Well, if it does have to do with the date that you joined/you were born, we need to figure out the correlation between that and the "1".
 

We have the same flag, were you born on the second? I joined on the fifth, so maybe it's join date. What day did you join? (see public profile)

EDIT: Ok, so it's obviously not the day you joined as we have different join dates. Birthday maybe?

, you and I have the same flags, lets put this together! I was born on the 14th so that can't be it. Can you figure out the date you became a member?

My join date was also the 18th, by coincidence. That's given on my public profile.

Yours was the 19th, and your first post on the 23rd.

So much for my bright idea:confused:
 
Everyone that's trying to figure this out should get on AIM or MSN and we should hold a chatroom so we can be much more efficient in solving this. We don't want to let MacRumors down in the bet! (AIM: bottlerocket625)
 
I think the final flag is random to be honest. I can't see any similarities with the publicly available information...
 
I haven't seen any other Canadian flag besides mine. What could that mean? I've seen plenty of repeats like the Greek or Vietnamese flag.
 
What about the second icon? I think that is somehow based on last activity. All the people with the face on page icon like me have been active within the last hour.
 
Wish we could change them, they would be awesome if they carried some significance besides a silly 'joke".

Forget it, I see no pattern, except that all the people I've found who don't have a plain paper have fewer than 100 posts.
