Prototype Cards: Number 170
Vexillogy
Selection of Flags from around the world. Turning the card on its side so that the flags are the right way round the flags are in the following order: (left to right, top to bottom)
Wales, Oman, Estonia, Israel, Djibouti,
Hong Kong, Ukraine, Spain, Sweeden, Greece,
Iceland, Nigeria, France, Sark, Rwanda,
Cape verde, Turkey, Liberia, Olympics, Ecuador,
Honduras, Romania, Antarctica, Lebanon, Ethiopia,
Canada, Italy, Greenland, Ireland, Norway,
The first letter from the name of each of these countries can be use to produce a grid:
D G R E E N
I S S O L I
E S F L A G
O U N T R I
W H I C H C
Reading this backwards produces the question "Which countries flag is solid green?"
The answer is Libya.
The text on the bottom of the card reads:
"The scribe that wrote this puzzle needs to see Anna Heath for grammar lessons immediately. S."
It appears to refer to the textual mistake of using "countries" rather than "country's".
