Who's the Trylateral?
Q gets the brownie.
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.

Clue 1: ReMercury => Queen Again
Clue 2: Floydno. ==> Pink Floyd Number -> The Wall
Clue 3: Reflection --> Mirror
leads to Mirror Mirror on The Wall ..etc., and she becomes queen again
Hence TL: CINDERELLA
q, isn't the line Mirror Mirror on the Wall from the Snow White story?
Yes you are right!!
damn!
I change my TL: to SNOW WHITE
Isn't mercury used in making mirrors? So first clue might be:
ReMercury -> Mirror again -> Mirror Mirror
since no brownies given tho it seems to tie in...another train...
reMercury - hg - hg wells
floydno time - time machine
reflection - going back - again time machine or no image - invisible man
TL - time machine/hg wells
so maybe
TL: DOUGLAS ADAMS
Clue 1: ReMercury => HgHg -> H2G2 --> HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy by DA
Clue 2: Floydno. ==> Pink Floyd Number -> 'The Division Bell' name was chosen by Douglas adams (+ quite a few other connections)
Clue 3: Reflection --> Through the Looking Glass --> Lewis Carroll --> The Hunting of the Snark -> Fits (His first radio series of H2G2 was called Fits)
Hence TL: DOUGLAS ADAMS
Oh q, you poor poor fellow.
h2g2- popular name for HHGTTG.
floydno- the hundred connects that wikipedia throws up, such as marvin humming 'shine on ya..., douglas adams' biography, division bell, whatever.
reflection- Deep thought !
so the answer to life , the universe and TL is... ...42.
Teehee.
Puzzle #42 :)
BTW, the answer should be Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
The Trylateral is a "Who", so shouldn't it be Dougals Adams?
Sorry, read it wrongly. It is DA.
Great connect, q.
q gets the brownie. kasthuri gets the notional brownie. i thought this puzzle should have been solved the moment some one saw puzzle 42. too bad you guys are slow on the uptake :-)
