Women? Is this a flag from Game of Thrones?
#2: Gaynor Sorrell (gesorrell) on Feb 26, 2018 [HINT]
This would be clearer if we had more colors...
#3: Lollipop (lollipop) on Feb 26, 2018
Is it a rainbow flag = pride of lions?
#4: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Feb 26, 2018
I agree with Lollipop
#5: Gaynor Sorrell (gesorrell) on Feb 26, 2018
Lollipop is correct. Once again, yellow would have come in handy.

I got the rainbow, but I was going to guess something about peacocks, until Gaynor's clue in the title. :)

I like your flag a lot and I totally would have gotten the right answer if I wasn't a day late.

My thought: "A wave of flags? What is the collective noun for flags", until I read the comments. I see now the pattern to these collective noun puzzles.

I still wonder, is there a collective noun for flags? (Google interlude) Yes, apparently a group of flags is a bunting. I like wave better.

Gaynor, I really like this one.

Juli, I learned something new today. Thanks. :-)

I enjoyed filling in the black diagonal for whatever reason, once a good chunk of the rest of the board had been filled out.

What's neat is you can use edge logic to find where the black dots are supposed to be to start. The black 4 and the red 1-3 work well together to create quick contradictions with the alternating 1-2's on the left edge. Basically unless you start in the right place, it looks like you're forced into a length of 1 black square in column 3.
