Something something french flag should be at the top something something
- It's in the middle, sharing with Netherlands.
  
  The joke is that it should be 100% white
  
  And Luxembourg
French flag is perfect balance
- So is the Dutch flag. 🇳🇱
The polish flag is missing. Or it may be hidden behind the Indonesian flag.
The Netherlands had the original and should be on top of the French one.
Either the scales are messed up or French flag is 70% blue, 50% red and 30% white??
- You’re reading it wrong: the axis is tilted slightly, so red and white are diagonal.
  
  Ah, I see it now, but this is weird. Red and blue are at 60 degree angle, but white is read at 90.
  
  I guess it's still the same angle relative to each of axes, but yeah, that's confusing. Thanks for explaining.
