  2. if you decode << u2 as the earlier you too...two answers are possible brutus and caesar. it's not a perfect fit. so are you guys on the right track? think.

  3. A thought...

    << is rewind. So rewind u2 = 2u
    Double u = W - George W Bush

  4. That does look more plausible. Nicely done.

    I was thinking more obscure answers such as

    "<< u2" ==> "left shift u2" ==> y1 ==> either 'yi' or 'yone'

    if yi ==> then personality = Pu Yi (the last emperor)

    Interestingly googling 'yone' does give a couple of obscure personalities one apparently a person who held the title of the oldest living person in the world.

  8. The << u2 could be interpreted as part of U2 and so the personality could be BONO (but then QM may say it could be any of the band members).

  9. But maybe BONO could be justified as he fights the cause of inequalities.

  12. wouldn't a more appropriate clue be '< u2' or 'u < 2' for a decode to 'u1' ? hmm.. looks like creative latitude at work here :-)
