Spot the Difference

Do you remember the 1990s PBS game show “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego”? It was created in response to a National Geographic survey which stated that one in four Americans could not locate Russia or the Pacific Ocean!

The flag of America that we’re familiar with today is the longest-running unmodified version the US has had – and it’s gone through a total of 26 iterations! The first flag was the Continental Navy ensign, which looks similar to the current flag except for its fewer stars, which are arranged in a circle rather than in lines.

Being scatterbrained and disorganised can be annoying to people around you – but there’s a strong correlation between chronic disorganisation and higher intelligence and creativity. Scatterbrained people also have a broader-than-average range of interests, and when they come across as know-it-alls, that’s probably because, well, they know it all.
