    Did you mean 1/5 19a on the linked clues?
    • Parker constructor · 2024-11-16T21:47:34.343Z
      Yes, I caught that a few hours ago and changed it. Just has to update. Sorry about that, good catch! Thanks for solving!

      I kept thinking flags were going to come into play.
      • Parker constructor · 2024-11-17T02:24:35.492Z
        Well, the clues all had the flag colors in them :)

        Fun, thank you! I thought I got the theme but don't get the "1/5" in the clues. Any hints?
        Small nit on 26D: broadcast TV frequency bands in the US are all below 1 GHZ (UHF gets close but not there). An alternate cluing angle might be computer (CPU) processing speeds.

          1/5 one syllable (major) countries. In believe there are only 5, or atleast there are 5 in the puzzle lol. I didn’t know that about US frequencies, I’ll definitely consider making the change. Thanks sendhil! And thanks for solving!
