Take a look at this picture of a man with a flag painted on his face. Now think what the colours of that flag are.

B/W picture of a man with a flag painted on his face

You decided yet?

This is not a trick question, just a little something I noticed in myself. See, upon looking at the picture I immediately pictured it in blue and white, ie. the colours of the Finnish flag. But actually this picture accompanied the review of a book about English nationality. Of course I knew that all along before I even took a good look at the picture (not to mention that the proportions are all wrong for it to be the Finnish flag), and still… Fascinating.
