What's the Trylateral?
A well-earned brownie for Priya.
A new game for idle minds. RULES: 1. I'll give you 3 seemingly unrelated clues. 2. You'll have to think laterally and connect these clues to a person, animal, bird or thing. 3. You can post your solution in the comments section. 4. The one who cracks the puzzle first gets one brownie point from me. 5. I will put out a thousand puzzles in the next one year. The person with the most number of brownie points will be crowned as the champ.

The answer is Diamonds.
42213131015215 - 4 22 13 13 10 15 2 15 - DVMMJOBO (Substituting alphabets) - CULLINAN (Replacing them with the previous alphabet)
916176 - 9 16 17 6 - HOPE
1216910151619 - 12 16 9 10 15 16 19 - KOHINOR
I'm not sure of Kohinor is an alternate spelling for Kohinoor.
Whao! What a guess. Awesome. Might not be right. but great thinking.
Gr8 one Priya!
that was very good. full points.
THE SOLUTION
Diamond is about 4Cs & the tetrahedral carbon. So if one assigns 4 for the alphabet c, a will be 2, b will be 3 and so on...If you apply this code...
CULLINAN becomes 42213131015215
HOPE will read as 916176
KOHINOR will be 1216910151619
Smart priya pointed out a typo in my clueing it should have read as Kohinoor and the clue should have been 121691015161619.
Cullinan, Hope & Kohinoor are three of the famous diamonds. So the trylateral is diamonds.
