Hint #14:
10 groups of 6 and 8 groups of 5

Well the US flag has 5 groups of 6
and 4 groups of 5 (stars that is)
But you haven’t mentioned any red yet.
Is it two flags, with the yellow for flames
of some sort?

Dave-
We have a winner!
It’s a US flag designed to set a Guinness World Records recognized mark for
the largest national flag made of LEGO in general and largest US flag made of
LEGO in particular.
Our flag will be over 6 feet high, 12 feet long, and 8 studs thick with a
maximum wave amplitude (it’s got a flutter) of about 40 studs. We made the
union of solid blue and 1-stud thick SNOT stars are attached with click
hinges on both sides. This meant we needed 2 x 50 = 100 stars, so that’s 5
rows of 6 and 4 rows of 5 on each side. In addition to the red, white, and
blue stars, stripes, and union, we have a gray flagpole with a yellow ball on
top. The other colors were just for internal interconnect to make a more
balanced collection of parts after dissassembly (and because we could not get
any more white).
We will assemble the flag during the second weekend of the July fair with the
aid of the general public.
Thanks to everyone who made a guess.

Very cool. I bet you will post photos on brickshelf (because not everyone will
be there).
Good luck.
