challenge 1 : learning world flags

6 september 2026 · 5 min read

for this challenge, i decided to learn the flags of the world.

i mainly used jetpunk, literally 100-200 times, to repeatedly test myself and learn through trial and error.

i also used anki web for spaced repetition, but the most important part was simply trying, getting flags wrong, and trying again.

how i learnt the flags

i used different silly memory techniques and mnemonics to remember difficult flags.

for example, i used the grenade-like structure on the grenada flag as a visual mnemonic.

i also used categorization to group similar flags, like monaco, indonesia and poland.

these small memory tricks made it easier to distinguish flags that initially looked almost identical.
