Start with what you see. Clever concept!

Nice one. I had to search a bit for some info, but it fell apart quickly once I got the idea.

Amazingly well constructed. Though my wife had to give me a nudge on how to solve it...

Too clever for me. Though, it may be one of those keeping coming back to it until it just "clicks" ones.

Pretty neat idea! The last step is a little bit of a stretch, but the theme lends support. __________

Do the colors matter?
KayAyTeeEyeEe
Are the specific places listed of any significance or is it more general?

[8] before I remembered it was a one-word wonder, I thought the answer was "country star" This incorrect answer did lead me to the proper method, once I did recall it was a OWW.
[11] yes, the specific places are important.
Murdoctor
[10] No... the colors don't matter; just the shapes.
sorter
I figured out the clues, but don't know where to go from there.

I haven't solved this yet, but I did notice that the current deal also contains this shape... :)

[2] I see a blue UN countries star on gold...
Probably over thinking it...

[15] Notice that [13] implied that there is more than one important shape.

Bah, had the right method a while ago but screwed up the application.

I spent too much time on the dead end of looking up capitals before hitting on the correct method. It is clever, though.

Edit: Ahhh, the OTHER shape! Wow.

I see the 2 shapes and am still lost
Posted on Mon Mar 23, 2009 07:40 PM |
Can I send someone a tangagram to see if I am even on the right track?

Nope, nothing to do with location or sovereignty.

if this puzzle included my country I would be looking at white ones.

[29] If your country is what I think it is, this puzzle would have had to have been submitted before 1845!

How does Equatorial Guinea fit in here?
Edit: Dang it.. on the poor resolution image I found, I couldn't tell that those were of that shape

Fantastic. Well done, jebediehard
