Perhaps you're getting it mixed up with the US flag.

You're about 200 years too late. That's the flag of the Bourbon Restoration (1815–1830)

The white flag with three fleurs de lis is the old Bourbon royal flag.

The Andorran flag isn't a simple tricolour, which all of the above are. Otherwise you would need Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia to be included as well.

I got 100% but it's still just irritating that flags normally oriented vertically are oriented by their colors horizontally on this quiz.

In my opinion, it would be more irritating if the vertical flags took up 3 rows.

Yea especially since the time is rather tight, i think people just spam countries rather than actually looking at the colours one by one.

i did them in order and had 30 seconds left. I say it is tight, because I didnt need time to think, but if you do..
