Clarifications… obfuscations [Image: Dall-E 3]

Hello, whoopers!

Here’s clue #2 for The Weekly Whoop #1. It is all about clarifications.

Do you recall the four questions of the quest?

The Quest

Use the key (and the clues) and tell me what:

1. Principles (in a field)

2. A brand/company

3. Another brand/company

4. Organism that, some say, was instrumental in a third brand/company’s success.

Here are the clarifications.

Clue #2

1. All three brands/companies are consumer product companies.

2. The Principles represent a strong common thread, a connection¹ among the three brands/companies, though two are connected more directly.

3. The organism instrumental in the third brand/company’s success is a person². Their name is hidden in clue #1. Of course, you will have to decipher it.

I feel like I am practically giving away the solution here. Maybe not.

1. This explains the line, “The three stand apart, with a single beating heart,” from clue #1.

2. This explains the insert ‘human organism’ from clue #1.
