How to keep them straight
Bolivia: Lock in the order — red, yellow then green — from the top down. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
Ghana: Lock in the order — red, gold then green — from the top down. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Bolivia it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
