How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 3 horizontal bands
The fly edge changes colour going down, the foot does not, and every change is a straight line right across.
What we know about it
Adopted 1918; restored 1989
Yellow for sun and grain, green for the forests and hope, red for the blood shed for freedom.

Its days
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on 5 of them, with the sentence that says so.
Nearest in the world
Every flag is compared with every other one, off the pictures themselves. Two copies of one picture score 0; these are the closest to this one. How that is measured.

Ten questions, played on the page, no sign-up and nothing kept. Lithuania is one of the flags in each of these.
