Clue 1: Truthgoddess - Fairy godmother

Clue 2: 75W - Platinum and Tungsten - they (along with other elements) are known as the cinderella elements

Clue 3: Genshoeco - not able to explain this convincingly - Genesis of all shoe companies or Ladies shoe company?
There is a Cinderella's shoe complany too.

Trylaeral - Cinderella??

good guess. but not even close.

pbzeppelin said...

anantha - is the TL FBI ?

pbzeppelin said...

half baked try - probably way off

clue 1 : veritas
clue 2 : Tungsten + Platinum = Wedding ring = Fidelity
clue 3 : no idea, all that i realised is that gen shoe is about rubber moulding etc...what company - no clue... hope someone smart cracks it

TL - as of now private equity firms / tech investments etc.. depends on third clue..

pbzeppelin said...

got another one..

75w - wedding ring
truth goddess or maat = feather (symbol) - diamond (engagement ring)
shoe moulding company - purity = purity/chastity ring

so TL - types of rings?

vinoo said...

long shot.
BATA

pbzeppelin said...

ok this time i hope i am right :) -

75W = heart beat + wolfram - wolfram + hart - Angel series
Genshoeco = LEather company = Buffy
Truthgoddess = aetolia (or some such goddess) whose symbol is firefly...

so TL - serials of Joss Whedon!

Unknown said...

Really long shot, will be very surprised if it is right, but have to try

Clue 1: Truthgoddess - Satyam + Eva - Satyameva Jayate

Clue 2: 75W - The chakra is 75% of the white space in the Indian flag

Clue 3: Genshoeco - Liberty shoes - Freedom

Trylaeral - Indian Flag??

Unknown said...

or something to do with Northern Lights/ Pole Star??

Clue 1: Truthgoddess - Aurora

Clue 2: 75W - ?

Clue 3: Genshoeco - North Star

pbzeppelin said...

a try.. anantha pls comment on our efforts...

Truthgoddes = virtue goddess = piety (pietas) = Pt
75W = 75 weeks ot Platinum jubilee
Genshoeco - dont know... does it lead to Portugal - code Pt?

so tl - platiunum/pt?

pbzeppelin said...

Got another one and to my mind it seems pretty ok! Obviously others may not agree...

Truthgoddess : As i said b4 Veritas - after which Verizon is named

75w - 75watts - motor - motorola

Genshoeco - Wellington company - Nokia (used to make Wellington b4)

TL - Telecom companies

anantha said...

valiant. but off the mark. i am glad the second clue has thrown you ppl offtrack.

pbzeppelin said...

and the other clues has kept us on track is it anantha! :)

pbzeppelin said...

having another try... the inimitable (hope thats right) me!

no clue on truthgoddess - what comedian is called sachdevi?

75W = afghanistan west = iran - Boman Irani (its also Paris phone code but cant seem to understand what paris west is?)

Genshoeco - Lever - Johnny Lever (this is very unconvincing - Latex co - HLL - Lever)

So TL - current bollywood comedians !!

pbzeppelin said...

appended to previous note.. far shot it could be shakti.. so shakti kapoor..

ANS. HARVARD UNIVERSITY or HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL (HBS)

Clue 1: Truthgoddess = VERITAS = Harvard's motto

Clue 2: 75W = 7523 (Harvard's institution code as per ETS)

Clue 3: Genshoeco = GENERAL SHOE COMPANY = The 1st Case Study published by Harvard Business School

anantha said...

Nimish has got the Trylateral. But I am not convinced with his 75W deduction. Sounds like an achha phatta to me. So half a point still up for grabs.

q said...

75W => Re(for Rhenium - Element with Atomic No. 75)W => ReW => WW => NYSE symbol for Watson Wyatt ==> and the leadership program at HBS is called the Watson Wyatt Leadership Program

Nimish V Adani said...

Does the 75 degree West longitude pass through Harvard? :P

Nimish V Adani said...

Clue 2: 75W = AMPlifier = AMP i.e. Harvard Business School's famous Advanced Management Program (AMP).

catcharun said...

75W -- 75 Wins -- the number of wins Harvard has over Yale in the Harvard-Yale regatta

catcharun said...

the longitude was the first thing I checked Nimish. It passes through Philadelphia, PA ..maybe HBS has a satellite program there :)

catcharun said...

got it

Dubya graduated from Harward in 1975

catcharun said...

excuse the typo..he did get out of harvard in 75

Nimish V Adani said...

Catcharun, Harvard also has 75 Nobel Prize Winners associated with it. But I doubt the connxn.

Nimish V Adani said...

75W = 1975 Dubya = George Bush completed his MBA at Harvard in 1975.

catcharun said...

dude i already said that..either it is completely wrong or anantha aint checking old comments

Nimish V Adani said...

ohok... i didn't realise that you had solved the Dubya bit... sounds like the rt answer to me.
