Others have said it, but as a staunchly "anti-sprint JetPunk activist," I'll say it too - there's too much time. I entered all I knew (13/15) and had nearly 9 minutes left over!

BTW, no love for Liberia??

I'll join in, I needed 60 seconds as an advanced quizzer. 4 minutes should be fine for everybody.

Also got stuck at the one that looks awfully close to Gambia. I never realized the similarity before.

Hi! Thank you very much for all the comments! The original one had 81 flags, you can visit it here: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/178521/flags-of-the-world-by-horizontal-stripes

This version should have less time, I agree. I will change it.

Fun quiz! 15/15. I got stumped on South Africa for a while thinking it was The Gambia. Flags that look similar are:

USA & Malaysia - Liberia

Iceland - Cape Verde

Denmark - Latvia

South Africa - The Gambia

Also the quiz may be more fun need a yellow box.

there's something fishy with the south african answer, being exactly the flag of another nation (Gambia). Not convinced about this one. Anyway great idea.

happens the same with Czechia and Poland or Singapore and Indonesia. In fact, Czech republic flag added the blue trangle to make it different to Poland's flag.

Be sure to test them here

Could've sworn South Africa's looked like The Gambia's, but after I looked it up, found out that the colors are switched, though without that chevron like thing, South African flag looks stunningly similar to Gambia's.

I disagree about South Africa. On the right side of the flag, the green starts horizontal, but it isn't a horizontal bar like all the others. The quiz description says the flags have lost "everything but the horizontal bars" and on the South African flag, the green is a horizontal Y, not a horizontal bar.

The US flag has 13 stripes (as does the one in the quiz). Liberia's flag has only 11 stripes, so you can distinguish it, although I think it should be an acceptable type-in.

Malaysia's flag has 14 stripes, and the bottom one is white, so it's easier to separate that from the other two.
