Can someone explain why Bhutan didn't qualify for this combo:
"Is a monarchy" & "Flag only has 3 colors"?

The answer section includes an explanation of your wrong answers. I’m guessing they are counting 4 colors on the flag - Orange, yellow, white and black.

ETA yeah, that’s almost certainly why. Outlines don't count for colors, but the dragon’s eyes are clearly black.

OK, hadn't found that feature yet. Looks like the dragon's black outline is considered a 4th color. Thanks.

Ooh, looks like they changed the rule about outlines, but the solid black eye would count regardless.

Accepted Colors: Only the following colors are recognized: black, white, grey, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, light blue, purple, brown. Any other shades will be categorized under the closest matching color on this list.

Shades Don't Count Separately: Different shades of the same color (e.g., dark red or pale yellow) do not count as separate colors. They will all be classified under the primary color (e.g., "red" or "yellow").

Exception for Blue: If a flag contains only one blue, it will be classified as "blue." If there are two blues, and one is significantly lighter, the colors will be classified as "blue" and "light blue."

Counting Colors: The total number of colors on the flag will only reflect these accepted colors, with no distinction made for minor shade variations (except for the exception mentioned with blue).

No idea why blue has special rules, though Anguilla is impacted, and almost always is a “legendary” response.

Globle Capitals is fun too if you know capitals. Today's frustrated me and took me 12. I was all around it and it was the last one I tried in the area.

How is Singapore on East and South China Sea?

How is Singapore on East and South China Sea?

They shouldv’e said East or South Chins Seas, as that’s clearly what they meant. Otherwise, only China and Taiwan would qualify for both.

As a general rule, the fewest possible answers for any given square is 5.
