Had a weird dream last night that Asterisk was connected to an Arab Spring-like movement that was toppling dictatorships all across Africa. I was following along on the BBC News website where they had a map updating in realtime showing that government forces were almost entirely overthrown, and just clinging on in a couple of corners of Morocco and Egypt...
apparently masses of people had descended on [the central location] to find more clues, and it all sort of spiralled from there. And all I could think was "aww, I guess we weren't as ahead of the game as we thought. But the whole wave-of-democracy-sweeping-a-continent is still quite nice I suppose"
it was a very very long news article explaining it all, and I was scrolling through it trying to find the bit where it stopped talking about African geopolitics and started talking about Asterisk demos instead, but woke up before I could find it

So what was the correct solution? I suppose it was a bit more than "*"?

Well, the asterisk shape has 15 points, so in this case it's quite obvious that the solution was "*" :)
