    Ten pairs of flags that get mixed up

    Lookalike Flags puts side by side the flags that look the most alike: same colors, same stripes, sometimes the same design. Italy and Mexico, Australia and New Zealand, Romania and Chad, which differ only by a shade of blue. In every quiz you see the two together and have to say which is which.

    Two pictures, one answer

    All twenty quizzes are Two Pictures quizzes: two flags side by side and a single question. After each answer, the explanation points out the detail that sets them apart, so you learn the difference even when you get it wrong. The flags are shown in their real proportions, because sometimes the shape is what gives them away.
