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.
Digene ???

ReplyDeleteThe first company logo for HP was an inverted ph and hp. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HP_Oldlogo.png
2ph ==> twoph --> touph --> tough phonetically
ReplyDeleteHence FORD TRUCKS - (the BUILT TOUGH slogan)
2ph = pph = PP Gene OR Pepe Jeans
ReplyDeleteOr probably pph pronounced could directly give Pepe.
ReplyDeleteBeetel
ReplyDelete2=B
ph = tel (short for phone and tele)
