Can I Name EVERY Flag That Contains TEXT?
View Video Transcript
0:00
Today I'm going to try and name all 20 flags of the world that have got text on them
0:03
So an example would be the Brazilian flag. You see that in the middle? That's text right there
0:08
I've no idea what it says because it's in Portuguese, but it is text nonetheless. So if I name a country flag that doesn't have anything written on it, it will end the quiz
0:15
So we need to be careful. Let's just give it a go. We'll go with our example to begin with
0:19
Brazil. Yes, there it is. Number four. And each time I get it correct, we'll put the flag on screen
0:24
By which I mean, editor Kai will put the flag on screen. Sorry for your downloads, folder Kai
0:28
Saudi Arabia. It's written in Arabic, but it is still text. Following that, Iraq, I'm pretty sure, has something on it
0:35
Yes, there we go. Oh, God, I'm gonna struggle here. Right, I'm gonna just work my way around
0:40
So, USA, no. Canada, no. Mexico. Oh, God, it ends the quiz. I don't wanna risk it
0:45
I'm gonna go with El Salvador. El Salvador and, I think, Guatemala. Oh, my God
0:53
Yes, we're good, we're good. Okay, this is really difficult. Working my way around from there
0:57
Mozambique's just popped into my head. Mozambique. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, what am I doing? I think I
1:05
thought that there was like words written in the book, but yeah, there's not actually any writing
1:09
there, is there? Okay. Well, this is going to be tricky. I'm not giving up though. We're going to
1:12
keep going. All right. El Salvador. We're off. Followed by Brazil, followed by Guatemala
1:20
And then what else did I have after that? Oh yeah. Saudi Arabia and Iraq. There we go. Right. So
1:26
What's the best way to do this? I really need to go inside my mind palace with this one
1:30
Colombia, no. Ecuador, I don't think so. I don't know if I can do this
1:34
I'm going to go to a totally different area of the world. India, no. Kazakhstan, no
1:40
Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan? Is that a language? Game over. Right, excellent. Yeah, looking at it, it was dumb
1:46
But in my head, I was worried that these were like inscriptions of some degree
1:50
So rather than in my head going around the world, I wonder if I should just go through the alphabet
1:55
Andora, no. maybe, yeah, I think actually Andorra's on there, yes, it is, oh, it's in Alfa Belga order as well
2:01
so that will help, so Afghanistan, suddenly this becomes easier, Albania, no, Algeria, no
2:09
Azerbaijan, I don't think so, let's move on, let's go to B, Belize, what's the Belize flag
2:15
I'm gonna try it, Belize, yes, Belgium, Bulgaria, Belarus, what's the flag of Belarus
2:21
us. I can't remember. We'll just have to move on. Let's go to C. Let's do Canada, Cambodia. No. Move
2:28
on to D, Denmark. I know I'm probably missing some. Oh, I skipped Brazil. Nice one, Jack. Let's do the
2:33
ones that I know again. El Salvador, Iran, and Iraq. Guatemala. Thank you. Right. Let's work our way
2:39
from a different letter. Let's do F. So we'll do France, and then Finland, and then... This is
2:48
really difficult. I've got A. So I'm almost halfway there. I think we could do this by the end of the
2:52
video. G, we've got Ghana, Georgia, Germany. H, we've got Haiti. Is there anything in the Haiti
2:59
I think possibly. Yes, there is. And then I, Indonesia, Ireland, no. Ivory Coast, no. Iceland
3:07
no as well I J Jordan got nothing on it Japan doesn have anything on it South Korea though That that a symbol Oh is it not I thought in my head this was Korean But no they more symbols aren they Right we nearly got half there This is really difficult
3:22
I'm going again. Afghanistan. Andorra. Brazil. Belize. Haiti. Jamaica? No. Cuba? No
3:31
Honduras? No, no, no. El Salvador, though, yes. Is Mexico on there
3:35
I reckon Mexico's got something. Oh, it's not. I thought there was... For some reason in my head, there was like a wavy bit of paper
3:41
come around here and there was text written on the paper i might be thinking of guatemala
3:45
afghanistan andorra brazil belize haiti el salvador guatemala argentina uruguay no iran and iraq
3:57
let's go to central asia uh kyrgyzstan turkmenistan azerbaijan georgia this is so difficult bosnia
4:05
has govina no serbia serbia got anything on it i feel like it might it doesn't okay that's cool
4:12
afghanistan andorra 12 seconds later right let's start at like v venezuela no uh t2 valoo tonga
4:23
togo uganda uruguay w um x y y yemen z uae this is just a nightmare eritrea djibouti lebanon
4:34
israel none of these countries have anything written on them lebanon i can't picture the
4:38
lebanon flag lebanon lebanon oh san marino san marino thank you very much number 18 i actually
4:45
currently have less than i've previously gotten so that's always really encouraging i'm guessing
4:50
vatican's got something on it as well oh it doesn't okay so c cambodia canada columbia i'm
4:57
I'm going to try it. Columbia. No. So if we skip C and go to E
5:02
Ethiopia. Nothing. Eritrea. I'm going to try it. No. Ethiopia. Eswatini. Eswatini
5:10
So go straight to F. Finland. France. Nothing on there. Go straight from F to G
5:16
Ghana. Georgia. I know I'm missing stuff. H. We've obviously got Haiti
5:20
But then there's... Look at that gap. So what am I skipping? I have no idea
5:24
What have I skipped? B. C. D. I've skipped El Salvador, so that's something
5:29
And I've skipped Guatemala, so I've skipped the ones that I literally have. But there's still four others in that gap
5:34
If I can get them, then I can really make some progress. So it's either B, C, or D
5:39
Dominica? Dominican Republic? I'll try it. It's on there. Okay, I can't quite picture what the text is there
5:45
We officially have half for the first time. So there's another B or another C or potentially another D in between them
5:50
And then there's another D or an E after. I can't think. I'm gonna go after I
5:55
There's nothing for I. I don't think there's anything for J. Here, we obviously have Kenya, but then what else
6:00
Oh, we had San Marino, which I'm going to just shove in. Luxembourg definitely doesn't have anything
6:04
Does Lithuania? No, definitely not. Latvia also doesn't. What's the Lichtenstein flag? I cannot remember
6:09
So I'm going to write it and hope for the best. Lichtenstein. Game over
6:14
That's a new high score, though. We have 11. Oh, I keep forgetting to put Saudi Arabia again, so I should remember that
6:19
So that, once I had San Marino, will bring us to a high score of 12 out of 20
6:24
We are getting there slowly but surely and I not cheating I ain looked at that map I ain looked on Google I am clicking the pause button I not gonna lie Let just think of some obscure countries timor no i don think there anything on there thailand taiwan doesn have
6:38
any text trinidad and tobago i need to be thinking of these caribbean island countries trinidad and
6:44
tobago doesn't have anything granada doesn't have any text st kits and nevis doesn't have any text
6:49
i don't know what i'm counting to by the way they're talking principale ivory coast burkina
6:54
Faso. Where's all the text on these flags? Is there text on Kosovo? I don't think there is. It's
6:59
just stars, right? Cyprus doesn't have anything. Turkey doesn't have any text. Malta might be one
7:05
Oh, yes, it is as well. That's 13 to 20. Have I literally not said Spain? Come on, man, Spain
7:11
Right, that's 14 to 20. Portugal has got a similar kind of emblem to Spain. I'm going to go for it
7:16
Portugal. There's got to be some text. Oh, no, there isn't. Right, remember this list, Jack
7:20
before it goes forever. Afghanistan, Andorra, Belize, Brazil, El Salvador. I don't like that
7:29
gap at all. Guatemala, Spain, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, San Marino. That's 12. What are the two
7:37
that I've forgotten already? Oh, it's Dominican Republic. And then the other one was... It was
7:43
Malta. I've remembered it. I've remembered it. Okay. So for M, we've got Morocco, Mauritania
7:49
Mali, Madagascar. None of these have text on it. It's very rare for flags to have text on it turns
7:55
out. For all we've got Oman and that's the only country and there's nothing on the... Maybe there..
7:59
No, I don't think there is. I think it's kind of like Turkmenistan. I don't think it's text. It's more symbols. Sri Lanka. Does Sri Lanka have any text on it? I don't think so. Okay, letter P
8:08
Portugal isn't on there. Poland's not on there. Pakistan is not on there either. And then I can't
8:13
think of anything else right now. Q has no countries. R, we've got Romania. Rwanda, I don't
8:19
think has any text. Does Zambia or Zimbabwe have any text? I don't think either of them do. So
8:24
there's something that begins with B, C, or D. Could it be Bahrain? I don't know if I've tried
8:28
Bahrain. Right, it's definitely not Bahrain, because I've just remembered what that flag looks like. I'm gonna try Brunei. Brunei. Go on. It's on there. It's on there. I can't visualize what
8:37
the text is, but it's on screen right now. Okay, so now we need something that begins with D or E
8:42
Denmark. No. Do you think I should try Ecuador? There could be, like, just a small amount of text
8:47
around the under the window thing ecuador go on damn it damn damn damn i'm never gonna remember
8:53
all 15 of these i'm being a bit stupid here aren't i i need to think of letters of the alphabet that
8:58
come before s because that is number 20 so all of the other answers are above that so that's a lot
9:03
of energy wasted i know people will be screaming at me for that one oh i'm also missing malt around
9:07
and there you go is there anything on equatorial guinea's flag let's just give it a try equatorial
9:13
guinea go on it's bloody on there is it just like a little bit of writing under the tree the bloody
9:18
is look at that so that's 15 although i think i'm also missing one that i've had before oh i am and
9:23
it's dominica it's just come to me dominican republic sorry there you go so that's 16 out of
9:27
20. there are four left here something that begins with d or e and something that begins with m n o p
9:34
q r or s m morocco mauritania malawi mali n nepal norway nigeria nigem r romania rwanda i just i just know russia i know I missing them here Serbia Slovakia Saudi Arabia Syria is just two green stars No no no Is there something written on the Fiji flag
9:59
This is a risk. I think there might be. There isn't. Die, die, die, die, die
10:03
One hour later. Alright, I had a break for a few hours because I wasn't getting anywhere
10:07
You might not recognize me because I've shaved that epic beard and mustache that I had
10:12
But I'm ready to continue this godforsaken game because I think I have thought of two more and they are
10:19
Paraguay. Oh, yes number 17 and also I've forgotten again. It's another Central America Nicaragua. I'm pretty sure Nicaragua is in there Nicaragua
10:31
Yes, perfect see they're right next to each other. How many more do I need? Afghanistan and Dora. This is just painful by the way, belize Brazil
10:40
This is so much more difficult than I thought it would be Dominican Republic Oh, we skipped one if we got that one before Iran Iraq
10:47
He's in there as well Spain don't forget It's interesting that a lot of these countries are in Central America or South America text on flags is just apparently more normalized there
10:57
Because we also have Guatemala already, don't we and then moving on to Europe
11:01
There's Malta with the little cross, right? So that's 13. So which ones are we still missing that? I've already got previously these it were
11:09
Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia and San Marino were the other two S's. Okay, so that's 15 of 20
11:17
Afghanistan, Andorra, Belize, Brazil, CDB, Brunei, it's Brunei. Okay, is that all of the ones I've
11:26
come up with? I bet I'm missing something. Have I written El Salvador? I haven't. Okay, El Salvador
11:30
This is, I think, the farest that we've ever been. 17 of 20. Something that begins with D or E
11:35
ezwatini eritrea ethiopia no no no democratic republic of congo no there's no text there what
11:42
about number nine so e f or g granada there's no text on the granada flag
11:50
ecuador ecuator ecuatorial guinea we had that one already equatorial guinea okay this is officially
11:56
the closest we've ever been i bet i've probably got these last two before and i've just forgot
12:00
them that'll be so annoying what's the flag of malawi i can't picture it see i can't type it in
12:05
because it'll all disappear. I don't think it's got text on. Marshall Islands? Is there any text on the Marshall Islands flag
12:11
No, there isn't. It's just that star and the orange and the white. 10 seconds later
12:15
Do you know what? I can't get it. I might actually have to give up and I am so sad about that
12:20
I just cannot think what begins with D or E and what begins with M or N
12:24
Why have I not got it yet? I'm proud of the 18 text countries that I have managed to get
12:29
but I think it is time to end the quiz because I'm now spending like a really long time on this
12:34
Let's end and submit our score. What is it? Oh, he's not telling us. It's Egypt. That's text right there
12:41
How did I not think of Egypt the whole time? Egypt's a pretty famous country, Jack. It's not even a obscure one
12:47
Mongolia. That was the other missing one, apparently. That's very symbol-like text, isn't it
12:52
But apparently, it's the Soyumbo Alphabet. Oh, my God. All right, that was a challenge. Thank you very much for watching
12:59
18 out of 20. Not too bad, is it? But it definitely took me a lot of attempts
13:03
thanks for watching did you beat my score congratulations all right i'll see you later
