What actually differs
- Norway adds blue, which Denmark does not have.
- Denmark flies at 28:37 and Norway at 8:11, so side by side one looks longer than the other.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: red (#C60C30 against #BA0C2F).
How to keep them straight
Denmark: The simplest Nordic flag: red field, white cross, nothing else.
Norway: Denmark plus a blue cross inside the white one, shifted toward the hoist.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Denmark it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
