If you listen to the clues that your ego gives you, you'll hear him say "It's as easy as one, two, three." Notice that there are three sets of colors, I think they were blue, green and yellow. In order to solve this puzzle you need to be thinking in ones, twos, and threes. We never went to the library to get clues, and I really don't see how the clues you got help any. Hope this helps.
