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.

What's a Pledgeline?
some furious googling threw up names such as herman hesse and hilarion
i venture "the glass bead game"
i'll wait and watch the brownie go to a more logical guess
What's a Pledgeline?
Damn! This is a really tough game. I am not liking it one bit. Hmph!
hats off 2 d guys who manage 2 get them answers. i enjoy figurin out how they managed it. phew!
wild guess again.
the answer is assembly.
1. siddhatha --gauthama buddha
-- many buddhist councils or
assemblies were held
2. jerome -- translator of the bible from greek to latin,but
obviously doesn't fit here
3. pledgeline --- where pupils
take pledge in a school
--- assembly
doesn't sound good,but this is
excellent preparation for my
brand equity final on 29th April in Mumbai. Thanks anantha.
I am mining a lot of info to
solve your puzzles.
Ans. JERRY SEINFELD
Clue 1: Siddhartha = Rahul Siddhartha , stand-up comedian. (Haven't yet figured this one)
Clue 2: Jerome = Jerry i.e. Jerry Seinfeld
Also, Jerry Seinfeld's actual name was Jerome Seinfeld
Clue 3: Pledgeline = Sign Field = Seinfeld (phonetically)
Just another thought on the first clue:
Clue 1: Siddhartha: The underlying theme in the life of Siddhartha (Gautam Buddha) was renunciation of the material world. He attained enlightment in nothingness.
Seinfeld was a "show about nothing"
So, the answer for the Trylateral would probably be the show Seinfeld rather than Jerry Seinfeld.
I think its a long shot but still trying
Ans. JENNIFER KENDAL
Clue 1: Siddhartha = Movie starring Shashi Kapoor, husband of Jennifer Kendal
Clue 2: Jerome = A song written by Jennifer Avalon.Same first name
Clue 3: Pledgeline = Still trying to figure out
Clue 3
Jennifer is a female who started a pledge to donate money for the homeless in Kenya. And then others joined in.So she is at the head of the line.Pledge Line. Jennifer
Whoa Nimish!! Man I just attained enlightenment just by reading your post for the Sidhartha clue!!
If only you worked out your body the way you work out your grey cells ;-))
Good work on the Jerry Seinfeld bit. Though I still think there's a catch somewhere...
I like the thinking behind the answer for Jerry Seinfeld. Already feel quiet enlightened. Still no clue of the answer, thouygh.
Yup Rajeev (WL), there seems to be a catch somewhere. Unable to catch it though.
Shouldn't there be a space between 'pledge' and 'line'?
Assuming the answer is Seinfeld... I'd say that the absence of the space is to signify that the synonyms of Pledge and Line be spoken/spelt out together.
I think the answer is the Indian National Emblem.
This is how I worked it out...
Sidhartha-->Buddha-->Dharmchakra
Jerome-->Removing thorn from the paw of a Lion-->4 Lions
Pledgeline-->Satyamev jayate (Truth alone triumphs)
WL, you need to pop a few Mentos'
Good guesses, pals. Some of you are on track. But still nowhere close to the Trylateral.
A wild guess: Is it Virgin Atlantic?
Jumping on to the Jerry Seinfeld bandwagon:-)
Sidhartha-->Buddha-->Monk-->Vihara (Assembly hall)
Jerome-->(Jerry) Seinfeld-->Monk's Cafe-->Gathering point
Pledgeline-->In school--> Assembly
Answer:- Parliament House
The answer is FORD- the man or his car.
Siddhartha- edited by James FORD
Jerome- is Jerry - is Jerry (Gerald) FORD
Pledgeline- assembly line- FORDS big triumph
Answer : Nalanda
1. siddhatha -Name Gautam Buddha
2. jerome - Saint
3. pledgeline - where pupils
take pledge in a school/Univerity
University where saint Gautam Budhha preached - Nalanda
I think it could be Bodh Gaya
Twas the place where Gautam Buddha became a Saint after attaining enlightenment.
And wannabe buddhist saints take their pledge there
Sidhartha - Buddha - Zen Buddhism - which influenced Salinger
Jerome - What the J in J.D Salinger stands for
Pledgeline - Something to do with swearing of which there was a lot in the book
or stands for Call+Field = Caulfield, the protagnist in the book
Trylateral - The catcher in the rye
Ans. SHEKHAR KAPUR
Clue 1: Siddhartha = BUDDHA - Shekhar Kapur's much talked about and yet to be made movie.
Clue 2: Jerome = Jerome Taylor, West Indian bowler from St. Elizabeth = ELIZABETH, Shekhar Kapur's directorial success
Clue 3: Pledgeline = GAWAHI, a movie *ing Shekhar Kapur
jrahul & wanderlust are on the right track.
another guess
Siddhartha - buddha - Monk
Jerome - Jerry - Monk's cafe (as said)
Pledgeline - Sacred Thread - Poonal or Upanayanam
So connection is monk/hermit/sanyas something like that?
TL is Deadheads
1) Siddhartha -> Buddhism -> Grateful Dead was named after the Tibetan Book of the Dead which is related to Buddhism.
2) Jerome -> Jerry -> Jerry Garcia
3) Pledgeline -> Assembly
So the connection is a gathering of Grateful Dead fans - Deadheads.
TL - INDIAN FLAG
Buddha - dharmchakra
jerome jay walk - traffic signal - 3 colors - tiranga
pledge line - march past, swearing in with our flag
I think I have it..
Siddhartha = Buddha = Monk --> Monk's Cafe
Jerome = Real name of Jerry Seinfeld, Central character of the show
Pledgeline = First sentence told to someone taking oath: "Stand up!" --> Stand-up is what Jerry does in the beginning and end of the show (also, the show was initially named Stand-up, at least according to Wikipedia!)
TL = Seinfeld, the show!
Thanks to everyone for showing me the way! But the brownie is mine.. only mine.. my prrrecious!
oops it seems i have two accounts here.. just to clarify and for future reference, devashish has long hair and a beard!
not there yet, son.
TL - BOB MARLEYS GET UP STAND UP
BUDDHA, THE AWAKENING - GET UP
JEROME - SEINFELD HENCE STAND UP
PLEDGELINE - STAND UP (START OF OATH )
i havent got everything right.. another hunch
is the TL - Tehelka (paper or movie)
Siddharth : The Siddharth Vashist sting
Jerome : not sure as of now
Pledgeline..their slogan about truth - jhoot bhole kauva kate
OR it could be movies by Hrishikesh Mukerjee
Siddharta : Buddha - Buddha mil gaya
Jhoot Bole Kauva Kate
What's Jerome?
siddhartha - buddha - dharmchakra
jerome - lion
pledgeline - satyameva jayate
our national emblem at ashoka pillar - sarnath
tl - buddha bar
clue 1 - buddha
clue 2 - monks cafe - lounge (music)
clue 3 - petition hawaii buddhists
