While wearing Amethyst colored glasses, John Neun gave George Burns
the following riddle: "Look closely and you will see something
between Pi, You and Me."

There are some definate constraints as to the possible meaning of this clue that have not been mentioned.

Amethyst colored - I think that the addition of the word colored means that this part of the clue has more to do with the color of Amethyst than than the structure or any other attribute ot amethyst.

Look closely and you will see something
between Pi, You and Me - Secondly there is a bit of ambiguity with the sentence structure of the last part,"Look closely and you will see something between Pi, You and Me". This could be one of two things both of which have two different meanings. It could be listing 3 things that are seen when you look closely, "something between pie", "you" and "me". It could also mean that when you look closely, you see you and me between pi.

There has been alot of concentration on connections between the various things mentioned in the clue but very little attention to how they relate in the context of the clue. FIRST could have just given us a clue that read something like "John Neun, You, Glasses, Me, pi, Amethyst, Emerald, look closely,George Burns" but they didn't. The structure of the sentence is purposeful and there for a reason.
