FLAGS

Because of the Olympics I just took a quiz called “How Many Of These Flags Of The World Can You Identify?” My results, and I quote:

You got 10 out of 18 right! You are utterly mediocre. Could have been better. Could have been worse. You don’t really deserve praise, but mocking you would be cruel. Way to be adequate!

 

OK, I didn’t know this one. It’s India.
