NEAT. Check out the flags. They have the old 48 star grid (8 wide by 6 tall) from before Alaska and Hawaii were added as states. Fun fact: our current flag was only adopted in 1960.

If you ask most Americans to "draw the stars" of the flag, they will almost inevitably draw an even grid and try to make the math work. Our current flag requires the rows to be offset, so there are not an even number of stars per row.
