        Making new flags aren't easy you also have to consider the influence of different empires throughout history, for example the Australian flag has the English cross on the upper left because it used to be conquered by the British

            There is actually a flag-coloring question that Prof. Loh made for the Module 3 Combinatorics course! It's in the Day 12 lesson. ๐Ÿ™‚

                    @divinedolphin Yes, you are right. It was a map, not a flag. Sorry about that!
