Egypt vs Syria
These two are close enough that people routinely draw one when they mean the other. Take the challenge first — the flags are further down the page.
The challenge
Practice
Draw the flag from memory.
What actually differs
- Syria adds green, which Egypt does not have.
How to keep them straight
Egypt: Red-white-black — the Arab Liberation colours — plus a gold eagle.
Syria: Lock in the order — green, white, black then red — 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 Egypt it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
