Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Red, White and Blue is one of the nicknames for the flag of the United States of America. Which of the following is NOT another nickname for this flag?

Answer: The Union Jack

The Union Jack is the name given to the flag of Great Britain. The thirteen- star version of the 'Red, White and Blue' was unfurled on 14 June 1777. The current version, with 50 stars, came into effect on 4 July 1960.
2. The flag of the International Committee of the Red Cross is based on the flag of which country?

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

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.
4. Which country of the United Kingdom is NOT represented on its flag?

Answer: Wales

The Union Jack is made up of the flags of three saints: Saint George (Patron Saint of England), Saint Andrew (Patron Saint of Scotland), and St Patrick (Patron Saint of Ireland). The flag of St David (Patron Saint of Wales) is a yellow cross on a black field and is not incorporated into the Union Jack.

This is because when the original Union Flag was designed in 1606, Wales was regarded as part of the Kingdom of England, thus not eligible for separate representation.
5. Which country's flag is very similar to 'The Red, White and Blue', having alternating red and white horizontal stripes, but only has a single star in its blue upper-left corner?

Answer: Liberia

The flag of Liberia consists of a blue canton (upper left corner) with a single white star. It also has red and white stripes but only eleven. The flag of Bangladesh features a large red circle on a green ground. Barbados's flag features a black trident and Canada's flag features that famous red maple leaf.
6. A "fess pattern" in flag terminology is a band of colour running horizontally across the flag. Which one of these flags has a fess pattern?

Answer: Austria

Austria's flag features a horizontal white band across a red background making it the only fess pattern flag in this group. Finland's pattern is a Nordic Cross; New Zealand's a canton (with the Union Jack in upper left corner); and Greece's flag is also a canton design.
7. Which country's flag is officially named 'Nishokki' or 'Sun-rise Flag'?

Answer: Japan

One of Japan's most famous nicknames is 'The Land of the Rising Sun' which is embodied in the design of its national flag - a red circle on a white ground. The flags of Namibia, Kyrgyzstan and Kiribati all feature a sun in their design but none of them are synonymous with 'The Land of the Rising Sun'.
8. Which country's flag has a representation of a famous temple complex located in Siem Reap?

Answer: Cambodia

The Cambodian flag features the temple complex of Angkor Wat which was founded in the 12th century. For a truly intimate experience join 2000 of your closest friends to watch the sun rise over this awe inspiring complex. The flags of Israel, Bhutan and Papua New Guinea also contain memorable features; Israel - Star of David; Bhutan - Dragon; Papua New Guinea - Bird of Paradise,
9. Which colour is the most often used in the world's flags?

Answer: Red

Red comes in at number one with just over 30%. Blue is second at around 21%. White is number three at a little over 19%.
10. And finally what would be the name given to the person who designed 'The Red, White and Blue'?

Answer: Vexillographer

The Latin word for flag is vexillum and the study and design of flags is known as vexillography. All the others are synonyms for flag with 'ographer' added.
