[Ans] What state has the only non-rectangular state flag?

Trivia: What state has the only non-rectangular state flag?

Florida
New York
Montana
Ohio

The correct answer is Ohio

So why is this answer correct? : While 49 states feature rectangular state flags, one deviates from the pattern: Ohio, the Buckeye State. Ohio’s state flag is triangular and tapers into a swallowtail shape at the end. While it is uncertain what inspired designer John Eisenmann to attempt this shape, it is thought that the swallowtail-shaped pennants sometimes carried by U.S. cavalry members were an influence.
