Serbia: Lock in the order — red, blue then white — from the top down. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
Slovakia: Lock in the order — white, blue 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 Serbia it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
