Scottish Flag = Look at the blue sky, then imagine a big white "incorrect" cross in the sky, because we never have blue skies.
Azruulei on fact, somebody photographed that paisage

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk i like It kkkkkkkk
I love cloudy skies.

A common Interpretation for the German flag is : from dark times, through bloody wars, into a golden future
No, black for the nazi rule, red for soviet occupation, and yellow for a golden future
And the golden past 28 years...

Wew
Zlkavszka and back to red because of all the muslims and turks comming in
"What do Irish people like most?"
Me:Beer
"Four leaf clovers."
Oh.
don't want to be rude but the thing irish people like most is a pint of Guinness which is actually a type of lager
@@leggedit a lager is technically a type of beer so hes not wrong if you were implying that
**potatos**
Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer
@@leggedit lager?!?!? it's porter!
Or be a nerd like me and just study flags all the time so you can't forget
Yep
Monaco is smaller than Indonesia
Exactly 😂🔪 memorizing the flags and colouring them is way better than remembering with tricks ! Nowadays i need a trick to remember these tricks
@@doodLphin I just memorised all the flags from almost no knowledge at all to now being able to identify all of them. I found that identifying them is much easier than remembering the colours / order from memory so I turned to these tricks to help remember in more detail
@@laurencenoble3629 ok everyone is different anywy this tricks worked for u that's great 💖
A Russian, can confirm we have a sea of blood.
...from the Red Terror?
Sad but true 😅
True story.
comrade, is not sea of blood is sea of *C O M M U N I S M*
Um don't you mean a sea of dead communism...?
The red on most flags represents:
The BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM, THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM!!!!!

As a Hungarian, I was laughing so hard when you introduced our flag. Thanks for making my day. I think a broccoli topped with rice then paprika from Kalocsa is just as fine as yours. :D
PAPRIKA!!!!!!!!!!
Paprika is still good
As for me, I would like to enjoy a nice plate of rice with broccoli on the bottom and sambal on the top (I'm a Malaysian)
I have similarly thought of Hungary's flag as a white plate of red goulash on a green tablecloth. Similarly for India but with orange curry on top instead (and a wheel pattern on the plate).
Am I the only one who though of alcohol when JJ said "what do the Irish love the most"

"Holland is a flat country with nothing" - J.J. McCullough
Mr Elephant You know I love you Holland. You wooden shoe-wearing tulip farmers are A-OK in my book!
J.J. McCullough you mean to the Netherlands is a flat country with nothing, smh
Yeah, calling us Holland is like calling Canada Ontario.
My Grandmother sometimes says "Toronto" when she means to say "Canada." (She is from Toronto)
I think he was referring to after the Islamic invasion.
Hungary/Bulgaria have an easy trick where because Hungary has white in the middle its hungry because its empty, where as Bulgaria has color in the middle and its bulging.
Nice one!
Vexillology Fan I am also a vixilolologist and I agree
A n d i t a l y ?
@@bernadotornado7068 Haha, get triggered. Hungurian
The Hungarian flag is a traffic light (but with white and not yellow) and the Bulgarian just took the red and moved it to the bottom.
When the quiz came, I actually used your tips and got most of them lmao
no
Went to the grocery store yesterday. Saw Italian bread use the flag of Hungary instead of the flag of Italy.
Nah. Nope. Ooooooooo, that must've triggered some Italian people who bought the bread
Flip it you stupid. ( I'm italian )
I don't remember it being on bread, but I have also seen the Hungarian flag be used for otherwise very Italian food at stores.
Same
I saw this pin being sold online a few months ago; it was a “Italian-American Flag Friendship” pin but instead of having the flag of Italy it had the flag of Hungary.
to remember the russian flag i visualize snow covering everything (the white on top), then an ocean (blue) because russia is big and is in contact with different oceans, and deep down the water there's the soviet past (red)
Oh wow! (History yeeesssssss)
lakes are frozen on top, but liquid below the ice, and then you have the molten core of earth.
snow/ice
water
magma
Soviet red may be rising
"Sea of blood" got me. XD
More like 'Tomato Juice'
*breathes heavily

I'm currently using similar tricks to remember Hiragana characters. Like "na" looks like a nun praying, "wa" looks kind of like a harpooned whale, "ru" is holding a ruby, "nu" looks like a bowl of noodles, "tsu" looks like a nose and sounds like a sneeze, "hi" looks like a laughing smile (AKA hehehe), etc. Super helpful! 😁
I remember finding it extremely fortuitous how the character for "n" looks a lot like a cursive lowercase n
And of course, Yu Is A Cute Fishy (TM).
For the Puerto Rico/Cuba mixup, I remember that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so it has red stripes and a blue field for the star - just like the U.S. flag. And since Cuba was formerly a U.S. territory but left the U.S. in rebellion, the colours are swapped - just like a rebel.
Who in their right mind would put ketchup on rice
A Canadian
DeificCosmoplast Nope...At least no one in SK does..Or do they?!
The Japanese do it!
Yes! If anything it should be Paprika! Hungrarians love to put Paprika on everything!
J.J. McCullough oh wow, I didn't know that! The Japanese sure can be pretty....unique sometimes.
Oh... The Hungry Hungary joke again... As a Hungarian, I always laugh on it.
For Romania and Chad-a good way to remember is that the skin color of people from Chad is darker than Romania and the shade of blue is darker on the flag.
Watch out for SJWS
@@harisnaufal890 ? What do sjw's have to do with the Chad and Romania flag?
Every time you call the Netherlands “holland” I die a little inside
Holland is a simple region within the country of the Netherlands, not the county itself.
Yea but come on, it is easier to say 'holland' than 'the netherlands'. 2 syllables vs 4.
plus, he is half-Dutch too. which makes it even more surprising
@@fellox3339 irish.
@@fellox3339 oh I thought you were assuming my nationality.
IKR AHHHH
To remember the italian flag: Just remember the origin history of the pizza ( the Margherita pizza) which says that in June 1889 the pizzaiolo Pizzeria Brandi's chef, invented a dish called "Pizza Margherita" in honor the Queen of Italy, and the Italian unification, since toppings are tomato (red), mozzarella (white) and basil (green), You learn and eat something good at the same time
😂😂😂😂
Right order from the flagpole is basil (green), mozzarella (white) and tomato (red).
Romania and Chad! Teach that!
Sorry, both in french and romanian we say tchad.
Luxembourg and "the flat country with nothing"! Teach that!
i dont mean to sound racist but chads flag has darker colors
Bruh Moment What do you mean? Tchad is just how you write ‘Chad’ in French due to how they write the same ‘ch’ sound. In English Chad is the country and Chad is the lake. In French Tchad is the country and Tchad is the lake.
@@vickwhyvideos6770
Luxembourg, same as the netherlands, but because they're landlocked, their water is drying out, thus getting whiter. 🇱🇺
The canadian flag: man, it's the only flag with a GIANT RED MAPLE LEAF IN THE WORLD!!!! HOW CAN ANYONE NOT REMEMBER ?!?!!!
Gabriel Nobre IT'S THE ONLY FLAG WITH ANY SORT OF LEAF SHAPE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Norfolk Island 🇳🇫
How are we supposed to know what a maple leaf looks like?
@@dibrentley7915 just remember its 3 pointy out bits at the top, 2 smaller ones lower down, and a stem at the bottom :P
you now know what a canadian looks like to as they are just maple leaves.
@@dibrentley7915 By googling
"Holland Flag"
I'm gonna have to stop you right there.
Netherlands. North Holland and South Holland are provinces OF The Netherlands. Calling The Netherlands "Holland" is like calling Germany "Bayern" or calling Canada "Quebéc".
He's still saying Holland to this day; that Quebécer, living north of Texas; the two countries who broke away from England.
I sometimes call Canadians Québécois just so I can make them rage
Holland is more iconic than 'bayern' in Germany and 'quebec' in canada
In hungarian it's Hollandia. The closest we have to the Netherlands is németalföld (german plains/lowland), but I dont think the dutch would like that (I guess). And its only used in historical context, it doesnt actually mean the Netherlands (eventhough it does 🤷♂️)
Flag of Austria: After a battle, the white surcoat of the Austrian ruler was completely drenched in blood. When he removed his belt, the cloth beneath remained unstained, revealing the combination of red-white-red.
Flag of Latvia: The mortally wounded chief of a Latvian tribe was wrapped in a white sheet. The part of the sheet on which he was lying remained white, but the two edges were stained in his blood, revealing the combination of red-white-red^^
This confirms it! The Geography Now fanbase and the J.J. fans are one and the same! #thebloodofthosewhofightforthefreedom
theunsolvedcase Yea, JJ is also a geograpeep
For knowing the difference between the flags of Romanian and Chad, I imagine that since Chad is a less developed, more unstable country the blue has a harsher and darker shade to it. And since Romania is more developed and stable, it's blue has a lighter tint to it.
thank you!
@@andreafruelda np. Not sure about the stability part but you catch my drift haha
Deeply offended by this
@@ntitai But why?
@@desideriosessa9448maybe because you called his country unstable? IDK tbh im not trying to be annoying just helpful.
A good way to remember the Irish flag is thinking of the green Irish being from the left side, and the orange British being from the right side of the British Isles.
The bars of the Belgian flag are vertical because they had to "put up" with the Germans.
the German flag I think of a fire it's starts bright at the bottom but when it get higher it gets black
Paul Zawkiewicz to me it's a campfire because (insert what you commented) but the black is a night sky
I am Pole and when I sometimes meet a person who can't remember the order of Russkaya flag I just tell them that Russian flag is a rip-off of our (polish) flag but they simply put the blue stripe through the middle to fool us that they didn't steal our flag. It always helps,
lol
Fun fact. Besides white and red (crimson), sapphire blue was the third (mostly unofficial) colour of Poles and Poland. But the colours order was white, crimson and sapphire. :P But etymology of Russian flag is quite funny because when tsar Peter I the Great was in Holland and saw theirs red, white and blue flag he decided that this colours will look good on Russian navy but he just swapped the order. :D
Czech flag: Poles stole it so we added a blue triangle
@@evzenvarga9707 Actually Poland and Bohemia since middle ages used mostly white and red in their symbols. And yes, original Bohemia flag is white and red (but red have different shade than Poland and different proportions). The blue triangle supposed to symbolise Slovakia in Czechoslovakia. But when Czechoslovakia fell apart Czech leaders realised that Czech flag is extremely similar to Polish one and stayed with the Czechoslovakian flag. Actually more sense would have replacing blue with yellow, which is colour of Moravia and Silesia.
Who can also say Indonesia stole your flag by reversing it
How i memorize flags:
I just do, it’s like a little catalog in my brain.
The Polish flag is easy to remember, just think of Polandball... and then remember that it's wrong.
White on top like Bulgaria and Russia, sea of blood on the bottom.
Étienne Murase skip the sky
Probably the most entertaining/educational video I've seen in a long time. You're amazing!
How to remember France: Blue: Waters of the Channel White: je suis surrender Red: Blood from the wars
Your trick is mostly good for remembering France, although France has won more wars than Americans have given them for (and that's an American speaking! William the Conqueror won against England, the French helped the US in the American Revolution, and Napoleon won a lot of wars). Although I have gotten the French flag well memorized myself, I have also heard a historical explanation for the creation of France's tricolor that can be used to remember it's pattern: blue and white are the colors of Paris, and it surrounds the color white (the color of France's royal family, even when not losing battles), referencing the King of France being moved from Versailles to Paris in 1789 (Paris surrounding the King), two years before the first French tricolor was created. This history can help remember the flag of France without offending Frenchmen (both because of the previously mentioned victories and because of _le_ _Resistance!)._
Italian flag: Just remember If you see a Margherita pizza, the colors of the flag from left to right are the top-down ingredients you see in pizza: Basil (green), white cheese (white) and tomato sauce (red)
The German flag is actually black, red an golden. Officially gold!
Lithuania: Soviet Union: Red Independence: Yellow Now: Green. Now turn it upside down and BTW, it’s horizontal
Paula Mais what about the sea of blood
Greetings from an Austrian
NO!!!! It's yellow-green-red Yellow is like blonde girl, green... She's bathing in green sea, red - her feets are bleeding
Bulgaria is also known for roses, so I guess you could imagine the sea of blood is just a sea of rose petals..?
Indonesian Flag: Our flag is same as Monaco, except that Our flag is longer to the side than Monaco. And the way we have our flag is cool af, we just striped Dutch flag on the blue one and then we have our flag.
Lithuania is a veggie burger. Yellow bread, green veggies, and red ketchup.

Paula Mais wheres the other bread =)
Myanmar: Lithuania but with extra white star
@@risannd #ampunbangjago
i always remember the german flag being in alphabetical order in english (B-R-Y, black red yellow)
That's true. It's gotta be a slightly orange tainted yellow to be official :) A pure yellow band would probably look a bit off to us.
gelb, rot, schwarz (yellow, red, black)
am I doing it correctly?
@@CallieMasters5000 They may call it gold but we all know it's really yellow.
Flag of Australia and of New Zealand, Australia was the first of the two to be colonised into the British Empire so they have the more basic flag, just white stars.
New Zealand on the other hand was younger and therefore built on the Aussie flag to have white and red coloured stars. Also Australia is larger so has more stars on it.
Joseph Tebay Those stars are the southern cross
If remembering country flags is hard imagine how difficult must be learning and remembering all Hiragana and Katakana letters/symbols and most of the more Kanji symbols
I know it's not the same thing but still...
The Mexican flag is the Italian flag that flew half way around the world... like an eagle
GrantJBratcher you are a genius
GrantJBratcher, Except the Mexican flag came before the Italian flag.
03Terrestre it also flew over your head
Actar, Oooooh another genius.
@@03Terrestre The Italian tricolor dates from 1798 when it was used by the Cisalpine Republic, one of the territories that would eventually become part of unified Italy. I believe the Mexican flag, in a design similar to the current one, dates from 1821.
Well I just remember *r*ed to the *r*ight for France and Italy.
That's a good one!
omg jj, truly hilarious. and that semi smile/smirk white you're talking, so funny, so adorable!
Loved this video! Do more of these man
the sea of blood 'im dying hahaha'
Ah the hungry Hungary joke never gets old, right? ^J^
Wie nennt man einen rohen Europäer? Ungar.
Austria: *IM HUNGRY FOR HUNGARY*
Ottoman Empire: *ME TO SHALL WE SPLITIES*
Austria: *OF COURSE*
Good ones! I live in the Netherlands and you're absolutely spot on about it being flat with nothing. But somehow I always had trouble remembering the exact color order of flags of our neighbouring countries. For Belgium an analogy with beer would probably be more fitting, but I don't see a way of making that work.
I guess you could be like, black beer, yellow beer, bloody death from over-drinking.
Doesn't really work, since you usually won't drink blond beer after dark beer. Also, if you just want to get drunk, don't waste great Belgium beer but drink some Dutch horse piss like Heineken ;-)
(I may be Dutch and more than anything we like to make fun of Belgium, but the Belgians do actually beat us at everything important in life: beer, food, music and now even football).
A German is drinking a beer, but he's already so drunk that he vomits a sea of blood into his beer and then coughs up his liver.
india:
india has pollutwd skies so orange comes first in the top then white because they have a white taj mahal and green because they have green grounds then they sell alot of bikes put a bike wheel on the center thn you get india

Ours is easy to remember.
There's dragons all over the place.
Wales?
I learned the difference between the Montenegrin and Albanian flags because I was taught that Montenegro is better than Albania, so they have a pretty golden eagle while the Albanians have a simple black one (no offense to Albanians)
Montenegro translates to 'black mountain'. CANNOT UNTHINK, MWAHAHAHAHA!
Thank J.J this will really help me remember flags
The vatican flag. The yellow is a door and your using a key to get to your closet to but a hat in
All the Slavic countries (jokes btw):
Poland: It's an electrode but without facial features.
Czech Republic: Okay we take Poland and go Triangle Time!
Russia: Snow from Siberia, Blue is like water and water is a liquid and so is vodka (very bad but i couldn't come up with anything) and finally the remnants of the USSR.
Slovakia: The same as Russia but add that nice coat of arms.
Slovenia: Take Slovakia but stretch up the dimensions a bit and remove their COA and add your own, make it smaller.
Croatia: Someone decided to play Chess on the Netherlands' flag.
Belarus: There's a carpet. And the green is from Chernobyl.
Ukraine: It's blue for rivers, but the yellow is from Chernobyl.
B&H: It's like a dream goal but within a flag, Bosnia looks like they can join the EU but they haven't, so their flag is made to look like it.
Macedonia/FYROM: Take Japanese Empire's flag but make it a yellow sun in a red devil sky.
Serbia: RUSSIA UPSIDE DOWN, and coat of arms for added kebab removal powers.
Montenegro: There's no mountain. Or negro for that matter.
Bulgaria: Ketchup under veggies under garlic sauce.
I might be totally wrong with this but i think it's something in countryballs (could be totally wrong though)
It's about Serbia's ethnic cleansing against Bosniaks, who eat kebabs sometimes I guess.
PAPRIKA NOT KETCHUP
Redbaron Poland is Slav?
yes
I was going down Hastings in Vancouver, when I saw a little corner of an intersection with 1 tree and a bunch of homeless people (it's Hastings Street). The tiny little sliver of sidewalk was called 'Pigeon Park'. This made me wonder what other stupid parks/public attractions there are in the world. I am too lazy to research this stuff on my own, but I thought it would be cool if you were to make a video like this.
great video as usual JJ! 😆
Green shamrocks 😅😂
Excellent video & your methods work! Need part 2🤩
Switzerland and Denmark
Switzerland is landlocked (on maps) and the cross on its flag does not touch the border so its technically "landlocked"
Denmark has a coastline (on maps) and the cross on its flag touches the border so it technically has a "coastline"
Hope this helps!
Also all nordic countries have a coastline
All Nordic countries have a cross also, right?
@@JohnRay1969 yes

One of the few times I've laughed out loud on RUclips. Thanks!
So for Latvia you pretty much take a red table cloth and just ruin it by smearing mayo stripe right in the middle
Kupaars and Austria
The Xs:
*The Alabama Flag:* A big red X on white ground. The universal sign for NO! NO WAY! NO!
*The Scottish Flag:* A big white X on blue ground. The universal sign for F*CK OFF ENGLISHMEN!
*The Jamaican Flag:* One could think it's an X as well. Good guess, but no, the Jamaicans are very friendly people. It's actually a set of golden shades for your sunny days on the beach. The green is self-explanatory ;)
The Nordics:
*Sweden:* It's Ikea. Don't even worry about it.
*Finland:* Mainly snow. Some rivers.
*Norway:* It's Finland, but some unfortunate skier bled into the snow. Shit. Well, at least it didn't drain into the river!
*Iceland:* DAMN IT! IT RAINED! NOW EVERYTHING IS FLOODED AND ALL THE BLOOD GOT SWEPT DOWN INTO THE RIVER!
*Denmark:* Oh Denmark? Denmark borders Germany right? You know who else has borders with Germany? Switzerland. Switzerland does. Think about it. It all makes sense now.
Others:
*The Flag of Puerto Rico:* It's Cuba! But it's American!
*The Flag of the German Empire:* Coal and blood... yeah... something, something is missing... oh right! Gotta add beautiful golden beer to make a friendlier version of Germany ;)
*The Flag of the U.S.A.:* It's perfect. That's how you recognize it.
I see where you're coming from, but the US flag is really not a good flag In my opinion. It's not as ugly as the NZ flag, but it's got nothing on flags such as South Africa, Japan or (for comedies sake) Wales. Not trying to say anything political or whatever, but I just really hate the design of the US flag.
No, the flag of the UK is perfect. So simmetric.
Now I'll play the Nationalist card and say Mexico's flag is also goddamn perfect
It was a joke ;) I'm German and I only called the US flag perfect, because that's what the stereotypical American would say. I do however think it's a really neat design... I think we're just too used to it at this point, to really appreciate it. But my favourite flag is still the United Nations one. Looks like something out of Star Trek. So promising.
I'm sorry the UK flag is *NOT* symmetrical! XD Look at the diagonal red lines. They don't match up!? What's going on there? Please fix it Brits ;)
theunsolvedcase I think we're to busy screaming at each other about if Brexit sounds like a quirky cereal brand or not

Why do the French hate americans? Could you make a video on different countries and feuds between them?
Callie Masters it could be made in parts, or just a short summary. Like those animated history videos :)
Nice video, just subscribed!
Malaysia: Likes America but is muslim so american flag but instead of stars theres the muslim symbol
Indonesia: Land is wide, so flag is wider (to different from Monaco's flag), and Red for ketchup and White for rice because they're the most served dish.
iiSpaceAviator red is chili because (quoting some other guy in the comment section whose name I forgot) Who in their right mind would put ketchup on rice!? And because my ridiculously big family and I are Indonesian so I know Indonesians like their food spicy.
RIP my grammar in that other comment I made
Hi Random Person Yeah I forgot about chili haha, I'm also Indonesian
How many times do we have to tell everyone??? Malaysia didn't copy the United States!!!
This video made my day! Thank you man! I'm still giggling :P
The methods for Ireland and Hungary are great! I will always remember the right flags of these countries and never get them mixed up now. Thanks J.J.!
Germany: first evil, then communists, then happy
Drew Conway Prussia and the German Empire weren’t bad though.
Evil: World War II
Middle: Cold War
Happy: 21st Century
1:27 Me: ITS NOT HOLLAND!
My trick for Chad & Romania:
You don't.
Ausumn / TrueAC Same with Netherlands and Luxembourg
Hi Random Person, I like to think that Luxembourg's colours are slightly lighter and more babyish than the Netherland's because they're like their smaller and cuter baby brother.
P.S. As for Romania and Chad it's a bit harder, but I guess Romania's blue is slightly lighter because their flag is older and the colour has faded a little, whereas Chad's is newer and so the colour is fresher.
Loved this so much! Tricks like this got me through college.
No I'm not Hungary any more u just made me through up my lunch who puts ketchup on rice...
IK it's a joke
Tazzie Devil04 The ironic thing is Hungarians actually put ketchup on everything
Jonathan B. Come to India they even put it on pizza
Tazzie Devil04 I’ve been to a restaurant where they did curry pizzas is that a thing in India or not?
Jonathan B. Only went to one restraunt that served that
Tazzie Devil04 well, Hungarians as well
Ukraine: Blue sky on top, Wheat field on the bottom
Isn't that what it actually stands for?
for me it's blue sky and rocket fire bc we can into space unlike our polish brethren
@@petrvilimek6041 i think it is
Don't remind me of Ukraine! MH17 was shot by the country whose flag resembles "the sky and sea of blood"! 😭
I knew an Estonian man who told me the flag was snow, then the dark trees, and then the sky. He then showed me a picture of Estonia that fit that description perfectly. They live in a tricolor world.
(2:50) The way I remember the Hungarian flag is that it's a traffic light, but with white instead of yellow. Then when you hand the Hungarian flag vertically, you take the left side and flip it to the top, and then mirror it. So when you read the colours from top-left to bottom-right (like you read text), the colours should go red-white-green regardless if it's horizontal or vertical. But the Italian flag is in the other way around; green-white-red.
-I just remember them based on what they look like, I am a sensible person that just forgets the annoying and remembers it directly just as my mind does with the world map, political and physical.-
Boy did I use to be an asshole, glad I'm through with this phase.
As for the national flag of Malaysia (my country), I remember the South China Sea (dark blue canton with yellow crescent and 14-point star) and candy cane (red-and-white stripes)!

roger roger 2187 not really on topic but I don’t disagree
J.J. McCullough well when you said that they messed up the flag, I almost laughed and cried at the fact that they embarrassed themselves in front of foreign royalty
As a Canadian/Hungarian, I am happy you mentioned my background country! I think there are a few ways to interpret the flag of Hungary. Going with the food principle, we can see green as cabbage or green peppers, the white it either white rice or sour cream topped with paprika paste.
to remember my nordic cross flags
