Know Strength Worldwide

8 countries down, 188 to go (there are 196 countries in the world)
Know Strength has been viewed all around the world - some near, others far. I wonder which country will be next. . . 

 While we wait, I want to give you a blue-ticket opportunity - figure out which eight countries (flags) are pictured to the left. When you have done that, comment on this post with your answer - use format "p3-Otzi" to write your post. Try to do this without looking at our KnowStrengthSpread map. Happy hunting, and good luck. #brainpower

    I LOVE identifying flags! I say (clockwise from top left):

    United States (it would be bad if I didn't know this one.)

    Chezc Republic? (I will have to look that one up.)

    Azjerjaban? (Same here.)

    Belgium (I love seeing this flag; so many people confuse it with germany!)

    Canada (Not as obvious as the U.S., but still bad if someone misses this!)

    Ireland (I love flags with the three-stripe pattern; simple, stylish, and uniquely European!)

    Slovenia? (There are some toughies here!)

    United Kingdom (Did you know that the British Empire was the biggest empire ever? They owned a whole continent and around half of another, as well as having even more territories!)

    I will look up the ones I am unsure of and get back to this soon!

    And by the way, aren't there over 200 countries that participate in the Olympics? That is more than just 196.

      Max - I just did some checking on # of countries and consistently get the number 196. I'll have to look into the Olympics as to why there may be more than 200 participating nations. . .

    There were a few independent athletes in the Olympics- that must explain why 200 countries are in it. Also, I'm getting Houston to help the spread. Jonathan p4
