Could you guys give me some ideas for Nigeria Flag Redesign?

(This is not related to the quiz)

Look at the fragile states index + stuff like birth rate/population & general living conditions - I wouldn't put too much priority on the flag design. Maybe look up the most popular rebel groups & borrow from whatever they're using.

Thanks for the help!

I'm currently redesigning some flags for a quiz I'm working on.

Maybe a bird like Uganda, or some crest/symbol like Niger/Ghana. Could do some Bosnia-style Muslim/Christian thing. The common African tri-color, or sideways-Y of S Africa/Eritrea, or Togo/Benin/Madagascar/Guinea Bissau style. Maybe a sun like Malawi/Rwanda. Maybe something from the history, like UK influence. Or theoretical/alternate-history mergers with other countries. Maybe exports (just petroleum), geographic features, or major public works (they might have a train, and petroleum pipeline, but I don't know the history, condition, or relative significance of those). You could also look at the second-order division flags https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_states_of_Nigeria or flags of schools, cities, sports, etc.

Good luck with the quiz

Almost stumbled over the rock band trio question, because ZZ Top has three members, but only two with the famously long beards. After a moment of thinking, I picked them anyway.

Also was sure that snakes kill most humans, but was really shocked, when I read it's over 100.000 per year. I would have estimated a 3-4 digit figure!

I think snakes tend to like habitats that people like. And there's a lot of population + poverty + exposure to the natural environment in places like Asia/Africa/S+Central America.

Looks like highest rates are something like: India, CAR, Somalia, Chad Guinea (@15 more African countries spread out along the latitude of Mali/Kenya), Guyana, Bhutan ???, Pakistan, PNG...

>30-50k worldwide for dogs too.

India alone accounts for over half of those snake bite fatalities, the population density coupled with urban encroachment on habitats, high levels of poverty, and lack of access to reliable health infrastructure makes snakes a real issue

guessed 4/8 answers. according to the WHO around 81 to 137 thousand people die by snake every year while it is estimated that 50 to 500 thousand people die by tsetse fly annually so you cant say for sure that its the snake

The question is which of THESE animals is responsible for the most human deaths each year. The wording is a bit ambiguous, but I believe it's just asking for a comparison between the four listed animals, not all animals. If it were all animals, the clear winner would be mosquitos with an estimated 700,000-1,000,000 deaths annually.

On the other hand, if you're looking at animals that directly kill humans rather than being the vector for a disease that kills them (and don't count humans themselves as candidates), then snakes do indeed come in first by a comfortable margin.

That's the worst I've ever done, but I swear the stats on this site are jacked up. How did only about 15% of people get all of the answers on the animal emoji song quiz?
