Wooohoo. That's a win for me.

Yeah I recognise the Lebanese flag now that I've seen it. Though don't remember ever seeing any of the other 3 in my life.

Just substitute 2 in for all the √5 and it becomes really easy.

(2+2)2 = 16

(2+2)-2 = very little

16/4 = 4 = 2*2, therefore B.

Exactly what I did as well. If I had pencil and paper handy I probably would've worked it out in full.
