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.
anantha - is the TL FBI ?
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..
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?
long shot.
BATA
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!
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??
or something to do with Northern Lights/ Pole Star??
Clue 1: Truthgoddess - Aurora
Clue 2: 75W - ?
Clue 3: Genshoeco - North Star
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?
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
valiant. but off the mark. i am glad the second clue has thrown you ppl offtrack.
and the other clues has kept us on track is it anantha! :)
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 !!
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
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.
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
Does the 75 degree West longitude pass through Harvard? :P
Clue 2: 75W = AMPlifier = AMP i.e. Harvard Business School's famous Advanced Management Program (AMP).
75W -- 75 Wins -- the number of wins Harvard has over Yale in the Harvard-Yale regatta
the longitude was the first thing I checked Nimish. It passes through Philadelphia, PA ..maybe HBS has a satellite program there :)
got it
Dubya graduated from Harward in 1975
excuse the typo..he did get out of harvard in 75
Catcharun, Harvard also has 75 Nobel Prize Winners associated with it. But I doubt the connxn.
75W = 1975 Dubya = George Bush completed his MBA at Harvard in 1975.
dude i already said that..either it is completely wrong or anantha aint checking old comments
ohok... i didn't realise that you had solved the Dubya bit... sounds like the rt answer to me.
