontal flags are called "Lung ta", which means what?

From Quiz Prayer Flags of the Himalayas

Answer: Wind Horse

Tibetans typically string "Lung ta" or "Wind Horse" flags along their top edges, and then hang them on a diagonal, such as between a rock on the ground and the top of a flagpole. "Darchor" flags are usually hung on poles planted in the ground, on rocks, or on rooftops.
