    My prediction for the podium is

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

    I might be in the running for the wooden spoon.

    - Unfortunately, there were 30 incorrect answers submitted

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

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

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


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 7,472 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,790 ✭✭✭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!

    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. :o

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

    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 :D 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:
