SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
damn it, someone beat me to it before i could type in google
whats the 212 for anyway
i'll still say the answer is tom hanks
Al Pacino
Sleepless in seattle, tom hanks, meg ryan... o there is no way you'll ever have a champ, unless you at least let us know if it's a person, thing, or place....
So here's a sincere appeal from puzzle addicts like me for one more clue... otherwise, i'll never get any work done, and will spend more than half a day on driving myself up the wall...
I don't have the answer, but let me muddy up the waters further...
212 is New York code?
Insomnia as sleepless is too literal. So, that's perhaps the red-herring Anantha wants us to swallow...
Citibank
212 - Area code of NYC
Insomnia - Citi Never Sleeps
Umbrella - the Travellers umbrella that has recently been sold by Citigrouop
Ans. CITIGROUP
212: Area code for New York City - also know as the 'city that never sleeps'
Citigroup tagline: Citi Never Sleeps
Also, Citigroup is HQd in NYC.
Insomniac: One who Never Sleeps which again ties in with the Citigroup tagline.
Umbrella: Thats the Citigroup logo.
Sumo gets it, I think! Damn!
Sumo gets the brownie
SOLUTION
212 = Area code of New York City = Citibank was founded in 1812 as the City Bank of New York.
Insomnia = Never Sleeps = An allusion to the slogan 'Citi never sleeps'.
Umbrella = The red umbrella, the current logo of Citi which will soon return to Travellers.
Trylateral = Citibank
