About the South America flag quiz
South America has only twelve countries, which makes it the perfect quiz to start with. Most flags are distinctive, from Brazil's starry globe to Paraguay's two-sided seal.
The trap is the Gran Colombia trio. Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela all use yellow, blue and red, so watch the stripe widths, the coat of arms and Venezuela's arc of stars. Argentina and Uruguay share the golden Sun of May.
Quick tips
- Colombia's yellow stripe is twice as tall as the blue and red.
- Argentina and Uruguay both show the Sun of May.
- Turn on territories to add the Falkland Islands and French Guiana.
