It is widely believed that the phenomenon of getting bifocals (we call it 'betaala' amongst Gujaratis) happens at the age of 42. Hence puzzle #42 correlates well with Bausch & Lomb.
Well, just realized that BOL is not the NYSE ticker symbol for Bausch & Lomb. The blog claiming the same, which is what you see first on Google's search results on typing 'Bausch & Lomb + BOL' is wrong.

The Rules
1. I'll give you a cryptic clue. Your job will be to decode it. 2. The cryptic clue may use an arcane code or a code you might already be aware of. Your challenge will be to pick the right code to crack open my cryptic clue. You can take the help of the net to get up to speed about the arcane codes. 3. Usually, the level of difficulty might offer you a hint about whether to use an arcane code or not. 4. There are many levels of difficulty. The highest level is called codi5 you can't crack it. The level of difficulty will be indicated using tags. 5. You get a day to solve a puzzle. The first person to crack a puzzle gets 5 points or a fiver. Sometimes, I might use my discretion and award 10 points to the deserving. 6. Puzzles that haven't been solved will be labeled as Unsolved. The answers for the same will never be disclosed.

ReplyDeleteMessed up with that and hence deleted the comment.
ReplyDeleteQ's Bausch & Lomb attempt seems good given the ISO Code for Bolivia is 068 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1
ReplyDeleteIf one uses the resistance colour coding then we get Black Blue & Grey or BBG. And so org could be BLOOMBERG.
Now I am certain that it's Bausch & Lomb.
