wild guess.
the answer is Ian Fleming.
1. iiii -- four eyes --for eyes
-- for your eyes only -- Fleming's bond novel
2. quartermaster --army or naval
officer -- Fleming worked as
a naval officer during the second world war
3. 155 -- no idea
Ans. STEVE JOBS
Clue 1: iiii = Capsule containing several i = iPod
Clue 2: Quartermaster = Quad Processors (that are used with Apple Mac Pros)
Clue 3: 155 = 155 retails stores operated by Apple
Nothing else comes to mind.
155 is CLV in roman. CLV is some CD-ROM technology.Was it developed by Apple
iiii= ai ai ai ai (phonetically)= sound made by frustrated puzzle solver on reading Anantha's puzzles
quartermaster= role played by Anatha in rationing out these puzzles
155= dunno... maybe 15th May= Anantha's birthday?
The Trylateral is Anantha!
Hats off to all those who have scored brownie points so far...
Another wild guess: Arsenal FC
1) iiii - 4 ones - Arsenal is one of the 4 teams to have won the Premier League so far.
2) Quartermaster - someone who is in charge of supplies for the army which would include the arms and ammunition in the arsenal.
3) 155 - May 15 - Arsenal completed a whole English Premiership season, 38 games, unbeaten on May 15, 2004.
Rather far-fetched I know, but I had to give it a shot.
Another wild wild try:
Ans. VISWANATHAN ANAND
Clue 1: iiii = Depiction of 4 pawns in Chess. Mebbe Anand favours a 4 pawn attack strategy.
Clue 2: Quartermaster = Rapid Chess Champion (You only have a quarter of the time in rapid chess as compared to classical time-bound chess)
Clue 3: 155 = No idea.
iiii = Mi6-Mi2!!!!
Quartermaster-->"Q"-->head of Q Branch in James Bond movies
155 = 162-007
Answer:- James Bond
iiii - for eyes - Honda owns Acura
Quartermaster - Company started off around world war 2 with idea born from castoff military supply
155 - CLV - Honda CLV
connection - Honda
jrahul & wanderlust didn't push themselves enuf.
JAMES BOND
Clue 1: iiii = Bond 22, the working title of the next James Bond film.
'Bond 22' when taken literally implies that we must bond 2 and 2 i.e. iiii, when 2 and 2 is written in Roman.
Clue 2: Quartermaster = Q, the character who does the gadgets for James Bond.
Clue 3: 155 = I think this has gotten something to do with time. As in 1:55.
hi,
here is my attempt again.
the answer is Desmond Llewelyn.
1. iiii -- 9th letter -- 9999
--- Desmond died on Dec 19,1999
in a car crash -- the four nines
come from that date
2. quartermaster -- Q -- Desmond
played the role of Q,the
quartermaster of the MI6 gadget
lab in 17 bond movies
3. 155 -- he created 155 gadgets
in all.
PIERCE BROSNAN
Clue 1: iiii = For Your Eyes Only = Pierce Brosnan, met James Bond series producer Albert Broccoli during the making of For Your Eyes Only. Pierce Brosnan's wife was a part of the film.
Clue 2: Quartermaster = Q, the character who does the gadgets for James Bond.
Clue 3: 155 = Country Code of Tajikistan. The Bond video game Everything or Nothing Everything or Nothing opens in the mountains of Tajikistan. Herein, James Bond is modeled and voiced by Pierce brosnan.
iiii --> november 11 --> James Bond's assumed Birth date
Quartermaster --> Q
155--> somehow maps to 007
TryLateral--> James Bond
i'll "help" WL by saying 007 in base-155 is 155
tl is roger moore
iiii - for ur eyes only - features him
quartermaster - q (bond series...)
155 - aee - aye - roger
SUNITA WILLIAMS
iiii = 4 spacewalks?
Quartermaster = Sunita Williams's navy stint?
155 = ISS (when seen in a calculator) = Int'l Space Station
tl - steve davis
for ur eyes only - roger moore - is ref to as the roger moore of snooker - deadpan face
q - cue - pool player
155 - snooker - max pts
clue 1 cd also be chess - he is a chess player too
iiii = Bow of fours = Bofors
Quartermaster = Q = Quattrocchi
155 = 155 mm Bofors Gun
Ans is BOFORS / OTTAVIO QUATTROCCHI?
