This week, Tweep @TUNlSlAN made quite the witty observation on the social media platform regarding Arab flags - pointing out that they are prime examples of 'yeah you can copy my homework but don't make it bait tho.'
We all know how similar our flags are - like so similar that you can barely get half of them right in a quiz. And if you do know them all, you're marketed a genius.
The flag adaptations truly look like some just copied the homework of others.
So, in a bid to make it easier on others, we tried to imagine what it would have been like had the countries been students, and the flags homework assigned by a teacher.
Disclaimer: Not all 22 Arab flags are included in this post and the date of the flags is not taken into consideration.
