And whatever it is, the answer to your question is most definitely "NO".

***** As far as I'm aware this is not the case for any nation.

[@amonickerofprofoundpretention]

Aadarsha Ghatani They probably did. In the same way people meticulously describe borders. It's one of those things because of witch people are like "Okay, let's sit down and describe it in such a way that one could ever misunderstand what we have in mind." Well, as said this approach is usually saved for borders, but with flag design like that people had to be meticulous about it.

[@astro-zodiac]

Love from NEPAL. Thanks for the video Numberphile.

[@sabinrawr]

Has Sheldon Cooper shown this on Fun with Flags yet?

[@RealDealHolyfield2099]

Nepal does have a beautiful flag. I like it even more now after seeing this video.

[@adamplace1414]

I don't know why exactly but watching this video made my day. Fascinating and fun and so unique.

[@JabinaMaharjan05]

KZbin recommended this video to me after 7 years wow 😂😂

[@WhoAmI-df7sk]

[@nikeshrai8168]

[@andre03051995]

Seems "Fun with flags with Sheldon Cooper"

[@dionakgamer7769]

this flag is 2000 yrs older, imagine the mathematician at that time. I think western's maths are easy.

[@zzzZ-ml2fm]

Bhutro easy machikeny

[@ryuke_op3168]

ClashHax machikni🤣🤣♥️

[@beastydemon1886]

Now I understand why my schools exam paper has 15 marks for drawing Nepal's flag😂😂😂

[@suprabhathapaliya2833]

I once tried to read those drawing instructions but never tried to draw😂..you did it man Love from Nepal

[@lovalop6497]

My country's flag Proud to be Nepali 😄😃

[@xd8812]

i'm proud not to be in this country with all of these nationalistic people :)

[@RabinsXP]

We also know how to help selflessly. See the history, we need not say :) Hospitality works itself. We love our country and respect other countries and if anyone tries to break the peace, a Gorkhas rise from there until then Buddha's teachings are with us.

[@xd8812]

tf cult much?

[@russellpradhananga2124]

[@asteraceae3650]

Instead focusing on history all the time , why not begin to focus on solutions to better the country and reduce corruption.

[@AdminAnish]

😍😍😍😍😍 I am surprised after seeing this video on Numberphile in 2019, uploaded 6 years ago Thank you so much for this😊😊😊 Also the map of our country is also amazing

[@pratiksharma3538]

Guff hanxs?

[@binamangrati1632]

after for so many freaking years m getting to know how the flag is to be mathematically drawn woah...thnx for the recommendation.Nepalese this side🇳🇵

[@adhikarimahendra6445]

It has more importance from the ancient Hindu philosopical aspect. It is Wonderful and Unique flag representing Nepal in the world.

[@VijayaPrakashKandel]

First thank you numberphile for the wonderful video. Really appreciate the hard civil engineering work you did to showcase how Nepals flag is made. Second, all Nepalese viewers share this thing, especially to 9 -10 graders who need to make nepals flag all the time. At least they will begin to appreciate what it took for the creators.

[@millie578]

I just hope you realize that it was an engineer who came up with the design during King Mahendra's reign. Mahendra wanted a unique flag that would represent Nepal the best.

[@skynet091287]

Still a simpler explanation then the instructions for Ikea furniture...

[@moksha2.0]

Awesome work..Thanks for sharing this information.

[@mahendraraz]

Wow :) loved your amazing description. I love my country 🇳🇵

[@b4ux1t3-tech]

That's actually really beautiful when you think about it.

[@hippiechickie18]

Geometry class all over again...

[@MohitAwasthi01]

Here I am after 2 hour long KZbin session early in the morning and I'm glad to find this.

[@ghisingn-nabin2207]

First Dr. james from Hello Nepal . Thank you very much for explaining the flag of Nepal in mathematical form. Not only the flag of Nepal but also the world because of the geography of Nepal is special . We welcome you to visit Nepal in the year 2020.

[@Catishcat]

Swaziland Flag: 1) Locate and look directly into the flag 2) Say -"MEIN GOTT" and go away.

[@saugatkattel8184]

I made this flag many times but it was not perfect. I even don't know that my country's flag is so hard to make.

[@prateekgiree1613]

Every other country *draws square or rectangle and some lines inside it * Nepal: *lets create mathematical beauty*

[@steveyuhas9278]

This is like the ikea of flag construction. I would totally end up with a differential equation inside a trapezoid or something by the end.

[@TheEpicCookie97]

Numberphile introdusing: ''Fun with flags!''

[@daredevil6145]

And still, we don't draw like this!!! Lol. Teacher: Draw our Flag. Student: One vertical line, 2 Triangles(one longer), a circle(add spikes later) and a crescent(add spikes too) and done!

[@MasterOfPuppet714]

Love from Nepal. History speaks brother.

[@sumitrimal3762]

Being citizen of this nation i didn't even realize we have such a hidden mistry in our flag Thanks a lot for sharing such information. Love from Nepal🙏🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

[@MilanTheAngel]

I'm from Peru, my flag be like: 1.Divide rectangle into thirds. 2.Paint 2 outer thirds red. 3.Paint center third white and with the coat of arms. 4.Show the chileans how cool your flag is.

[@wviampero]

umm ok?

[@potato-hj9nm]

You didn't say the shape of the 3rds.

[@srijanchakraborty203]

wat please

[@ampjam]

'Merica!

[@bonyuri5211]

NOPE!! NO ONE DRAWS A COAT OF ARMS!!

[@aktan4ik]

At least Japan has the most geometrical flag

[@ahoymatie9286]

And possibly easiest to draw

[@arnoutkroeze4704]

+Ahoy matie circles are tough! Poland, for example, just has a straight line in the middle!

[@ahoymatie9286]

+Arnout Rhapsody but you only have Ro colour in the centre

[@JamoWaffleSponge]

+Arnout Rhapsody So are straight lines...

[@davidauty5980]

+ReXzz 3 different colour bands and a crescent moon and five pointed star? I presume you are talking about the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya flag

[@laxmeekhanal8452]

KZbin recommended this video after years but one of the amazing video Being a Nepali I never knew this much about our flag Simply we used to make two traingle and make flag

[@whitneyhouston2908]

Well we Nepalese have literally drawn it since LKG or UKG lol 😂
