For anyone who likes the beach season, I\u2019ve spent endless hours soaking in the sun, building sandcastles, and playing in the surf.\n

There\u2019s something special about the salty wind, the sound of breaking waves, and the sensation of sand between your toes that makes you feel completely happy. But, amidst all the enjoyment, I just discovered a puzzle that I had never solved before: the cryptic purple flag.\n

We\u2019re all familiar with the beach\u2019s flag language: the brilliant green signaling safe and calm waters, the flaming red wa::rning of dangerous currents, and even the cheery yellow telling us to exercise caution.\n

Imagine this: it\u2019s a beautiful day at the beach, and you\u2019re standing on the beachfront, ready to jump into the surf. The waves are smooth, the sun shines, and everything appears to be in balance. Your gaze sweeps across the familiar flags, measuring the ocean\u2019s attitude.\n
