Colours
Read from the flag itself, down to the exact shade.
- #ffffff
- #cc0000
- #000066
- #ffcc00
How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 14 horizontal bands
The fly edge changes colour going down, the foot does not, and every change is a straight line right across.
- a canton
A rectangle in the top corner by the pole that is not what the rest of the flag is, and that stops cleanly on both its sides.
What is on it
Each of these is what this flag's own Wikipedia article says is on it, the sentence is underneath, so you can see what it rests on.
- star
The national flag of Malaysia, also known as the Stripes of Glory (Jalur Gemilang, also "Stripes of Excellence"), is composed of a field of 14 alternating red and white stripes along the fly, and a blue canton bearing a crescent and a 14-point star known as the Bintang Persekutuan (Federal Star).

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. Malaysia is one of the flags in each of these.
