Flags of Africa
Ten flags from Africa. Name the country, or pick its flag from four.
Fifty-four countries, from the shores of the Mediterranean down to the continent's southern tip and out to Madagascar, Mauritius and the Seychelles. Plenty of flags here share red, yellow and green, so the hard level is a real test.
This region has 54 countries in the quiz. At medium level the questions come from 41 of them and the wrong answers from the same continent, so neighbours and look-alikes turn up together. The easy level keeps to the 22 best-known.
The largest country here is Algeria and the smallest Seychelles; Nigeria has the most people.
