On Monday, 16 June, the American Space at Tallinn Technical University opens an exhibition about the American Flag.

How much do you know about the America’s “Stars and Stripes”?  Take our quiz, leave your answers here (in the comments section) and the winner gets a prize. (It's a book, but the title is a suprise.)

1) The white in the Estonian flag represents snow or freedom. What does the white in the American flag represent? 

2) How many stars did the “Betsy Ross” flag have?

3) The U.S. flag served as an inspiration for Francis Scott Key. What did he write?  

4) Which state was the last one to join? What year did it happen?

5) How many stars are on the current flag and what do they represent?

Bonus: Do you know what the stripes on the flag represent? 

If these questions stumped you, stop by the exhibit to learn more about the history and meaning of the U.S. flag.
