When folded properly, the flag forms a triangle with how many stars showing?

• A. Square with all stars hidden
• B. Triangle with four stars showing
• C. Circle of stars
• D. Rectangle with half the stars showing

Answer: (B)

During the ceremonial flag fold, the flag is turned into a triangle with the blue field of stars tucked toward the tip. This folding hides most of the stars inside, so only a small cluster remains visible on the outside. In the standard triangle fold, that cluster is four stars showing. So you end up with a triangle shape that displays four stars, not a square, circle, or a rectangle with half the stars showing.
