this is a strange one but hear me out...

rubiks - kiburs (anagram) = khybers mountain pass
basic = alkaline = bleach sounds like bealach another term for pass

20 - score = notch (notch a score)

so all 3 words are mountain passes!

another try closer to our hearts

rubik's - puzzle - riddle - riddler

20 - xx - double x - dr double x - another enemy of batman

basic - donno - poison ivy?

TL - BATMAN VILLAINS

pbzeppelin said...

basic could be bare bones or skeletor - hemans enemy... then they all just become animated villains

Kaevan said...

Hey Avinash, where are you these days?

pbzeppelin said...

basic = basic instinct - sharon stone - name of halle berry in flintstones

xx - woman - catwoman

now rubiks - could be jinx (die another day)

TL - HALLE BERRY ROLES/MOVIES

Rubik's --> Cube --> it's initial name was "The Gordian Knot"

Basic --> (WIP --> rather force fitting in progress :-) )

20 --> Alexander's age when he cut the Gordian Knot

Hence TL: Cutting of the Gordian Knot or the expression that arises namely "To cut the gordian knot"

rubiks - cube power of 3

basic - fundamental - fundamental rights - power or the 3

or

basic = primary transmission - electric power

xx - girls powerpuff girls

SO TL - POWER

pbzeppelin said...

rubiks cube called rubiks revenge

basic - basic instinct - the famous leg crossing sequence copied from the avengers

20 - not sure - score against - also 20/20 - vision - so an eye for an eye?

rubik's - cube - cubism
basic - basic colors - paints
20 - 20 questions - also called tintoretto - painter

pbzeppelin said...

first-ever attempt...

Rubik's Cube=> 3

Basic...3 basic needs....Roti, Kapda aur makaan => Bollywood movie?

Nimish V Adani said...

Clue 1: Rubik's = CUBE

Clue 2: Basic = VANILLA

Clue 3: 20 = The Letter T

If we add ICE to each of the above we get ICE CUBE, VANILLA ICE & ICE-T - names of famous rappers.

Thus, ANS is 'Rap artists with ICE in their names.'
