Well then we should start pooling in.
The only ones I have is that dots are a traditional pattern in african dresses and that some african tribes do not distinguish between green, blue and purple. They have same names for all of them.

I think this has been around for quite a while to qualify for a HINT.

All right then. Some dots are [hide]unimportant. I put them there to make the puzzle more interesting[/hide].

would some coloured filters help?

Is he [hide]looking for diamonds[/hide]?

Colored filters wouldn’t help and he’s not looking for diamonds.

[hide]Only one hue[/hide] is important.

The one [hide]forming a pentagon[/hide]?

Yes. Now you know where he works. Do you have an idea for the 2nd part of the question?

Title: Re: Million Dollar Riddle
Post by alien2 on Jul 31st, 2011, 5:32pm
It has to do with a certain [hide]African flag[/hide].


As I said, [hide]only one hue is important[/hide]. So, can you [hide]visualize another figure[/hide]?

[hide]Libya?[/hide] Until very recently it was the only country with a [hide]monochromatic flag.[/hide]

Post by alien2 on Nov 3rd, 2011, 2:19pm
Nope. Focus on current flags. The page below might help.

Well, my Libya answer was current at the time the problem was posted! Gaddafi was still in power and Libya still had the all green flag when you posted that.
