THE REVEAL - Flags Of The World - PEEHS

aaronjennings

Welcome everyone to the reveal of my Flags of the World - Peehs Game!

Which one of our 29 budding vexillologists will come out on top of the flag pole?

Come and join us at 7.30pm (depending on the whether or not the FA Cup game goes to extra time) to find out

beakerjoe

My flag is at half mast.... i mean my fly is open

Reberetta

My prediction for the podium is

1. Homer J. Fong
2. Omackeral
3. KathleenGrant

I might be in the running for the wooden spoon.

ShaneU

I was dreadful at this

And here are some statistics for your delight:

- Out of the 72 flags in this game, all except one were correctly identified

- 5 of the 71 correct answers were Aces

- Unfortunately, there were 30 incorrect answers submitted

- 5 of those incorrect answers would have been correct had they been chosen elsewhere

ari101

Definitely feeling I have one or two of those incorrect answers... :pac:

Sawduck

I was thinking I did alright at this but now I'm not so sure, think I may have got some mixed up

quickbeam

I swotted up on flags a few years ago and I think I'd have known them all if asked then. Now, I'm much less sure of them. Though even if I knew them all, I have an uncanny ability to pick sheep when I want peehs and peehs when I want sheep, so definitely not expecting much here.

Irish Aris

I think I might be OK on correct answers, though I doubt many of them will peehs.

Kiss of death, cheers Reb.

Aaron I'll check in later to get my spoon.

KathleenGrant

i thought I was going to be amazing at this. Biggest flag nerd that I know. But for 2 rounds I had a complete blank.

In any case I am the happiest girl woman auld wan that hasn't had a covid jab yet, to get to think and talk about flags for the next couple of hours.

So happy!!

Zaph. Purgative and Sawduck are 3 that come to mind for me also.
Think if there is any justice though the trophy, cup, crown, medal, laurel wreath should be Omack's.


Go Omack!

Reveal shall take place shortly, stand by for the first set of answers

Oh thanks Kat, now I'm going to look like Mr Thickee.



Doing this Peehs reminded me a bit like French at school - I knew the words, just no idea what they translated to.

That's nice but I think you might have shuddered a little at my answers

A tricky start, with most people choosing to play it safe by sticking with the one European flag in this round. Some people took risks by veering in to other continents, unfortunately a tactic which did not work out for everyone

Barna gets off to the perfect start by scoring an Ace on the first question, but there’s still a long way to go, and plenty of people biting at their heels

I just googled Austria... Hahaha I was pretty sure it wasn't Austria, but couldn't figure out why I was thinking of that... maybe there are some flags buried in my subconscious after all...
I do have another couple of incorrects to come probably :pac:

I’m just gonna pop to home store and more to get a big bowl for the wooden spoon.

Brb.... :pac:.....

aaronjennings

22 people will be screaming at their screens right now, as almost everyone avoided the blindingly obvious France, making it a good answer for those who chose it

Elsewhere, Pickarooney picks up an excellent Ace

I think I know which one you're referring to. It's the only one that had me stumped. But, I only swotted up on the 193 UN states, those that count in a game of Pointless.

ROUND 3 ANSWERS





Somalia / Portugal / Netherlands / Nicaragua / Jamaica / Bangladesh

aaronjennings

Surely the obvious European answer won’t score low for two rounds in a row, will it?

Yes, yes it will, as Portugal ends up being the best answer in this round. Very unlucky for the people who came up with good answers - just not good Peehs answers!

Well I'm thinking of what was actually now likely to be Denmark, but I haven't a breeze, and I can't remember if I went with it, so I'll just have to wait and see!

aaronjennings

Pickarooney usurps Barna at the top of the table by one point. Can they maintain their lead for the rest of the game, or have the peaked too early?

ROUND 4 ANSWERS





Bulgaria / Burundi / Israel / Antigua & Barbuda / Germany / Ethiopia

ari101

Whoops I think...

ShaneU

Wrong I think..... feeling Hungary right now

aaronjennings

I’m definitely sensing a theme developing here, as the majority of people opt for the other European country, while the much more obvious Germany scores the same as Antigua and Barbuda

Isn’t Peehs fun…?

ROUND 5 ANSWERS





Lesotho / Sri Lanka / Kazakhstan / Niger / Vanuatu / Croatia

ShaneU

Don't even know where Vanuatu is let alone recognise its flag

aaronjennings

Another hard round (blame the randomiser, not me), as it seems most people decided it was better to stick with the safe European answer than risk getting it wrong. Last-minute signer-upper Leg End Reject lands a great answer with Vanuatu

In the middle of the Pacific.

The top two continue their tit-for-tat battle at the summit, with Pickarooney once again claiming sole ownership of first place. But can they stave off the contenders behind them?
