0:00:19 > 0:00:21countries!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Polar ice caps, roads on street maps.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Languages spoken

0:00:35 > 0:00:37to fly about!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Come on, let's get to those facts.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44First up, today's Stars & Stripes design of the American flag
0:00:44 > 0:00:49was drawn up by a 17-year-old schoolboy called Robert G Heft.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52But he was only given a B- for it.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Robert's teacher said that if he could get the important people
0:00:56 > 0:00:59of the United States government to like the flag,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01then he'd give him a better grade.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So Robert did! And his flag,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07known as the Star Spangled Banner, is now 60 years old
0:01:07 > 0:01:10and has been flown on important buildings all over the world.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We'd definitely give him an A star!
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Next, the Spanish national anthem, the Marcha Real,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21has absolutely no words,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25and was composed by back in 1761,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27before electricity was invented.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Lots of songwriters have tried to give Marcha Real words,
0:01:31 > 0:01:32but none have stuck.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Lyrics were written for the anthem in a competition
0:01:36 > 0:01:39before the Beijing Olympics, but after only five days,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43it was decided that the anthem should stay lyric-less.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Oh, well. At least you'll never forget the words!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Next to Hawaii. Aloha!
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Did you know the Hawaiian alphabet only has 13 letters?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59It has five vowels - A, E, I, O, U -
0:01:59 > 0:02:05and seven consonants - H, K, L, M, N, P and W.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09And something called an 'okina, which is a silent...
0:02:10 > 0:02:11..pause.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Even though Hawaiian is the national language of Hawaii,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17only 1,000 people living there speak it.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Most of the islanders actually speak English. I say!
0:02:21 > 0:02:26And finally, can you guess what Scotland's national animal is?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28it's not a stag,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29or a highland cow.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Not even the Loch Ness monster.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's a unicorn!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36700 years ago, King Robert of Scotland
0:02:36 > 0:02:39liked magical unicorn stories so much,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41he picked the animal for his country.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Unicorns have been seen on Scottish money ever since,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47and are still used in royal symbols today.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Not bad for a rainbow-loving animal that isn't real!
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Fact.
