The º Flag is a tribar of red, indigo, violet. Red is coded to 1, indigo is coded to 6, and violet is coded to 7. The code is based upon the standard order of the rainbow. The contrast indicator for violet is yellow so the degrees symbol is put here instead of the middle, to show it is not the centered circle key.
Below is the trio of Three Degreesººº. Did you ever notice that radio only plays pop hits from the 80s, 90s, and, 00s. At least in Philly they have been playing that same track since 1986! What about all the cool pop songs from the early 1970s and 1960s! My gosh there is so much hidden gold. Love em' but Yaz' gotta give Madonna, Cindy L., U2, and 70s Hard Rock a Break.
Here is lovely song from 1974, and we are finally meeting up in 2019! Way too long! DJ on the radio, you failed!
This £ Flag is a vertical tribar of red, blue, and indigo. Why? Because the colours are reflective of the order of the rainbow as established by Issac Newton. In truth there are nearly an infinite number of colours in the rainbow but the dominant way of looking at white light broken up by a prism is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Consequently, each number is assigned its corresponding value as determined by this natural law order. Thus 1, 5, and 6 is the order represented, which is tied to the ASCII code of for the £ key.
Oddly blue is one of those colours whose labels is not quite fixed, much as was the colour orange 1000 years ago. Previously in ancient England red and orange were one in the same colour. Today blue/sky blue/cyan/navy blue are in that same position. Some people know the difference, but in common speech its easy to get them confused. Cyan/baby blue is the lighter hue of blue after green. While navy blue/dark blue/indigo is the darker version of blue just before violet.

Oddly there is no ¢ key on the keyboard. Why not? We have a dollar key "$" hiding under the 4 key after all! The secret to getting the ¢ to appear is to hold the ALT key and then hitting 1, let go, 5, let go, 5, let go while keeping the ALT key down until the ¢ appears.
Perhaps you heard of 101 Dalmations? Did you hear of the 155 Delmations of Ancient Rome? In some weird way it is the land of Ancient Croatia. In the year 155 BC Mr. Nasica, Scipio defeated more than 101 Illyrians.
Also the word cent is derived from the ancient Roman language of Latin that means 100.
Hopefully, you can see that in 155 BC more than 101 Delmations lost their lives to Rome. Although most countries had their own denominations at one time, they still carry on the tradition of dividing their currency into 1/100ths..."CENTuries."
As for the flag colours, red represents the number 1 since red is the 1st colour of the rainbow. Blue/Cyan is coded to 5 since it is the 5th colour of the rainbow. Coincidentally the contrast indicator for cyan is red so it reflects a connection to the fractional value of unit dollar. It makes real the expression of not handing over one "One Red ¢."
The ± Flag is a tri-bar of orange, green, and red. Using colour metrics, orange is coded to 2 because it is the second colour of the rainbow; green is coded to 4 becuase it is the 4th colour of the rainbow; and red is coded to 1 because it is the 1st colour of the rainbow. The yellow ± symbol is yellow because it is the assigned contrast indicator for green.
The ± is like the Yin and Yang symbol from the East.
Here is a song that has that transitional 80/90s bop beat!
Two Bits make a Quarter. We love to cut things in quarters, like the year and business cycle, day, time, life, sport. In this case the ¼ Flag is a tribar of red, violet, and orange, because red is coded to one, violet is coded to seven and orange is coded to two. The order is based upon the colours of the rainbow, red being first so it represents one etc...
This base is based upon ASCII. When you hold the ALT Key and then press one after another (NOT AT THE SAME TIME) the number 1,7, then 2 and let go of 2 while holding down the ALT Key the ¼ sign will appear!
Apparently ½ way is located on Alternate Route 171?
When you hold the ALT Key and then press 1,7, 1, letting go of the second 1 while still holding the ALT Key, the 1/2 symbol will appear.
The ½ Flag is a tri-bar of red, violet, red with a yellow ½ symbol in the middle. Red is coded to 1 while violet is coded to 7. Of the seven primary colours, red is 1st and violet is 7th. Yellow is the assigned contrast indicator for violet.
You can make ½ the world happy and ½ the world angry with nearly all important decisions. So in order to make more than ½ happy, here are two songs of two different genres.
Long hand division is the ace of arithmetic. To do this process you need to add, subtract and multiply, especially with big multi-digit numbers. But why no division key on the standard keyboard? Is there a dislike of the super, adventure challenge that makes you think deeply? Division is very scientific kind of thinking, especially with word problems. The thing is, to have fun and take your time doing long division, those matheletes who go for speed over joy are missing out. Unfortunately the educational system sucks to joy out of math to get approval from the others. You can find joy in math from within, ignore what other people think, take your time and savor the difficulty with a long division challenge!
Orange is coded to 2, green is coded to 4, and blue is coded to 6. Because blue is the 6th colour of the spectrum, green is 4th and orange is 2nd. Yeah, I went backwards, which is what division kinda' feels like. It's like traveling backwards in time, so have fun doing it.
