The Wednesday Quiz: A Regular Betsy

John and Michael currently share the lead for this season of the quiz, with 9 points apiece, Michael having played the old 'Usonian ignorance of Australian Poetry' card for a bonus point. Pichy has 7 and Alethea has 4.5. It's never too late to start and catch up, though, and if the points are important to you, and you promise not to peek, I'll let you do the past two quizzes too.

 

This week, in the absence of a clever idea, we've run to an old Leaflocker fallback in testing your vexillological knowledge. To score points you'll have to describe the modifications that would need to be made to the first national flag to convert it into the second (proportions and exact shades of colours will not be considered), as might be required in case of an invasion or sudden change of allegiance. For example, to convert a French flag to that of the Netherlands, just rotate 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Half-points will be given for good efforts, google and other references are to be avoided. Simple enough? Okay, let's go.

 

1) Ireland to Côte d’Ivoire

2) Australia to New Zealand

3) Italy to Bulgaria

4) Jamaica to Scotland

5) Lebanon to Thailand

6) Japan to Greenland

7) Ukraine to Russia

8) Palestine to Sudan

 

That's it! Best of luck with all your dyeing and sewing this week. Shaun is also running a quiz today, so if movies are more your thing than flags, or if you’ve got some time, maybe check it out?
