I am Canadian, and I answered correctly.

As an Australian, I didn't know the answer, so I took the majority answer.

Jonesy, I am also an Australian who had come across this information previously. You don’t have to be American to know the answer.

Green Machine, I don't expect folks from other countries to know the answer, but it's pathetic when Americns are unaware.

Our flag is a history lesson! It shows where we started (13 original colonies) and where we are now (50 states).

i simply counted the stripes
Player Say what!?
Every single American should know the answer IMMEDIATELY. For those who had to count the stripes, I hope you're from another country.

Player Say what!?, You can blame the American school system in recent years for this failure. Children need to learn about their country's government on how it's structured and its history.

Player #120374466, they teach this. If people forget, its not the education systems fault.

In the 50s and 60s films set earlier had to use "wrong" US flags as they had to use the current 50 star flag rather than the 48 star flag used earlier in the century (especially in WW2) before Alaska and Hawaii became states.

Player #92723922, all flags are a history lesson, usually more so than the stars and stripes due to how much history they have
