      I’m kind of interested in geography, so I kind of want to share you this. I’m not sure if this counted as maths, but perhaps geometry.

      Some flags are quite similar (or even same):

      • Chad 🇹🇩 and Romania 🇷🇴 and Andorra 🇦🇩 and Moldova 🇲🇩

      • Cuba 🇨🇺 and Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

      • Nicaragua 🇳🇮 and Honduras 🇭🇳 and Argentina 🇦🇷 and El Salvador 🇸🇻

      • The Netherlands 🇳🇱 and Paraguay 🇵🇾 and Luxembourg 🇱🇺 and Croatia 🇭🇷 and Serbia 🇷🇸

      • Poland 🇵🇱 and Indonesia 🇮🇩 and Singapore 🇸🇬 and Monaco 🇲🇨 and Greenland 🇬🇱

      • Ivory Coast/Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 and Ireland 🇮🇪 and Italy 🇮🇹 and Mexico 🇲🇽

      • Haiti 🇭🇹 and Liechtenstein 🇱🇮 and Ukraine 🇺🇦

      • Palestine 🇵🇸 and Jordan 🇯🇴 and UAE 🇦🇪 and Kuwait 🇰🇼

      • Iraq 🇮🇶 and Syria 🇸🇾 and Yemen 🇾🇪 and Egypt 🇪🇬 and Sudan 🇸🇩

      • Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 and Vietnam 🇻🇳 and Morocco 🇲🇦 and Isle of Man 🇮🇲

      • Austria 🇦🇹 and Latvia 🇱🇻 and Lebanon 🇱🇧

      • Fiji 🇫🇯 and Bermuda 🇧🇲 and Tuvalu 🇹🇻

      • Tanzania 🇹🇿 and Saint Kitts and Nevis 🇰🇳

      • Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand 🇳🇿

      • USA 🇺🇸 and Liberia 🇱🇷 and Malaysia 🇲🇾

      Not sure if I had bored you out with a list of countries, but I find this quite interesting.

        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. 🙂

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